The cover featured gloves by Carolina Amato , jewelry by Haute Bride and Tejani and a beautiful headpiece by Satya Twena.
As the inspriation for the shoot had a vintage vibe to it, Candice Coppola of Jubilee Events- the genius behind the shoot design-  and I had the brainstorm to shoot at historic locations throughout our state capital, Hartford.

Classic Elegance
We shot in two different locations on the first day- The Old State House and The Society Room. Both are beautiful locations for a wedding and reception. The vintage car provided by Carriage Limo was the ultimate accessory for this shoot!
