Sophia & Matthew’s Connecticut Wedding

Sophia and Matthew called me just a couple of months before their January wedding. Sophia’s sister in law is on a online photography forum with me. We had never met in real life until the wedding but she suggested to Sophia that she should check out my website. They did, and they liked it! So, they flew Susan and I out to shoot their wedding. What an amazing experience it was! At the last minute we were invited to the rehearsal dinner where a Ancient Korean Ceremony (Paebaek Ceremony) was held. It was like nothing I have ever seen before. Sophia has several aunts that flew in from Korea for the wedding and helped with the ceremony.

Susan grabbed this photo of all of the women helping Sophia with her ceremonial clothing

The wedding day itself was so very special. Sophia got ready at Matthew’s parents home. I don’t know that I have ever met anyone that was so filled with joy. I felt like Sophia could burst at any moment she was so happy. Just spending the day and listening to her stories and her incredible faith was such a blessing to me. On top of just hanging out, I got to photograph it too. I’m a lucky girl =)

This is my friend Kelly. Isn’t she pretty ?

So thankful…

See what I mean? JOY!!

Sophia picked these rosary bracelets up when she was visiting the Vatican. They were her gifts to her bride’s maids.

Sophia, you are stunning.

Reading a note that Matthew wrote her moments before the ceremony.

I think Matthew told me this is the 2nd oldest church in Connecticut. Absolutely gorgeous.

We had a few moments outside of the reception to do some shots. I LOVED the light we had. Perfect.

Seriously, who ever would have thought that we could shoot outside in Connecticut in January?!
