It was such a treat for us to shoot a wedding so close to home. You could almost say Ridgefield is our backyard, and as such we felt at home here with Sam and Ashlyn. As we welcomed the first week of fall, we also welcomed those leaves eager enough to have started turning colors and changing the landscape here at our local wildlife refuge where Sam and Ashlyn shared their first look and for their intimate backyard reception.

She attached a photo of his late parents to her bouquet after wrapping the stems with a piece of lace from her own mothers wedding gown. This bouquet was more than just blush colored roses, it was more than a pretty accessory, it was a story, a way to include and remember his parents who could not be there on his special day. She showed it to him during their first look which made their moment especially unforgettable.

But this was just the beginning. Sam and Ashlyn had the support of so many people. Friends and family who were just wonderful, who did so much to help, and made us feel loved as well. After one of the best marriage talks I've heard and the emotional "I do's" at the ceremony, the family held an intimate backyard reception. Guests were greeted with beautifully decorated tables on the lawn overlooking the pond and a delicious spread of appetizers. We cannot go on without mentioning the cake. This was not your normal wedding cake, it was a cookie cake! It was beautiful, fantastic, and made with love by Ashlyn's sister who is a pastry chef. Nothing, not even a few rain drops could wipe the smiles off anyones face! Join us on a journey through some of our favorite images of Sam and Ashlyn's wedding day!
