Connecticut Wedding Photographer; Great River Golf Club-Stephanie+Adam

Cynthia Brown — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:16:35 +0000

I can’t believe that we are designing Stephanie and Adam’s wedding album and I haven’t shared any images from their day yet! I really enjoyed getting to know these two over the last year! We borrowed a friends horse for their engagement shoot last spring, and then also did a lifestyle shoot with their adorable dog “Gertie”. Steph & Adam made a guestbook from those images as well as favor cards for all their guests announcing a donation to the Humane Society. We all love our dogs, and it brought me such joy to have “Gertie” involved in the wedding festivities even though she wasn’t present. Their ceremony took place at Center Church on the Green in New Haven. I love old churches and this one is impressive and quaint at the same time. It even has little doors on the pews!

Merry Christmas Everyone! One of my former brides is in town for the holidays and we decided to do a bridal shoot with this amazing vintage Balenciaga gown that I have. Yes you heard right, Balenciaga, as in 10.Avenue George V. Paris! If you are newly engaged, I highly recommend putting some thought into planning a Winter wedding. They can just be so magical! I’ll share more of our shoot in a day or so, I’m off to make my Red Velvet Cake and Lobster Risotto!

Wedding At The New Haven Lawn Club

Libby & Keith got married last May at The New Haven Lawn Club. This wedding was extremely well thought out and loaded with gorgeous details to photograph. It was featured first on Style Me Pretty and since I just finished designing their album today, I thought that I’d share the full wedding including some never before seen details. Libby is a Magazine writer and editor who blogged about planning her wedding during her engagement. She got hooked and you can see her latest inspirations at Follow The Wife.

Angela & Bryan got married at The Meadowlands in Darien, Connecticut. This beautiful venue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house has undergone a major renovation since I last shot there and is more gorgeous than ever. Angela & Bryan had both their ceremony and reception on site. Festivities Events coordinated and catered the affair on what was probably our last gorgeous weekend this Fall.

Hawaii Day After Session

Cynthia Brown — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 13:42:12 +0000

One of the amazing experiences that I had in Oahu was a day after session with Katie and Brady. At sunset we were in an outrigger canoe in big surf just off the beach in Waikiki. It was surreal and profoundly beautiful! More coming soon.

Coming Soon; Destination Oahu Wedding!

Connecticut Wedding Photographer; Eolia Mansion, Caitlin + Stephen

Cynthia Brown — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 14:56:16 +0000

The Eolia Mansion at Harkness Memorial State Park is a magical place. I simply love shooting there! Surrounded by sweeping views of Long Island Sound, 200 plus acres of rolling lawns and perennial gardens, this Revival-Style mansion is fairy tale glamorous! For Caitlin & Stephen it was the perfect backdrop for their french inspired wedding. Linen and lavender details combined with butlered Hors d’oevres and Dinner Buffet by Coastal Gourmet and music by Elegant Occasions. This gorgeous couple solidified their love in Paris in the same neighborhood that I lived in. Everyone attending this lovely event felt transported to the city of lights. Ooh, la la!
