Connecticut Weddings

As you are well aware, we rave about all of our Little Black Book members … but Justin & Mary … well, we usually shout from the rooftops how much we LOVE their work! Their newest feature on Style Me Pretty is no exception to the high quality of all their wedding imagery.

The beautiful bride, Jenna is captured throughout the day with her gorgeous smile and that glow that you read about in romance novels!

These shots with Jenna and her Dad are priceless!

… and her grandmother … too sweet …

Jenna’s amazing dress is Priscilla of Boston. LOVE the design!

Lots more to come of Jenna & Joe’s Connecticut wedding from Justin and Mary Marantz …

{ps, the Marantz’ are featuring Jennie Fresa’s Beauty Library on their site today. Jennie is one of our fabulous Little Black Book members who specializes in wedding makeup! So while you’re waiting for the rest of Jenna & Joe’s details, take a look at Justin & Mary’s post …}

It’s Friday! And bloggers do fun stuff on Friday’s, right?… Friday finds and Friday follows are super … but Friday friends are best!

OK, so we didn’t exactly find the Marantz’ … but we do count them as friends!

This is straight up, off their website …

A chill New England wind blew in out of the south and waded its way through a mire of blue-gray fog … she pulled her veil close around her and stood quietly in the background. She didn’t have to be there. Didn’t have to wait. Her pictures were finished and she could’ve gone inside among the warm glow of friends & family. But she just smiled as she quietly declined. “I’ll wait for him.”

She’d been waiting for somebody like him her whole life. Someone who would love her with his whole heart and take care of her the way that she knew she would always take care of him. Someone who takes her hand when she’s getting out of a car and holds her just a little tighter when they dance. Someone who would love not only her, but her whole family as if they were his own. A comfort in the quiet, a compass in the storm. And today, more than any day, she knew that she had found him. See, she didn’t have to be there. Didn’t have to wait. But somewhere along the line she decided, “I’ll wait for him.”

Married: Joe & Jenna

Jenna & Joe were married at the beautiful Black Rock Yacht Club with the help of the amazing Traci Romano Events and Katherine Jacob of KD&J Botanica. And they got the coolest day EVER with all this crazy beautiful fog. ‘Cause as any photographer will tell you, we’ll take clouds and fog over bright sun any day!! So as you will very soon see why, I think their whole day felt like one big ongoing Ralph Lauren ad. Yea, it was nautical yumminess at its finest! First up, Justin went to hang with the guys and got some of my favorite guys getting ready shots…ummm… EVER:

Nobody tells a story better than Mary & Justin Marantz … their images, their words  … the best!

More of the story … tomorrow!
