My New Brother

My wife and I recently went up to northern Massachusetts to welcome a new member of the family - my sister in law, Sarah, was getting married to Liam.

It was, like my and Heather’s wedding, a simple, intimate affair. Everyone got ready together before congregating at a local park for a ceremony in the gazebo, officiated by one of their closest friends.

They took advantage of the big open space to have their first dance, which they invited everyone to join them on.

Then we all moved to a local restaurant for a brunch buffet reception. I didn’t take a ton of photos of the meal, but I did make sure to borrow Sarah and Liam for some couple’s photos on the beautiful grounds.

A beautiful day and a perfect way to welcome Liam into the family. Congratulations you two!

Lifelong Friends in Love

On a beautiful autumn day (Tammy picked her date from the Farmer's Almanac), two friends committed to love each other forever.

The day began with prep for the girls at a local salon, followed by a ceremony at the beautiful Sacred Heart church in Torrington.

Before the reception, we stopped at Topsmead State Park for posed photos. It's a beautiful park that I will definitely return to for more photos, and probably just to explore myself. The other people enjoying the park were very considerate and seemed to enjoy the show.

The reception was held at the Litchfield Inn, and was as relaxed and fun as you'd expect with two families that have known each other for decades.

It was a really fun night, kept simple and relaxed.

Congratulations Tammy and Shane!
