Sidnie and Andrew

Saint Clements Castle and Marina Portland, Connecticut

We first met Sidnie and Andrew on their wedding day since they live in Virginia! I knew from the second I walked into Sidnie’s AirBNB, it was going to be an epic day! From dancing continuously to Espresso, having an emotional support chicken, being drop-dead gorgeous (inside and out) and everyone being super fun and sociable, it truly was!

Julia had the same exact fun time with the guys at the hotel. Chick-fil-a was served, there was a giant big head and shots to be had. We both also loved seeing both parties arrive to St. Clements Marina in party buses, dancing like crazy again.

The hot summer day was so much fun! There was so much love, silliness, laughter (Sid’s maid of honor is going to be in my wedding party by hire because she’s so friggen amazing and hilarious), great toasts and the dancing was off the charts!!!

We LOVE Sidnie and Andrew!!!! It was literally one of the most fun weddings. I’m also really digging the giant cat and people heads at weddings now.

Congratulations, Sidnie and Andrew!

Thank you for your service, Andrew.

All our love,
