RIVERSIDE CONNECTICUT WEDDING

Samantha and Corey were married on October 13, 2019 at the Mill on the River. It’s a beautiful waterfront ceremony location in South Windsor, Connecticut. Trees line the river with a wooden boardwalk and a white gazebo offsets the green grass. It’s a really charming Connecticut wedding venue.

With a gorgeous view and room indoors for dancing, Sam and Corey chose to hold their wedding ceremony and reception there. Their ceremony was complemented by the day’s beautiful sunny weather and vibrant fall foliage.

RELAXED & READY FOR A WEDDING

Corey got ready with his two brothers and parents at the couple’s home, while Sam got ready with her sister and immediate family at her mom’s house. It was a laid-back morning for both of them. Corey stayed in his sweatpants until 20 minutes before go time, and Sam was chilling in matching jammies, eating cheese and crackers with her sisters all morning. We even caught some photos of cuddles with the dog. I’ve actually never photographed a MORE relaxed couple than Sam and Corey. To them, their wedding was a continuation and celebration of their life together rather than a vast pause from the regular hum of life.

LESS POSING, MORE DANCING

Sam and Corey wanted to be a part of their wedding day, dancing and enjoying the celebration as much as everyone else. For them, this meant using a minimal shotlist, allowing for LOTS of fun candids and time to be on the dance floor with guests.

The dancing started right away and there were some very committed dancers at the wedding. I love a full dance floor and Sam and Corey’s did not disappoint. DJ Steve maintained an upbeat energy that kept everyone moving.

HOW THEY MET

Sam and Corey have been together since high school. They even went to prom together (Sam’s mom proudly had their prom photo framed in the living room).

This wedding was a really sweet celebration after a long time of being together. They both come from great families and it was so much fun seeing them all celebrate this union together. Every person at this wedding had watched them grow up. It’s so special when your closest family and friends can witness that.
