wedding prayer

James + Victoria | Traditional Catholic Wedding | May 27, 2023

It was a beautiful day for a wedding and not just any wedding, but the holy matrimony of James and Victoria. May is the Month of Mary, and we also got married in May, and our son was born in May, so, we like to think it is very divinely timed whenever we get the opportunity to do this work during such an important month.  We are always so honored when we have the privilege to be your hired photography team, especially for such an occasion to be your Catholic wedding photographers here in our home state of Connecticut.

James and Victoria were wed at St. Pius X Parish in Fairfield, Connecticut, joined by the witness of their family and friends. Mass was presided by the notorious Fr. Samuel S. Kachuba (who I recently learned has his own amazing podcast, The Tangent, definitely worth a listen!) . The mass was beautiful, as expected at such a gorgeous parish. It was also extremely reverent and focused on the sacrament. We were grateful to also pray with this couple on their wedding day.

Working with James and Victoria was really such a blessing, from their engagement session, to planning in between, and to their one and only wedding day. From getting ready at Panache Salon, in Shelton, to the end of their reception at the beautiful Tashua Knolls Country Club in Trumbull, Connecticut. Their details were exceptional as well, including a DIY bridal bouquet from Ling’s Moments, and a very sentimental remembrance table in memory of all loved ones who’ve passed on. This was such a wonderful way to celebrate your wedding day while honoring the memories of beloved family members.

Interestingly enough, we were the busiest we’ve ever been in our personal lives, working two jobs each while being stay at home parents too, so delivering their wedding day gallery took a little longer than anticipated, but the results were worth it. One of my favorite moments from their wedding day was during the reception, when James and Victoria invited all their guests to pray together with them (wedding day prayer card pictured below). I am floored with the fact that we get to do this! Without further ado, here are some of my favorite images from their 2023 Traditional Catholic Wedding photography in Connecticut.

Hubbard Park Engagement Photos | Chris + Alivia get married

Meet Chris and Alivia.

They are one of the nicest neighbors I have ever had! They have big hearts, hearts for love; they would always offer me food, and Lord knows, that is the way to my heart. (Tim knows that too haha). This couple also loves God and inspires us with their dedication to each other, being best friends first! They are also so darn cute together. Fun Fact: Chris styled their outfits for their engagement session photoshoot. WIN!

These two had a beautiful Fall wedding reception at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven , and they were blessed with glorious rains! They say it’s good luck, but for us, as Christians, we know that Water is an important symbol of Renewal. So, Chris and Alivia, may everyday be blessed with showers of Renewal, as you continue on your journey of Life together, seeking the Love of Christ first, for God’s Love knows no end. May your Love grow with every day, as you appreciate each other more, and care for each other’s soul, welcoming all of life’s little and big adventures, always together. Amen.

Readers, we hope you enjoy some of our favorite images from Chris and Alivia’s Engagement Photo Session in Hubbard Park, Meriden, Connecticut.
