Guilford Yacht Club Wedding in Guilford, CT | Lindsay & Jack
A COLORFUL GUILFORD YACHT CLUB WEDDING
Lindsay and Jack’s colorful wedding took place at the beautiful Guilford Yacht Club in Guilford, Connecticut. It was an unseasonably warm and sunny spring afternoon with temperatures in the 80s! Lindsay had emailed me about a year ago to inquire about us photographing their wedding, and I could instantly tell we were going to get along. The two of us had a wonderful conversation during our FaceTime chat as she told me all about what she and Jack were planning for their day.
Jack and Lindsay are the epitome of two wildly cool people from Brooklyn. They’re both talented and creative; Jack is a musician and Lindsay has quite the eye for design! When I asked them to describe their wedding, their response was, “We envision the day to be laid back, but lovely,” and it was just that! Their wedding color palette included soft pinks, silvers, and pops of color. 18 disco balls of various sizes hung above the dance floor in between rows of bistro lights. It was a modern and artistic design that I just couldn’t get enough of!
After sharing a first look together off-site, we headed over to the Guilford Yacht Club to finish up the wedding party and family portraits before their ceremony. The sun beat down on all of us and Jack and Lindsay exchanged their rings, said their I Do’s, and shared their first kiss as husband and wife! Friends and family clapped and cheered around the bride and groom as they walked back up the aisle with beaming smiles on their faces!
The Guilford Yacht Club weddings are some of my favorites because this venue has the most spectacular sunsets. We snuck Lindsay and Jack outside for a few minutes during golden hour to snap some newlywed portraits. If I’m being honest, even on cloudy evenings, the light there is particularly dreamy just before the sun dips down below the horizon! After we headed back inside, guests had finished their dinner and it was time to officially start the celebration. Guests danced late into the evening with plenty of excitement for the newlyweds!
THE LOVE STORY
Just over a decade ago, Jack and Lindsay were both living in Washington, D.C. where they met on a dating site. After some emailing and a phone call, Jack asked Lindsay out to dinner, which turned into a wonderful first date. In the first few months of their relationship, Lindsay enjoyed cooking for Jack while the two binge-watched Breaking Bad in her tiny studio apartment. Their love continued to grow and deepen, and after a couple more years of living in D.C., they decided to move to Brooklyn together.
Over the past eight years, Lindsay and Jack built a home together, made new friends, and have thoroughly enjoyed exploring all that New York City has to offer. They’ve supported each other through many life milestones, from switching careers to growing them. During the first few tough months at the beginning of the pandemic, Jack and Lindsay realized how strong their love and partnership are, which lead them to get engaged, and are now married!
Congratulations Lindsay and Jack! Cheers to many happy years ahead!
