Mystic Connecticut Wedding: PJ & Liz

The 2015 wedding season has come to a close and it couldn't have ended with a sweeter couple! I adore PJ & Liz so much and you can tell that I'm not the only one- they are loved by so many. Their wedding was such a beautiful celebration & I feel so honored that I was able to capture such a momentous day. Congratulations PJ & Liz!

A huge thanks to Manny for shooting with me & capturing beautiful moments like this one:

PJ & Liz- I'm selfishly so sad your wedding is over! I had such a great time capturing your Big Day! Thank you so much for everything. You two make a beautiful couple both inside & out. :)

Love, Lacey

Doyle Family

My favorite thing about family shoots is getting the chance to capture everyone's personality. I think you can tell from the photos exactly which one loves the camera (hint hint: pictured just below). I had such a good time with the Doyle Family! The air was crisp and the leaves were as beautiful as ever. I don't think we could have asked for a better day! :)

John, Mary Kate, Jack, Annabelle, & Charlie- You guys are awesome! It was great to finally get to meet the whole family. I loved getting to spend time with you all. :)

Love, Lacey

Engaged: Leah & Dave

Coming from Florida, I'm like a kid in a candy store when it comes to fall foliage. I can't get enough of it- the colors are just so beautiful! As you can imagine I was pretty excited when I found out Dave & Leah wanted to do an engagement shoot in October! They love to hike with their dogs so that's exactly what we did. We spent some time in the beauty of the outdoors, surrounded by the most stunning scenery. It really was the perfect spot to spend a Fall afternoon!

Dave & Leah- Thanks for taking me out on such a beautiful hike! The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. I loved getting to hang out with you guys. I'm really looking forward to June!!

Love, Lacey

Keever Family

There is nothing better then spending time outdoors in the Fall. And when you add the Keever family into the mix, it makes it that much better! This sweet family knows how to have a good time. Especially when it comes to playing in the leaves! ;)

Chris, Laura, Will, Charlie, & Ellie- Thanks so much for spending your Thursday evening with me! I had such a fun time with you all. It was so great to finally get to meet the whole family!

Love, Lacey

Connecticut Wedding: Scott & Erin

 The storm clouds were rolling in all morning and several times during the day, I wasn't sure how long the rain was going to hold off. But everything continued as planned; the ceremony took place in the middle of a beautiful vineyard. There was laughing, crying, and even a little dancing! It wasn't until after the reception had begun that the clouds opened up and it started raining- as if part of the plan all along. A perfectly lucky way to end the day! :)

A big thanks to Manny for second shooting! Love these images he captured of the guys:

Scott & Erin- Your wedding was absolutely beautiful! All the hard work & planning you put into it came together so perfectly. Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of capturing it all. Congratulations!

Love, Lacey

Engaged: Matthias & Ashley

It's pretty amazing how perfect Matthias & Ashley are for each other. They both swam at Boston College, have a love for the outdoors and are from the Northeast! But even more then that is how right they seem for each other when they are together- their smiles say it all. They have two of biggest hearts in the world and I cannot wait to see what adventures the future holds for them.

Ashley & Matthias- As always, I had such a great time with you both! I'm so excited for you guys! You two are so great together. I'm already looking forward to your next visit (which hopefully will be soon)!

Love, Lacey

Engaged: Eddy & Jennifer

What do you do when it's Fall and you live in New England? Go apple picking! I love that Jennifer & Eddy wanted to go to an apple orchard for their engagement shoot. It was the perfect place to spend the afternoon soaking up the nice weather & beautiful scenery. And getting to hang out with these two was the icing on the cake!

Eddy & Jennifer- I had such a great time with you guys! I can't wait to capture your beautiful wedding in May. It's going to be amazing! Congratulations!

Love, Lacey

New York Wedding: Mike & Marissa

There are so many things that I love about photographing weddings but my very favorite is getting the opportunity to stand behind the camera and capture all the amazing moments that take place on a couple's big day. And every wedding is so different; unique in it's own beautiful way. Mike and Marissa's wedding was no exception. Their gorgeous waterfront ceremony was the perfect place to say their vows and celebrate their love with their friends & family. Congratulations Mike & Marissa!

A huge thank you to Sejal for all of her hard work & talent! Love this image she captured below of Mike & Marissa:

Mike & Marissa- Your wedding was so beautiful & I'm honored that I got to be a part of it! I wish you two many many years of love and happiness. Congratulations!

Smith Family

As you can imagine, a family of boys can get a little on the hectic side but Ryan & Tennaly make it look easy! Their three kiddos have a lot of personality and I loved getting the chance to capture every moment of it. Mac, their newest addition to the bunch, is as cute as a button and is already holding his own with his older brothers. I have a feeling this year is going to be a great one with a lot of amazing memories as a family of five! 

Ryan, Tennaly, Kenan, Cal, & Mac- You have such a beautiful family & I had a great time hanging out with you guys! Mac is so adorable. He has some pretty awesome older brothers to look up to. Hope to see you guys again soon!

Love, Lacey

New York Wedding: Roman & Nicole

Let me tell you, these two are absolutely loved by their family & friends. And after getting to know Roman & Nicole over this past year, I can see why. They are such a beautiful couple both inside and out. The joy on their wedding day was contagious and I can't help but smile every time I go through their pictures. It was definitely a Fourth of July they will never forget!

Roman & Nicole- Thank you guys for everything! It was such a honor to document your Big Day. I hope you both are having an amazing Summer & enjoying your first couple of months of marriage! Hope to see you again soon!

Love, Lacey

Connecticut Wedding: Andrew & Jess

I honestly love everything about Jess & Andrew's wedding! It was such a beautiful reflection of them and honestly, that's what it should be about. From their gorgeous ceremony held in an 18th century church to their stunning reception at The Lace Factory, everything was absolutely perfect. And to top it off, a quick stop at their favorite bar and run in with the local steam train made it that much more amazing!

A huge thank you to Nick for all of his help and for capturing beautiful images like the one below:

Jess & Andrew- Thank you so much for everything! I had such a wonderful time getting to know your family & friends. You guys are amazing! Have a wonderful rest of your Summer. Congratulations!

Engaged: Jonathan & Christina

These two are a long way from home but I think I can speak on behalf of Connecticut (and the ENTIRE Northeast) and say that we are sure happy they ended up here! We will take them for as long as we can. Jonathan & Christina are so sweet & I'm not exaggerating when I say their smiles will make you smile. Every time I look through their images, I catch myself grinning from ear to ear! They are such a joy to be around. Congratulations Jonathan & Christina! I am so happy for you two!

Christina & Jonathan- I hope you guys are enjoying your Summer & are starting to feel settled! I had such a wonderful time with you guys at the park. I know your wedding is going to be absolutely beautiful. Congratulations!

Love, Lacey

Engaged: Ryan & Emily

I had such a great time with Emily & Ryan on their shoot! It was the perfect evening to explore Harkness Memorial State Park (which might be my new favorite spot for a photo session!). Any place with gorgeous gardens & a beautiful beach has my stamp of approval. Congratulations on your engagement, Emily & Ryan!  

Ryan & Emily- Thanks so much for spending your Friday evening with me. You guys are so much fun! I hope you have a wonderful Summer & a happy engagement. Congratulations! 

Love, Lacey

Connecticut Wedding: Pat & Kylee

Let me tell you, Pat & Kylee are troopers! When the storm clouds rolled in during their first look, these two were all smiles. Nothing could have ruined that special moment between them. And despite the weather, it was such an incredible day filled with laughter, joy and a whole lot of fun shared with the people Pat & Kylee adore the most! 

Huge thanks to Sejal for her amazing talent & capturing such great images! Love these shots she got of Pat getting ready:

Pat & Kylee- Your wedding was absolutely amazing & I'm so honored I got to be a part of it! Everything was beautiful. Enjoy your Summer & have a wonderful FIRST year of marriage! Woohoo!

Engaged: Joe & Liz

Sometimes you meet people in your life and you feel like you have known them forever! I got to hang out with Joe & Liz a couple of weeks ago in Central Park and instantly felt like we had been friends for years. They are two of the sweetest people in the world and together they make one awesome couple! I cannot wait until April to document their beautiful wedding! :)

If you find yourself around 70th & 2nd Ave, be sure to stop by the Beach Cafe (patio featured above). Awesome staff & I hear the food is great! And for all my Seinfeld fans, a little clip of the show was taped right outside the Beach Cafe! 

Joe & Liz- I had such a great time with you guys! I seriously could not stop smiling on my drive home after the shoot. You two are so fun and I cannot wait to capture your Big Day in April! Hopefully I will see you guys before then! 

Love, Lacey

Married: Mike & Pamela

Pamela & Mike's wedding day was anything but boring! From the gorgeous ceremony held in a NYC cathedral to the reception in Greenwich, CT, the day was absolutely stunning. Watching Pamela and Mike celebrate together and observing how happy they made each other made the day all the more beautiful. Congratulations Mike & Pamela!   

A huge thank you to Manny for all his hard work and capturing so many great moments. Love these shots he got of the guys getting ready:

Mike & Pamela- I am so happy for the two of you! Your wedding day was so much fun and it was so great getting to know your family & friends. Thank you for asking me to be a part of capturing your beautiful day! I wish you two nothing but many years of happiness & love! Congratulations!

Love, Lacey

Engaged: Scott & Erin

I've been dreaming of warm weather since January, imagining the day when the snow would finally melt and I could see our grass again (which by the way, seemed nearly impossible). A day when ice cream would become enjoyable rather than serve as a reminder of the ferocious winter. But now, the air couldn't feel better and the grass couldn't be any greener. Old Wethersfield was the perfect backdrop for Erin and Scott's engagement shoot. A charming town and the perfect place for an afternoon stroll arm-in-arm with your main squeeze, your pup, and favorite ice cream cone!

Scott & Erin- Thank you so much for making the trip up to Wethersfield! It was so great getting to spend time with you both. Have a wonderful Summer! I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again in just a few months!! 

Love, Lacey

Georgia Wedding: Nacho & Andrea

There is nothing like a gorgeous Spring day to get married! And when the flowers start to bloom, Barnsley Gardens is definitely one of the most stunning places to be. Nacho and Andrea's wedding took place right outside of the Manor House Ruins which was originally built by Barnsley for the love of his life. Their ceremony, spoken all in Spanish, was so romantic and made their vows seem that much more personal and beautiful. The day was intimate, lovely, and full of many many happy tears!

A huge thank you to the talented Jill Doty for coming along and shooting with me! Love these shots she captured of Nacho getting ready:

Nacho & Andrea- Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your gorgeous day!! You guys looked stunning and I couldn't be happier for the two of you. I hope you guys had an amazing time on your honeymoon! Congratulations!!
