Intimate Garden Wedding at Private Estate in East Haddam, CT: Hayley & James

August 28, 2024

When Hayley reached out to me about her wedding, I was honestly a little hesitant. I’ve photographed a lot of backyard weddings and some were wonderful and some were a headache and a half. After speaking with her, however, I knew I needed to photograph her and James’ wedding. Hayley is one of the sweetest and most genuine bride’s I’ve had the honor of working with. Though this wedding was a casual and intimate affair starting at her parent’s home for the ceremony and then moving to their own for the reception, it was an absolute joy. From beginning to end, it was clear to see the love that Hayley and James shared with one another. Even more so was the love they showed and shared with their loved ones.
