If you are searching for a Hartford, Connecticut wedding photographer who captures weddings with a documentary, storytelling approach, Lauryn and Eric’s wedding day is a perfect example of what that experience looks like. Their October 4, 2025 wedding at The Pub House in Bushnell Park was heartfelt, intentional, and filled with moments that felt straight out of a dream. From getting ready at The Goodwin Hotel to celebrating in the heart of downtown Hartford, every part of their day reflected who they are and the love they share.
A Connection That Was Meant to Be
This story truly feels like God working from day one.
Back in June, I was about to hop on a plane to Connecticut to photograph another wedding when Lauryn and Eric sent in an inquiry. They ended up grabbing my very last available date that weekend for their engagement session. From the moment we connected, it was clear that this was a photographer and couple match made in heaven.
Their engagement session that June set the tone for everything that followed. We laughed, explored, and created images that felt effortless and true to them. By the time their wedding day arrived, it felt like reconnecting with old friends.
Getting Ready at The Goodwin Hotel
The morning of the wedding began at The Goodwin Hotel in Hartford, a stunning space that provided the perfect mix of modern elegance and warmth. Lauryn poured her heart into every detail of the day, and it showed. Watching her vision come together was incredibly special.
From quiet moments of anticipation to joyful laughter with loved ones, the getting ready portion of the day was filled with emotion. These are the moments I live for as a photographer. The in-between, the nerves, the excitement, and the calm before everything unfolds.
A Dream Wedding at The Pub House in Bushnell Park
Lauryn and Eric’s ceremony and celebration at The Pub House in Bushnell Park felt intimate and full of life. Nestled in one of Hartford’s most iconic green spaces, the setting was both romantic and timeless.
As a photographer, it is always a blessing to work with couples who trust you completely and give you full creative freedom. That trust is where the real magic happens. Lauryn and Eric allowed me to document their day exactly as it unfolded, focusing on genuine emotion, candid interactions, and meaningful details.
From the ceremony to the celebration, every part of the day reflected their love, their people, and the care Lauryn put into designing a wedding that felt like a true dream.
Why Trust Makes All the Difference
When couples trust their photographer fully, it opens the door to honest storytelling. Instead of forcing moments, we allow them to happen naturally. That is when photos stop feeling staged and start feeling like memories you can step back into.
From every FaceTime call across the country to sending them their final gallery, working with Lauryn and Eric was such a gift. Thank you both for allowing me to be part of your day and for trusting me with something so meaningful.
Lauryn and Eric, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me with such a sacred and joyful day. From our very first connection to your engagement session and all the way through your wedding day, working with you both has been an absolute gift. Your love, your trust, and the way you show up for each other made photographing your story feel effortless and deeply meaningful.
