Nadia and Mike

Heavitree Bed and Breakfast Griswold, Connecticut

I met Nadia and Mike on a gorgeous day at Devil’s Hopyard. I knew they were going to be an absolute dream to work with since they were up for actually going in the water at the end (in the waterfall) and they didn’t care at all about the rain that came through. They were so much fun and their love was just so sweet to capture T

Fast forward to their autumn wedding day. They picked the dreamiest location, Heavitree B&B. This place is a photographer and historian’s dream. I have no words for how absolutely gorgeous and perfect Heavitree is. Every antique, candle and the charming owner, Charlotte, make it the quite possibly the greatest place on earth. We were lucky enough to also get to work with Antonio that day. I love him so much and wish I could work with him always. He’s literally my new favorite human on earth.

Mike and Nadia’s wedding day was packed full of New England autumn colors, a full harvest moon and their pup, Luna (see my reels for how much I love Luna). Mike’s son, Wyatt, was also there, having a blast with pretty much anything in sight. He was too cute!!!

Nadia and Mike’s vision for a charming, romantic wedding was a fairytale. Their romance and chemistry is prevalent to anyone that meets them. I also love how they’re both always smiling. They’re such happy and grateful people and together, their happiness shines even brighter.

When Mike first saw Nadia during their first look, it was what every girl dreams of seeing on her wedding day. He was overcome with emotion. I love how much these two love one another. They are what love is truly about.

We’re so lucky to have such wonderful, kind, down-to-earth and completely perfect clients. I pinch myself sometimes when we meet people like Nadia and Mike. Like how can we be so lucky?

Congratulations to this gorgeous, kind, thoughtful and adorable couple. I love watching their adventures on social media! Right now they’re honeymooning in Croatia (um how amazing is that!?!)!!! I cannot wait to see them again someday (Luna too…it’s a must) and hopefully Wyatt!!

We are overcome with joy for the two of you!

All our love!
