Sometimes the stars align and you find yourself at the right place at the right time. That happened to me when Connecticut event planner, Kia Martinson-Wenzel, put out a call for photographers late in the wedding season. I was available that date and quickly got in touch with the bride, Lizzy. The rest is history.

I am so grateful for Kia for connecting me with Lizzy and Sebastian.   Their wedding was so full of joy and love, and there were plenty of tears (from the guys!). The weather was ridiculous — hot with 110% humidity — but that didn’t stop anyone from having a great time.  Friends and family, some all the way from Paraguay, laughed and danced and celebrated all night long.  At the end of the night I packed my bags and made my way across the field to my car, I watched the crowd gather around the bonfire and knew that the party would go on late into the evening.

Best wishes to Lizzy and Sebastian!  I am so grateful to have been a part of such a special occasion.
