Litchfield County, Connecticut Wedding Photography

Robin and Pete said “I do” on a warm Fall day at Geer Mountain Farm located in Kent, Connecticut. They were joined by an intimate group of their closest friends and family. Geer Mountain Farm provides the perfect location for a lakeside ceremony and poolside or barn cocktail hour. The intimate feel of this Connecticut wedding venue is perfect for a micro wedding day.

This day began with Robin getting her hair and makeup done with her bridesmaids and flower girl in the main house. Her soon to be husband, Pete was with his groomsmen and ring bearer in the guest house getting on their suits and pinning their boutonnières.

As their friends and family began to arrive the sun rose over the top of the trees and provided beautiful natural lighting at their ceremony site in front of the lake. Guests found their seats and the ceremony began. Pete and Robin invited some of their family members to join them in a unity sand ceremony with them. It was such a sentimental moment during their wedding day to show the joining of two families into one.

As the sun began to set Robin and Pete carefully climbed into a canoe and paddled out onto the lake and we captured studding wedding day photos in the canoe. What a unique moment to share together in their first moments as husband and wife.

The day transformed into an evening of dancing, amazing food, and laughter surrounded by great company. Having an intimated wedding day with 30 of their closet friends and family allowed the Robin and Pete to mingle and spend time with each of their weddings guests.

As the night began to wrap up they met their loved ones in the field for a sparkler exit and the bride and her wedding party jumped into the pool together.

Some words from the bride and groom:

“We met through an online dating site in Sept 2016. Pete messaged Robin first but she replied back saying “sorry you seem great but you live too far away”, luckily Pete responded by telling her he didn’t mind making the long drive. 3 days later we had our first date at The Monkey Farm in Old Saybrook, CT. After that Pete drove from Enfield to Old Saybrook every Friday night to pick Robin up then back on Sunday afternoon since she can’t drive due to vision loss.

Every weekend was a fun adventure exploring breweries, vineyards, markets and traveling. Robin’s dog Logan also fell in love with Pete just as much as she did. 3 years after the first date we moved in together. Pete proposed in 2020 in Moosehead Lake, ME. when he took her out sunrise fishing on a little fishing boat in front of Mount Kineo on the perfect calm, beautiful morning.

We are excited about all the travels and fun adventures we have ahead. We both love exploring bee destinations and are especially excited for our honeymoon to Exuma, Bahamas in April. We can’t wait to swim with the pigs! We will also be going on our 3rd annual trip back to Moosehead and hope that tradition continues every July.”

“Our wedding weekend was absolute perfection. The location, venders, weather, food, etc were all incredible. Every single detail came together magically for us and our guests. So many of our guests told us it was truly the best wedding they had ever attended. Our event was a perfect blend of elegance and relaxed fun. From the ceremony, beautiful cocktail hour with the harpist, canoeing while a drone flew filming overhead, taking photos snuggling in the hammock, dancing our butts off, sparklers, the cops making an appearance, to the hilarious pool jump -there were so many laughs and happy tears. We will never get tired of talking about the fun we had and the love we felt that weekend at Geer Mountain Farm.

We had 30 guests but it truly felt like the energy of 150. The intamacy gave us the time to spend with everyone.

The weather couldn’t have been any better-the best weekend all year. We had been so nervous about it not cooperating and were so grateful it was on our side that whole weekend!”

“All of our venders came together so incredibly to help in making every detail work flawlessly. We wish we could relive our wedding weekend every year because it was baying our wildest dreams! Thank you for documenting it in such a beautiful way for us to treasure forever.”
