Real Wedding in Connecticut: The Harkness Masion Sarah & Zack Get Married! Snap! Photography

I have such a happy, beautiful, kick up your shoes and feel good wedding to share with you all today - with a gorgeous bride & groom to boot!  Captured by the fabulous ladies of Snap! Photography; Sarah & Zack were married this past summer at the beautiful Harkness Mansion, right here in Connecticut.  Their wedding was infused with such great personal details; from Zack's home "Too Tall Ale" beer, to Sarah's beautiful flea market find vintage postcard escort cards, topping it all off with a a great pop of color with bright & cheery greens & oranges, "sunset colors" as Sarah & Yumiko called them, in the details.  Preppy nautical with a vintage flair, this wedding is romantic meets creative meets just plain fun! But I'll let you see for yourself...

(obviously LOVE the Kate Spade accessories!)

 The pair were married at the Coast Guard Memorial Chapel... is it me or do those colors match her palette perfectly?!

 

And Sarah's dad handmade that custom monogram mantle topper!  How great is that?!

 And you know any wedding with green striped straws and flip flops is sure to be a good time!

A photobooth guestbook is pure fun!

 How gorgeous are those grounds?!  And that mantle filled with treasured family photos... and that moss wreath... you know how I adore that!

Perhaps one of my most favorite details about the wedding is Sarah's description of the toast her three sisters made (Sarah is the youngest of 4 girls)  In her words " The toast my 3 sisters gave...they put together a recipe book of the most treasured family/friend recipes. They had been working on it for over a year and collecting recipes (and the stories behind them) from all of our family and friends. They made the book on snapfish and even included old photos of Zack and I from our childhood!!! The title..."A Recipe for a Happy Marriage" and Page 1 is complete with that recipe- 1 cup of love, 2 cups of honesty, a dash of forgetfulness, a sprinkle of kisses, etc. It is such a keepsake and was a great "gift" at the end of a wonderful toast!"  How sweet is that?!

It's pretty obvious in the images above that Sarah was positively glowing but I just adore these photos - so so romantic...

oooooooooh that smile... Sarah you are so radiant....  

& the gorgeousness just does not stop - these "between the two of us" just married portraits are instant classics...

Sarah & Zack - thank you so much for letting me share the details of your beautiful big day.  Your happiness completely filled these images and I am positively thrilled for you both.  No doubt you will live happily ever after! xo
