Burr Homstead Wedding in Fairfield, CT | Haley & Rob

A BURR HOMESTEAD WEDDING

Haley and Rob’s summer wedding celebration at Burr Homestead in Fairfield, Connecticut was an absolute DREAM! It may have been a humid July day, but a beautiful wedding filled with plenty of personal details, plus a fantastic couple, made it easy for Arturo and me to forget about the muggy weather. Arturo and I had photographed Rob and Haley’s engagement session at Burr Mansion earlier this spring, and within the first 5 minutes we spent with them that day, we knew their wedding was going to be one for the books!

We started our afternoon off at the Delamar Southport where the bride and groom were getting ready with the members of their wedding party. After exchanging gifts and sentimental love notes, Rob and Haley got dressed and were ready to get married! Their wedding ceremony took place at the same church where Haley’s parents got married, one of the many special details of their day. Once the two had exchanged their vows and rings, they were pronounced husband and wife! Haley and Rob shared their first kiss and walked back up the aisle as friends and family cheered and clapped around them. The entire church was filled with joy and excitement!

After finishing family portraits at the church, we headed to Southport Harbor with Haley, Rob, and their wedding party for more photos. This area of Southport has always been one of my favorites for wedding and engagement portraits, and once again, it served us well! Even better, Rob and Haley know the owner of one of the houses that overlooks the harbor, and he was gracious enough to let us use his front porch for a few photos of the bride and groom. Photographing their newlywed portraits was certainly one of the highlights of our day because Haley and Rob have an incredible chemistry!

Just when I thought their day couldn’t get any better, Arturo and I stepped under the tent at Burr Homestead to begin photographing the reception details. Over the past year, I had seen Haley share plenty of wedding inspiration on her Instagram stories, and it was such a treat to finally see her vision come to life! Wicker rattan pendant lights wrapped in greenery hung over the dance floor, making quite the design statement. The blue water goblets at each place setting matched the blue floral napkins that accompanied them. However, my favorite detail of all was the all-white wedding cake finished off with Haley and Rob’s monogram on the top tier!

The new Mr. and Mrs. were celebrated well into the evening with heartfelt toasts and endless dancing. Their day is certainly one we’ll remember for years to come. Congratulations Haley and Rob! Cheers to many lovely years ahead!

I loved Haley’s bridal style! It was classic and timeless with just a bit of a modern touch.

Rob looked dapper as ever in his blue suit!

They’re MARRIED!

We had a great time with this fun bunch!

We adore this sweet couple!
