Lindsay + Aaron’s Elegant Eolia Mansion Wedding: A Day Full of Love, Laughter & Vintage Charm
Lindsay and Aaron tied the knot on a rainy October day that couldn’t have been more perfect. Their Eolia Mansion wedding at Harkness Park was the kind of day that makes you fall in love with love all over again. As their wedding photographer based in Mystic, Connecticut, capturing their story felt like painting with light and emotion — the kind of artful, vintage film style imagery I live for.
Stunning details from dress to dogs…
Lindsay looked absolutely breathtaking in her gown from Lastrina Girls, her makeup flawlessly done by Sabrina from Allure Traveling Beauty. Aaron was the picture of classic elegance in his tux and bowtie from Xedo. And let me tell you, their two pups, Sophie and Gus, stole the show! Dressed to impress as flower girl and ring bearer in adorable outfits from Yvette’s Little Shop, they added the sweetest personal touch to the day.
One of my favorite moments was seeing Lindsay’s bouquet — she included family heirlooms and jewels passed down for generations. Carrying those treasures down the aisle made her walk even more meaningful.
A cozy, candlelit celebration full of joy…
The whole guest list was dressed to the nines in black tie, fitting perfectly with the elegant vibe of the Eolia Mansion. Blue Butterfly Florist transformed the space with stunning flowers, centerpieces, and plenty of glowing candles. Lindsay’s father escorted her down the grand staircase to Aaron, whose joyful, tear-filled gaze said it all. The love between them — and their families, many who traveled far to be there — was impossible to miss.
Dinner was cozy and intimate thanks to the mansion’s smaller dining rooms. But with the perfect guest count, everyone fit comfortably in one room, laughter and toasts echoing through the warm candlelight. The meal, expertly catered by Ivy’s Simply Homemade, was nothing short of spectacular — no surprise, since Lindsay and Aaron own the incredible Sweeties bakery and café in downtown New London. (I may be a little biased, but Ivy totally nailed it!)
After dinner, the night came alive with music from Band of New York, a group with Broadway and Rolling Stones credentials that filled the space with unforgettable energy.
Lindsay and Aaron planned every detail of their Eolia Mansion wedding with so much heart and care. It was a day full of artful moments, joyful tears, and beautiful memories — exactly the kind of story I love capturing in Mystic, Connecticut. I’m beyond grateful to have been their photographer and to witness the start of this incredible new chapter together. Here’s to many more adventures and all the love in the world!
