You may remember this beautiful couple from their engagement session that was recently posted posted on the blog. Well, as of Saturday, Julia and Robert are officially married at the Aria in Prospect, Connecticut.
There's a light that just shines through with these two. On top of just being sweet people, gracious and thoughtful in all of our interactions, they are so open and were willing to trust in the crazy process that can be wedding photography. There wasn't a single thing I suggested that they weren't up for with a smile.. unless I asked for a serious expression that is!
Julia and Robert really value family and tradition. And their wedding incorporated a fun and meaningful mix of formal custom, personal history, and playful touches from the decor to their plans throughout the day. During their wedding ceremony they incorporated a traditional tea serving ritual, offering tea to each of their parents to show their respect and gratitude. It was beautiful to watch as each was served followed by hearty hugs. At their reception, dancers during dinner entertained with a number of cultural dance performances completely with colorful traditional attire. This couple also showed their love for their Alma Mater with an appearance by two UCONN huskies at cocktail hour. IfJulia and Robert weren't looking so great (just look at them and those smiles!) those pups could've really stolen the show! Needless to say, it was an incredible day. And there are tons of photos for me to go through, but, for now, I wanted to share this sneak peek with you all.
