Connecticut Woodsy Lakeside Wedding

11/23/2015

Writing this feels impossible!  In a good way, of course. 🙂  Lets ignore the fact I rose long before the sun in great anticipation of gathering this post by 8am on Monday morning.  That’s peanuts compared to the significance this darling gal has on me! <3

Let’s ignore all that for now too (you can read all about Allie + I’s friendship here) because this post is dedicated to the Fox + and the Raven.  Their love story.

Allie + Raven’s wedding at Interlaken Inn was surrounded by a nature lover’s dream.  A lake, rolling hills,  woods + farms around every corner, inspiring a woodsy wedding day vision.  Putting the gorgeous setting aside, it’s Allie + Raven who make this wedding special.  It’s their easy going and fun loving nature that inspired me most during their wedding day.  It was the sporadic moments and all emotions unmasked that resulted in one of my favorite weddings to capture this year.  It also didn’t hurt that Allie + Raven’s friends + family choreographed the best flash mob dance I’ve ever witnessed (okay, it’s the only one but it was SO good) resulting in the best reaction from the couple ever!

The perfect balance of calm and fierce, sincere and loyal, sweet and spicy leads you to the love of Allie + Raven.  These two are the real deal and I implore you to see for yourself…
