Jonathan Edwards Winery Wedding | Demitria + Daniel - wedding photographer in CT

{Jonathan Edwards Winery 10.7.22}

When Demitria and Daniel described their vision for their early October wedding, they used words like romantic, soft, classic, intimate, and elegant. Their day at the stunning Jonathan Edwards Winery in North Stonington, CT, captured all of those sentiments beautifully. Custom watercolor invitations featuring a painting of the venue. DIY touches. A talented vendor team. Their wedding day unfolded effortlessly and every detail came together in the most magical way.

Personal touches + beautiful moments…

One of my favorite things to capture at weddings is those special moments that are just between the couple. And Demitria and Daniel’s first look was everything!!! After slipping into her gown from Lastrina Girls Bridal Salon, Demitria shared a sweet first look with her bridesmaids and her dad, but nothing could quite compare to the intimate moment she shared with Daniel. Just the two of them, in the quiet of the vineyard, as they saw each other for the first time that day—it was a scene straight out of a fairytale.

Their ceremony was held outside on the picturesque grounds of the winery, with the gorgeous vineyards as a backdrop. But the real tearjerker moment came from their “ring security”—an adorable little one who couldn’t hold back their emotions during the ceremony. It was one of those rare, sweet moments that I’ll never forget. The love and joy in the air were palpable, and it made the ceremony feel even more intimate and personal.

Golden hour portraits + a perfect reception…

After exchanging vows, I was able to steal Demitria and Daniel away for some moonlit portraits—something I absolutely love doing! The soft glow of the moon made for the most romantic, artistic photos!

The reception was a blast, thanks to DJ Dawson Entertainment, who kept the dance floor packed all night long. As guests celebrated and danced, the focus was always on the couple and the love they share, surrounded by their closest family and friends. With a delicious cake from Zest Bakery and mouthwatering catering by Gourmet Galley, everything about the reception was a true reflection of Demitria and Daniel’s classic, elegant vision.

This day truly was a celebration of Demitria and Daniel’s love—full of laughter, happy tears, and a whole lot of dancing. It was an honor to capture their special moments, and I know their wedding will be remembered for years to come.
