NICOLE AND MARK'S WEDDING

Heritage Hotel, Southbury Connecticut

Southford Falls State Park, Oxford, Connecticut

 

Nicole and Mark's wedding began on a mild March day with the sun shining and temperatures that were warm enough for an extended first look and portraits at Southford Falls State Park as well as an outdoor wedding ceremony at the Heritage Hotel.  But before I get ahead of myself, let's begin our wedding day with getting ready shots of Mark and his groomsmen at the Heritage Hotel.

Valenti 367.jpgValenti 367.jpg Wedding ceremonies are such a beautiful thing.  The girls looked so beautiful in their green dresses and beautiful bouquets with pine cones and nature flowers and tones.  The ceremony was filled with personal readings by their justice of the peace, exchanging of vows, and rings as well as lots of laughs and tender moments.
