Victoria and Michael celebrated their wedding at Aria Wedding & Banquet Facility, one of the top wedding venues in Connecticut (and one of my favorites). We had the honor of capturing both photography and videography for their day, documenting everything from getting ready through the reception.


The day began at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Bristol before we made our way to Aria where both the ceremony and reception would be held. Victoria and Michael shared a first look before the ceremony, giving them a chance to spend a few quiet moments together. This also gave us some extra time for some great bridal party photos around the grounds. The black and white color scheme gave the day a timeless, classic look that photographed beautifully.


Their ceremony took place inside Aria’s elegant chapel before the celebration continued in Ballroom B. Victoria and Mike shared a very special first dance followed by parent dances and speeches. The dance floor got wild and one of their guests offered up their crutches as a dancing prop. It was a lot of fun to capture their party and their entire day was filled with so much love and great energy.


We wrapped the night up with a few dusk portraits of the couple that gave the perfect ending to an incredible wedding day at Aria.
