Jordan + Lauren

Johnathan Edwards winery wedding

North Stonington, CT

We sure do love a good winery wedding. There’s just something about being surrounded by grape vines that makes everything feel that much more classy and romantic.

In early September of last year the team traveled a bit father North to Stonington, CT for the highly anticipated celebration of Jordan and Laurens wedding. We say highly anticipated because of how much we adored their engagement session that we shot in April of that year. They were super fun to work with, confident in front of the camera, and head over heels for each other. All those things rung true on their big day. A day filled with emotions, a little bit of nerves, and a lot of disco balls.
