Introducing little Kaydence! This adorable girl was such a pleasure to work with. She loved her big flower headbands and snuggling up with her big brother! She even knew how to smile for the camera already. ;) Nothing cuter then some ity bity baby toes.

Kisses from big brother!

Love the zebra stripes!

Every girl needs a set of pearls! :)

A little #throwbackthursday for you this morning! This will always be one of my favorites! <3 #laurynalisaphotography #blushweddingdress #purplewedding

Who here loves a great ring shot?! I am obsessed with Jessica's unique engagement ring! Little fun fact, my own engagement ring is a diamond center stone with a sapphire on each side. So I'm all about a ring with a little pop of color! <3 Every wedding is different and I so love when couples "break the rules" a little bit! What's something unique you had or plan to have as part of your day?? <3 #laurynalisaphotography #weddingring #engagementring #weddingrings #theknotrings

Double tap if you just want to hug a bride and groom when you see them! ✋🏻Oh hey, that's me up there hugging one of my beautiful brides on her wedding day! Yup, I'm the wedding photographer that can't resist giving my couples a huge hug because I'm so happy and excited for them. The best part of what I do is getting to know you and be more than just your wedding photographer. Being there for such an important day and photographing it all is something special. I mean it when I say I want to laugh with you, cry with you, and of course dance with you on your big day! <3 #laurynalisaphotography #weddingdayhugs #lovemyclients #bestjobever (shoutout to my awesome second shooter for snapping this moment!)

These two... Moira and I went to high school together and she is one of the most beautiful people I've ever met, both inside and out. It was so special getting to see her this happy on her wedding day and capture it all for them. I can tell that she's found the perfect partner in Joe and could tell that the rest of their friends and family felt the same! Here's to many years of love and happiness for Mr. and Mrs. Miller! <3 #laurynalisaphotography #happilyeverafter

What's your favorite thing to do in Mystic??? We love it down there and had a great family day today! Spent the afternoon down in Mystic and had lunch and of course a beer at @jealousmonkct! It was our first time there and not only did they have a great selection of beer, but the food was delicious. They are also very family friendly which is a plus. ;) We ended the afternoon with ice cream at our favorite @mysticdrawbridgeicecream! We even got to see the draw bridge go up and the kiddos loved watching the boats go by! Some more reasons to #LoveCT today! <3 So tell me what's your favorite thing to do in Mystic??? #laurynalisaphotography #mystic #ct #familyday #ctfood #ctbites #ctbeer

It’s the little details like this, honoring your grandparents, that make your wedding day truly special. <3 #laurynalisaphotography #bouquet #weddingdetails

You guys, how STUNNING is this chapel that Dustin and Sam were married in?! What made it even more special is that these two met while getting their pharmacy Doctorates right on the college campus that this chapel is part of. The building they met and spent all their time in was right across the green from where they said their vows. I may be a bit of a romantic, but stuff like that just makes me happy! <3 #laurynalisaphotography #weddingceremony #ctweddingvendor #campbelluniversity

Grooms, here's an insider tip... Twirl your bride on your wedding day! This is the only day of her life she'll get to wear a dress like this and twirling around in a big fluffy dress is just fun! <3 #laurynalisaphotography #weddingdress #twirl

Moira and Joe rocked #cornhole on their wedding day and it was so much fun! I traveled to Virginia for their wedding and I love that their venue, @raspberryplainmanor, allowed them to set up some yard games for them and their guests to enjoy! I love when couples incorporate the things they enjoy into their wedding, but I love even more when they actually take the time to enjoy those things on their wedding day! Too often I talk to a couple after they see their photos and they say something like "Oh yeah! I completely forgot we set that up!" or "The favors were so pretty! I didn't even get a chance to look at them!" or "Was the cake good? I didn't get to taste it!". Make it a priority to look around, take it all in, and really see (and enjoy!) this event you worked so hard to plan! One great way of doing this is making sure your venue allows you to see the reception space before letting everyone in to sit down. And please, eat your cake! I promise your guests won't mind. <3 So tell me, did you get to eat cake on your wedding day?! <3 #laurynalisaphotography #yardgames #weddingday #virginiawedding #dcwedding

To say that @chocolaterosebakeshop killed it with this cake would be an understatement! Jessica and Brad's naked cake with a hand piped design was stunning! The flowers and succulents gave it a little pop of color and was the perfect touch. I also loved how their cake topper included so much about them! Brad is a farmer and they live on his family farm. They also have three adorable pups (and one pup up in heaven) who are a huge part of their life! It's the little unique details like this that make something as simple as your cake mean so much more! <3 #laurynalisaphotography #weddingcake #handpiped #succulents #caketopper

I had someone say to me the other day, “Wow you get out a lot!”. I realized compared to most people, that’s probably a true statement. Four years ago my husband, son and I moved away from all of our family and friends down to NC. It was a big and scary decision, but one of the best ones we ever made. We loved Raleigh and the amazing community it had to offer. Since we knew very few people, we made it a point to get out and explore our new city every single weekend. We did everything there was to do, from street fairs and food truck rodeos, to restaurants, parks, and visiting all the adorable little neighborhoods with locally owned shops to explore. We also fell in love with craft beer and frequented the local breweries. When you don’t know a lot of people, you have to put yourself out there and find things to do! Flash forward 3.5 years later and we made another big, scary decision to leave the city we had fallen in love with and move back to Connecticut to be closer to the friends and family we sincerely missed. When we made the decision to move back, I remembered telling Mike that maybe CT has a lot more to offer us, but we just didn’t see it when we were here because we didn’t need to. The whole #shoplocal, #eatlocal, #drinklocal mindset had become a part of our lifestyle in NC and the one thing I knew I wanted to do when we moved back home was to explore Connecticut and all the amazing things it had to offer us. If you follow my Instagram stories at all, you’ll see that we’ve been doing just that. Whether it’s with the kiddos or out on a date night, we’re making it a point to try all the local restaurants, visit all the CT breweries, and get out and enjoy our local community. CT gets a bad rep for some reason but we’re coming to find that there’s a lot to like about this place and a lot of amazing local businesses to support! Leave a comment with your favorite #CTrestaurants #CTbrewery or some other local biz that we have to check out on our next adventure! (PS photo of @witchdoctorbrewing in Southington. Went there this weekend for the first time. The beer is delicious and I fell in love with the space! Can we make #brewerywedding a thing?)

Jessica wore a gorgeous pale blue wedding dress, brad wore navy pants and vest with a yellow, white, and blue plaid shirt. Not only did they look amazing, but everything about their @wrightsmillfarm wedding was so them. You do you on your wedding day. Break all the rules because it's your day and well, that's all that matters! <3 #laurynalisaphotography #rusticwedding #farmwedding #blueweddingdress

Today was probably the Monday-ist of Mondays. It was pouring rain and of course I forgot an umbrella and had to walk four blocks in it. Then I got home and looked at this picture I took of Jessica's stunning bouquet from her wedding on Saturday, and all was right in the world. Maybe that's why I love weddings so much... because I am constantly surrounded by beautiful moments that make even the Monday-ist of Monday's not seem so bad anymore! <3 (Huge shout out to her florist, Xenia Buckley at her husband's family farm, @fourtownfarm!) #laurynalisaphotography #bouquetgoals #succulents #weddingflowers #bouquet

At the beginning of the night on Saturday, Brad took the microphone to make a quick speech. He thanked everyone for being there and then told us all a little story. After being together for 10 years, him and Jessica had seriously considered eloping. In the end, they decided to have a bigger wedding and couldn’t be more happy. Having so much fun with all of their guests made the day even better than they had imagined. I think this is one of the best positives for choosing to have a big wedding. They bring people together. Friends and family from both sides get to come together to celebrate two people they all care about. When the dance floor opens up and you see people from different parts of your life (who probably never met until this day) dancing together to Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling”, well there is no better experience than that! <3 #laurynalisaphotography

Mara's stunning engagement ring made me fall in love with emerald cut diamonds! <3 #laurynalisaphotography #diamond #engagementring #wedding #bling

I think my favorite thing about shooting in New York City is you never take the same photo twice. There is so much beauty to discover in every little corner. Mara and Gary's session took place on Governors Island and we had so much fun exploring this gorgeous piece of the city! If you could take photos anywhere, where would you have your engagement session? <3 #laurynalisaphotography #nyc #engagementphotos #explore

Happy Friday everyone! Ana's bridal party look was so pretty with shades of #purple, and her custom wedding dress was stunning! <3 #laurynalisaphotography #bridalparty #purplewedding

Nothing is better than a bride and groom at sunset. <3 #laurynalisaphotography #sunset #weddingphotography

It's Wednesday night and all day I've been thinking it's Thursday. Oh well, nothing a beautiful bouquet and wedding shoes covered in sparkles can't fix! <3 #laurynalisaphotography #weddingshoes #bouquet #weddingflowers #pink #purple
