✨ Celebrating Joe & Kaylyn over on The Knot! ✨
TITLE: L'art De Vivre - When two photographers get married and create a European-inspired artisan affair, a feast for the eyes!
THE VISION:
Imagine being in the south of France on a late summer's day. The cool ocean breeze making its way up to the charming cliffside villages. The florals, a feast for the eyes, as if painted by Claude Monet himself. We beautifully blend modern simplicity with the rich historic tones of the past and bring our travels abroad to a hidden gem in Connecticut, Wadsworth Mansion. This setting, much like their love story, is a deliberate choice- The Wadsworth is not just a backdrop; it's a canvas, a testament to their shared values and inspirations. Kaylyn's vision, which draws from the elegance and artistic beauty of their travels abroad, mirrors the philosophy of the great masters who understood that art is a reflection of life itself. Their wedding was not just a celebration, but an embodiment of their journey together, their shared experiences, and their love for the arts.
THE COUPLE:
"We met as photographers at a fashion start-up 10 years ago; what started out as a friendship blossomed into the deepest connection we would ever know. Within the past decade, we have built a company, gutted and renovated our first home on our own and are raising our two amazing children. As wedding photographers, it was always a bit ironic we never had a wedding ourselves. We went back and forth between eloping abroad before deciding we would bring the south of France to New England and treat our loved ones to a truly artisan affair, something we would admire. Joe and I connect deeply on the philosophy L'Art de vive. When you are surrounded by artists, masters of their craft, and experiencing not only their profession but their passion, there is nothing quite like it. We wanted to transport our guests for an unforgettable experience that touches all of the senses. "
What a day!
