Katie + Brad
Our wedding weekend in Waterford, CT was a back-to-back wedding kind of weekend, with Katie and Brad wrapping things up for us. I had gotten to know Katie a little bit leading up to their wedding day, so by the time their day arrived, I was genuinely so excited to watch everything come together for her.
And honestly, Eolia Mansion is a pretty incredible place to do just that. The gardens, the grounds, the architecture, and those ocean views are hard to beat. There are beautiful spots around every corner, and somehow the whole place manages to feel both grand and completely relaxed at the same time.
I feel incredibly lucky that I got to photograph two weddings here back-to-back. Getting to experience the property in two completely different ways was such a treat, and Katie and Brad’s day was the perfect way to wrap up the weekend.
And because Katie and Brad ALSO have approximately a million amazing photos (surprise, surprise 😂), you already know this is not going to be the last you see of this wedding.
There are way too many good ones to choose from, so expect multiple sneak peeks. Stay tuned!
