Bride with bridesmaids, smiling, holding bouquets on a bridge. Dresses are varying shades of blue.

I am not good at these little blog intros. But these two deserve one 🙂 Dan and Kalee had myself and Ashley along for their wedding day. As a fellow industry professional in Kalee I was honored she asked me to be there to photograph her wedding. She had pretty much put together the dream team (not a surprise!). This included: Christina of The Harwinton Florist, Michael Simonetta for music, Larissa Lake for Hair and Makeup, The Starting Gate At Great Horse, Chad Whelan Videographer and Zita Christian.

The day went off without a hitch and below are the resulting images. Thank you to all wedding professionals who helped make this day amazing and the biggest thank you to Dan and Kalee! You guys are truly the best 🙂
