We always LOVE the unposed, laid-back style of The Marantz’ group shots. What a wonderful bunch of friends Jenna & Joe have!

And just as wonderful was the reception and the floral decor. Tracy Romano Events and KD&J Botanica did a tremendous job …

At the end of the night, the Black Rock Yacht Club served the guests these adorable mini-burgers & fries!

Congratulations Jenna & Joe … you guys look like you had a fantastic wedding day!

And a HUGE thanks to Mary and Justin for allowing us to repost your fabulous work!

For more Marantz Moments … keep a close eye on their website!!

Katie’s mom, Brenda and Traci Romano planned this sensational event and Yumiko of Hana Floral Design is responsible for the unbelievable flowers. We are so happy that so many of our Little Black Book members had a hand in this amazing wedding!

from Yumiko:  We used antique green hydrangeas, various hot pink garden roses, magenta stock, pink phlox and orchids for the centerpieces, as well as for the bridemaid’s bouquets. While the maids wore a gorgeous Amsale dress in a muted plum shade, the bride really wanted pink flowers mixed with greens.  The bouquets
definitely popped against the dresses.  Katie carried a muted ivory, blush and green bouquet, with her
Grandmother’s rosary attached to it.

This may well be our new favorite wedding … (am I allowed to say that?) …

Photography by Mary and Justin Marantz … we think you are true artists … and love your blog!

Katie and Colin were married in September at Stonington, Connecticut. At this point in the story, we would usually quote from the bride. Today, though, we want to share a few words from Justin and Mary, today’s featured Little Black Book photographers.

from their blog … through the course of the day I heard her ask this question of no less than twenty other people surrounding her- the proof and possession of a true giver’s heart. And one by one they would each just smile and shake their heads, too overcome by the generosity and thoughtfulness that one single person could possess. She is elegance and grace and goodness defined. A timeless iconic beauty- think Hepburn meets Holmes- mixed with just enough witty banter to make everyone around her just want to be her friend. Because you can just tell that she’s the kind of friend who loves with her whole heart and hugs like she means it.  But that’s just Katie.  And Katie would not be complete without her Colin. Because while Katie gives to take care of everyone else, Colin is the one who takes care of her. And you only have to see him look at her once to know that he always will.

Wow …

Here are a few pre-wedding photos of the so-so beautiful Katie.

Join us back in a bit for more of this special wedding.

I am completely smitten with everything about this look…from the long tables, to the delicate candle holders and opulent pink florals. It’s just so dreamy and romantic!
