When Keri and Randy decided to tie the knot, they knew they wanted something simple, personal, and full of love. And that’s exactly what they got! Their beautiful backyard wedding took place on family property in Stonington, CT, on a perfect August day. The best part?

The backyard was the perfect setting for this intimate celebration. The space was full of family heirlooms, personal touches, and memories that made everything feel so personal.

Keri looked stunning in her dress, which was perfect for the relaxed yet elegant vibe of the day. Randy couldn’t take his eyes off her, and the two of them were absolutely glowing throughout the day. The ceremony itself was heartfelt and emotional, with a few happy tears from their loved ones.

Emotional moments captured in a vintage film style…

As their photographer, I had the honor of capturing every raw, emotional moment—like when Keri and Randy shared their first look, their quiet moments together, and the little moments of laughter that made the day feel so special. With my vintage film-inspired photography style, I aimed to capture their love in the most authentic way possible, creating images that feel like timeless works of art.

The golden hour light in Stonington was absolutely magical, and we took full advantage of it. The warm, golden hues helped bring out the romantic and intimate atmosphere of the day. Every shot was carefully composed to showcase the beauty of the couple and the connection they shared, while also highlighting the small details that made their wedding day uniquely theirs.

Every detail of the day, from the personal touches to the incredible vendors, made it a celebration they—and their guests—will never forget. It was a reminder that weddings don’t have to be extravagant to be unforgettable. They just have to be true to you.
