We started off the day at the Fox Tower of Foxwoods where Michele and Andre both got ready. The rooms there have a good amount of space even when there are a few people getting ready. This is great to have extra space to move around and store unused bags, which can accumulate quickly when there is a bigger bridal party.

The window light coming through in the hallway by the elevators was amazing so once Michele was ready to go we spent a few minutes there as we waited for her ride.

We went over to a nice little bridge for their first look which is located near the entrance of Lake of Isles. It was such a magical moment as these two were very excited to see each other. I love first looks! This gives the couple the opportunity to relax afterwards and ease some of the anxiety of getting married. It also allows for the to have a private moment before the hustle of getting married.

We then had time for bridal party portraits as well as family portraits before the ceremony even started. This frees up time during cocktail hour to focus on the bride and groom or allow them to mingle with guests during cocktail hour.

DJ Geoff Pusko from Local Motion Entertainment kept everyone on the dance floor and having a good time. he even allowed Michele, the bride, to get behind the booth and do a little DJing herself.

After photographing the engagement session with Lindsay and Kyle, I just knew that their Lake of Isles wedding would be a blast.  The connection between these two is easy to see.  They had a beautiful ceremony at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick in Norwich, CT. This is such a beautiful church, but interior is beautifully decorated and just looks gorgeous and photos. Even during the ceremony these two could not keep their eyes off of each other.  After the ceremony we went over to the Howard T. Brown Memorial Park located in Norwich right on the river.  It may have been cold but that didn’t stop us.  After spending some time at the park we headed over to Lake of Isles golf course for cocktail hour and some more portraits.  The live band kept at one on the dance floor all night long.  Everyone had such a great time celebrating the marriage of this wonderful couple. Check out some more of their images below. Check out some more of my wedding images in my gallery.
