And finally, Part III of Sarah and Dan's amazing wedding at Saltwater Farm Vineyard in Stonington, Connecticut.
In my opinion. the perfect wedding is full of emotion, full of personal touches and full of fun. Sarah and Dan's wedding certainly fit that description!
Right after our portrait session, Sarah and Dan enjoyed a "royal kiss" on the balcony, with lots of encouragement from their guests!
Some delicious bites from Coastal Gourmet Catering.
Coastal Gourmet did a beautiful job setting up the space. I loved Sarah's idea of using wine bottles from Saltwater Farm Vineyards and twine in her centerpieces. The results created by Peg Morin of Friends in the Country were just perfect. She used all locally grown, seasonal flowers.
Another personal touch that I loved was this pair of pewter goblets that Sarah's parents used on their wedding day. They have their name and wedding date from 1973 engraved on them. Sarah's amazing parents had her and Dan's name and wedding date added to the other side. They were used in the ceremony.
Love these guys!
Sarah and Dan did an amazing job on their first dance, complete with twirls and a dip!
The speeches were both witty and sweet.
And then the groom gave a speech! It was very moving.
Delicious food from Coastal Gourmet Catering. Paella and kebabs!
Instead of a cake, Sarah and Dan chose to do some delicious desserts, including macaroons and key lime tarts (because they live in Miami and Dan is a "limey"!)
Sarah and her Dad's first dance
And then the party started. And this is the guy who kept them on the dance floor, DJ Melee.
Because everyone at the wedding was from out of town, Sarah and Dan hired transportation for their guests. But not just any transportation...
A Stonington school bus!
Sarah and Dan, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your special day. It was perfect from beginning to end and we know that you'll have a lifetime of happiness!
