Sarah + Zack at Harkness Mansion, Part Two

Posted by Melissa, Photos by Melissa and Sarah:


The place cards in all their glory! They are actually vintage postcards that Sarah found at a flea market. Score!





Dancing shoes...







I thought these straws were super fun.












There they are again! I love them!




Such beautiful colors!




And who doesn't love french fries!?



Whoever used those big sparkly letters I want to give you a high five! Nicely played!



Little Red Corvette




This blue fence is beyond cute! I love this picture! Sarah is working the shoes.



Zack is the tallest man alive so why not get a piggy back ride? It's a long way to the beach...




But so worth it!!!



Dear Boardwalk, I love you.



There was so much going on around us but you would never know! Someone was fishing to the right. A family portrait shoot to the left. The beach was hopping!



Sarah (the photog) working some bling magic



Finally we get to go pack to the party!




First Dance...








Photographer, not bride Sarah ran off to get some cool ambiance photos...







That Sarah is good!



Who needs one cake when you can have tons of cupcakes?



Dad and his girls!



I always love the candy bar! I can never resist stealing a reeses peanut butter cup... Or two.




Zack's friends were crazy dancers!!!! They all were in t-shirts within the first hour of the reception. Some boys do not like to dress up!



Sarah singing for her guests! The way she is holding the singer's wrist makes you think she never wants to stop!



My last romance shot!



I lied!



One more smooch outside!

Sarah + Zack at Harkness Mansion, CT... Part One

Posted by Melissa, Photos by Melissa and Sarah
Nothing makes me happier than a bride who adds a little pizazz to the traditional white bridal attire! What else makes me happy? Kate Spade! Sarah is two for two here! Green shoes and an awesome little clutch...


Finishing touches before the dress. Sarah looks beautiful!






While I was with the ladies Sarah was over at Harkness Memorial State Park in CT with the guys! Looks like they were having a good time!


I did Sarah and Zack's engagement shoot over a year ago. Zack is in the Coast Guard. Two days after our shoot he was on active duty. He was gone for almost a year! Thankfully he came back to us unharmed!
A big thank you to Zack for serving our country and being so brave...



The big reveal!! Sarah told me that this is the moment she was looking forward to the most. Looks like Zack is pretty excited too!



Sarah looks almost giddy in this one! Love it!







Romantical! Harkness is one of my favorite venues! It's always a treat to go there.



I don't think that this is a situation that happens too often. Sarah is almost a foot shorter than Zack! She should commission someone to design her a fashionable step ladder to carry around for impromptu kisses. This step was perfect for the height difference.


The complete wedding party! Those kids are all of Sarah and Zack's nieces and nephews. I love a wedding with lots of kids! It always add a little excitement to the day. You never know what they are going to do!



Adults only



Such beautiful gardens at Harkness!




Nothing like a leisurely stroll on your wedding day



Adorable!! I love those little feet!



Time for Sarah to get her photo on. How beautiful does she look?! I had high hopes for this wedding. Sarah has such good taste! She did not disappoint.



Daddy's littlest girl (she is the baby of four girls!)



Gorgeous



The ladies taking a walk over to sneak a peek at the reception prep...



Going to the chapel...



This little guy ran right at me! I'm happy to say that he turned into a pew before knocking me over!



The kids did an awesome job!



The other big moment!







The light was perfect in the chapel.



Sarah had a couple of teary moments, but she made it through.






Mr and Mrs T!



We hid off to the side of the chapel for a couple of pics before the big exit. I love these trees!


Taking off in Sarah's father's corvette! He must like Zack! He let him marry his daughter AND drive this sweet car!?



There's Dad looking on. He may be smiling but he's thinking "Don't you scratch it!"
Part 2 is coming at-cha! Stay tuned!
