A Wedding Shower

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding shower at Gray Barns in Silvermine, a venue that perfectly blends rustic charm with elegant sophistication. As a photographer, I strive to use my camera to tell a story, capturing the laughter, the intimate moments, and the details that make each event unique. At this shower, the soft natural light streaming through the windows, the joyful expressions of friends and family, and the meticulously arranged decorations all came together to create a tapestry of love and celebration. Through my lens, I aimed to preserve these precious memories, creating a visual narrative that the couple and their loved ones can cherish forever.

I love capturing the details of the event.

Flower arangements were made by the guests and then they could take them home as a gift. Brilliant.

Capturing the feel of the day.

Lots of flowers to arrange.

Story telling with my camera.

Inside Gray Barns.

Candids are always shot unobtrusively.

But sometimes you will mix in a pose.

I like being invited to a fun day.

surprise party at gray barns in silvermine

I was asked to photograph a surprise party at The Gray Barns in the silvermine area of Norwalk. I had photographed the chef here a few years ago for Westport Lifestyle Magazine, so I was very familiar with the restaurant. I actually took my prom date Laurie Hannah to The Silvermine Tavern back in 1982. that is what it was called back then. What a transition this restaurant has gone through. It is quite frankly, gorgeous!

This is the tavern area of the gray barn, it is perfect for small parties.
I call these my “martha stewart ” shots. These are all taken before the party.
pictures were taken of each guest.
then the images were printed and people would leave a message. Brilliant.
