December was a very busy month for me this year with four Christmas theme weddings this year. Many of the venues will decorate their space with Christmas trees, lights and wreaths to bring in the holiday season. This can make for beautiful photos and add that sense of Christmas magic and wonder to your wedding day. Ben and Noverlee had their wedding at the The Woodwinds in Branford which was so beautiful inside with Christmas decorations adorning the stairs in the entrance and fireplace room. Noverlee's family came all the way from the Caribbean to attend so it was a multi-cultural wedding. Noverlee's bridesmaids were dressed in red dresses and Ben's groomsmen were in black suits with red ties to match.

It was a great reception with lost of fantastic dancing and music. As things started winding down I went outside with Noverlee and Ben for some night shots outside the venue. It was raining outside but we were able to shoot under the large canopy in the front of the venue to stay dry but at the same time get some beautiful night shots with the Christmas lights.
