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.

We have been so blessed this year by all the couples we have photographed- some engaged, some newly married, some married for some time. It never fails to inspire us, when we see a couple, seeking marriage, and loving each other through the journey.

Marriage takes a lot of Grace—patience, forgiveness, and honesty, among many other important traits (like humor). You really need a sense of humor to love an imperfect person! When we had our initial consultation with T+C, we knew we were going to capture some very tender and meaningful moments. They had been married civilly, and wanted some Wedding Portraits to honor and celebrate their first year of marriage! (Now that we are married, we can definitely understand all the more how special this milestone is).

Now, they told us they were very shy, but we soon found out, just how funny they were, and how they made each other laugh so much! It was such a fun wedding portrait photography session, and we are so glad to share our favorites. Their photos were taken at Yale University and East Rock Park, in New Haven, Connecticut.

Please join us in praying for T+C as they continue on their journey of marriage.
