Once upon a very rainy day in June I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of our Connecticut Senator, Jonathan Harris & Lucy Morin under the perennial garden pagoda in Elizabeth Park. It was an honor to photograph this man I have voted for throughout the years and happily find out that his approachable, real, and friendly nature is still intact.
It was rose weekend and it had been raining for days but the roses were in full bloom. Lucy's wish was to get married among the roses and the beautiful gardens there. She arrived beaming with smiles and positive energies and did not let the rain dampen her spirits or her plan.
She and Jonathan were troopers with umbrellas and they were quickly joined under the pagoda by their families. We all got pretty close under that pagoda...but we stayed dry!
With me that day was my sister Ann, who helped me with my gear, kept me grounded and even picked up my other camera with my big zoom. The close quarters under the pagoda was no place for my killer zoom but she managed to catch some candid action from the sidelines. Thanks Ann!

Little bridesmaids.
The lovely bride, Lucy.

Standing up for Jonathan is Lucy's son.
And here's one of Ann's shots from the sidelines. Sweet!
Whew.....a job well done.
A congratulations for Uncle Jonathan?
Details were caught in a quick and candid fashion. Everything happened pretty quickly during a break in the downpours. 
Right after the ceremony there was a break in the rain and some beautiful butter light of sunset sneaked through the clouds for a second or two. We got about 8 minutes out in the rose garden for some shots before the rain started up again. But we got there!
My personal highlights from the wedding.......every time he looked at her. He is smitten!
CONGRATULATIONS JONATHAN & LUCY.
AND.....a special thanks to my photographer friend Craig for referring me!
