Wedding photos create memories that last a lifetime. Choosing the perfect location to commemorate your special day is one of the most important decisions that you will make when planning your wedding. Connecticut brides and grooms have a multitude of picturesque locales to choose from. The small state of Connecticut has everything from lush forests and turn-of-the century country estates to spectacular waterfront backdrops. Choose a theme for your photos that matches the look and feel of your ceremony and reception. From casual beachfront chic to historic town greens, Connecticut has everything that you need to make your special day unforgettable.
For a classic Connecticut look try the small village of Ivoryton, in the rural county of Essex, Connecticut. The Copper Beech Inn is a beautifully restored Victorian mansion in the heart of traditional Ivoryton. Couples can pose on the majestic winding staircase of this iconic home, or have their picture taken while strolling across the traditional town green past the Ivoryton playhouse, a meticulously renovated, and highly photogenic, structure dating back to 1910.
Located nearby is the Essex steam train. Hop aboard the historic steam train for a round trip ride through the picturesque Connecticut river valley, dinner included. The dinner train special features an ornate dining room reminiscent of a classic 1920s dining car. Both the station and the interior of the train provide a romantic and nostalgic backdrop for your special photos. If you take the train during fall foliage season, the colors will add eye-catching drama to your photographs.
