Merlot on the Water wedding days always feel special, and the wedding of Vy and Vinny reminded us why we love photographing celebrations across Connecticut. This space in Broad Brook sits beside a peaceful waterfront, which gives every ceremony a calm and romantic feel. We enjoy how the indoor areas are warm and modern, and how the outdoor ceremony spot brings in soft natural light that works beautifully for wedding photography. As Hartford photographers, we spend a lot of time exploring different parts of the state, and this location always stands out because it feels inviting, flexible and easy for couples to make their own.
Vy and Vinny have such a fun story. They met through work and bonded over video games, dungeons and dragons and all things nerdy. Their theme was inspired by that shared love, with colors that leaned into deep berry tones. Their vision was moody, fun, energetic and still elegant. Moments like these remind us why we love being a wedding photographer and why wedding photography feels so personal.
When we photograph celebrations like this, we focus on simple storytelling and natural emotion. Our team at Original Weddings works across Hartford and all of Connecticut, giving couples films and photos that feel honest and full of life. Every couple has their own style, and our goal is to show that in a way that feels true to them. We also offer wedding photography packages that fit different needs, and we guide couples through every step so they feel comfortable from start to finish.
Packages are designed to keep things easy, and we share clear prices so couples know exactly what to expect.
