Eolia Mansion Wedding | Karina + Alex - wedding photographer in CT

{Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park 6.21.24}

Some weddings just hit different, and Karina + Alex’s big day at Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park was one for the books! From the moment I walked into the bridal suite, I knew this was going to be a dreamy, elegant celebration. The energy, the love, the perfect shades of blue woven throughout every detail—it was a photographer’s dream come true.

Getting ready – the calm before the magic

Karina spent the morning with her closest girls, getting pampered by the insanely talented Beauty by Mineko. Watching her step into her stunning Pronovias gown (seriously, that lace train was next-level gorgeous) was such a special moment. Meanwhile, Alex and his crew were getting suited up, looking sharp and ready to see his bride.

The first look – cue the happy tears

Before the ceremony, Karina + Alex chose to share a private first look, and let me tell you, it was everything. As soon as Alex turned around and saw his bride, the emotions took over. They also exchanged handwritten vows in this quiet moment, and yes, I was definitely trying not to cry behind my camera. These intimate moments are what make wedding photography so special—getting to capture the raw, unfiltered love between two people.

Saying “i do” at eolia mansion

Eolia Mansion was the perfect backdrop for their elegant outdoor ceremony. The classic architecture, lush gardens, and soft blue accents throughout the decor tied everything together so beautifully. The ceremony was heartfelt, emotional, and full of so much love. Watching these two officially become husband and wife was such a joy.

The party – dancing the night away

After the ceremony, it was party time!! Dawson Entertainment brought the vibes, and let me tell you, this crew knew how to party. The dance floor was packed all night, and the love and joy in the room were absolutely contagious.

A day to remember

Karina + Alex’s wedding was the perfect blend of classic elegance and pure fun. From the soft blue tones to the emotional first look and the epic reception, every moment was a dream to capture.
