How They Met

Matt and Sarah met briefly at his sister’s 30th birthday dinner. They met again in November 2014 at a restaurant called Colony Grill in Fairfield, CT. A group of colleagues from work went out and Matt joined them afterwards. A week later, they went on their first date together and three more over the course of the next three days. Sarah and Matt both say they don’t know when they “knew” because there wasn’t one moment – they just made sense together. Matt said he knew very early, even as early as the night they first met that they had a strong, natural connection. “Rarely do I feel as comfortable and at ease with someone as early as I did with Sarah. We felt like old friends from Day 1.”

Extra Special Details

The couple chose the game jenga to use as their guest book while their seating cards hung on old window frames for the guests to find their table assignments.

The Photographer’s Advice

♥ Consider doing an unplugged wedding. It’s so nice to see the faces of the guests in the crowd that are not obstructed by electronic devices.

♥ If you are a shy bride, groom or couple that do not like doing pictures with guests lingering, consider doing a first look. This allows for some alone time with your photographer before guests begin to arrive.

♥ Consider a wedding coordinator or day of coordinator, especially if your venue doesn’t have one. They help keep the structure of the day and handle many of the tedious tasks that keep everything flowing smoothly.

♥ The last thing any bride should be doing is worrying about who’s where and when on time and what goes where.

Money Matters

$20,000 – $45,000
