Elegant Real Wedding in Connecticut by Robin Dini Photography

Courtney and Evan’s wedding events took place in the town of Stamford, Connecticut, which is where the bride's family resides. The church where the couple was married, Saint Cecilia Parish, holds very strong sentimental and emotional history for Courtney as her grandparents were married there years ago. Courtney and Evan chose to do a first look prior to the ceremony as well as portraits with their families and bridal party. It was an incredibly hot day but both took the heat in stride and enjoyed being photographed. Their ceremony was somber and beautiful as the minister from Courtney’s childhood officiated. After a full mass, guests were received at Madonia Restaurant, owned by a family friend, which was decorated from top to body with elegant lighting, delicate flower arrangements and cozy candle light. Guests enjoyed signature drinks and cigars during cocktail hour, followed by introductions, first dance, and toasts to the newlywed couple. After the cake cutting, the night continued with the hum of talk and laughter as guests wined and dined and enjoyed music and dance.

LOVE!
