Ryan & Jamie were married on September 22nd – the first day of fall. It was a gorgeous day with a gorgeous backdrop at the Waveny House in Connecticut. Jamie, a shoe designer , and Ryan, a cartoonist, were married with a wedding full of elegance and simplicity. Their wedding was nothing short of romantic with a simple ceremony and a first kiss as husband and wife that seemed to last forever. The gardens that surrounded Waveny House were perfect for them to get lost in and have a few moments to themselves before a fun reception – with one of the funniest Best Man toasts I’ve ever heard and a rocking dance floor!

Thank you to Caroline Frost for letting me tag along with you and Jackie.
