Fall Foliage Inspired Wedding at Pond House Cafe: Monica & Corey

October 30, 2024

How lucky am I to have the most incredible end to such an amazing first year full-time? Monica and Corey are some of the sweetest humans I’ve had the joy of working with. Their wedding at the Pond House Cafe in West Hartford was filled with quintessential fall inspiration and set the tone for a beautiful day, start to finish!

 

The day started with everyone getting ready at the gorgeous Avon Old Farms Hotel!

Monica had the sweetest ladies surrounding her! And seriously, how beautiful do they all look?!

I’m a sucker for a first look because it’s when all the real emotions show themselves…

Their officiant gave everybody a minute to grab a photo of them at the altar. So fun and such an easy way to include your guests and have an unplugged wedding!!

The excitement was real and I love Monica for feeling those feels!!

Because their ceremony was at sunset, we took some portraits right at the end of it and WOW were they gorgeous!!

 

This day certainly wouldn’t have happened without this team of incredible vendors making all this magic!!
