Genevieve and Gary’s February wedding at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills in Middletown, CT, was nothing short of magical. With its rustic charm, twinkling lights, and snow-dusted grounds, this venue provided the perfect backdrop for their love story. As New Jersey wedding photographers, we at Red Bank Studio were honored to document every heartfelt moment of their day.


Getting Ready at Marriott Courtyard Hartford Cromwell

The morning began with excitement as Genevieve prepared with her bridesmaids at Marriott Courtyard Hartford Cromwell. The soft morning light streaming through the windows set the stage for stunning detail shots of her wedding invitation, bridal shoes, and rings. Meanwhile, Gary and his groomsmen shared laughs while getting ready in a nearby suite. Both were surrounded by love, laughter, and anticipation for the day ahead.


A Traditional Ceremony at Saint Sebastian in Middletown, CT

At 1 PM, guests gathered at Saint Sebastian Church for a heartfelt ceremony. The grand architecture and warm candlelight created an intimate atmosphere as Genevieve walked down the aisle. The couple exchanged vows in a 45-minute Catholic ceremony, featuring two beautiful readings and a meaningful homily. Three adorable ring bearers added a sweet touch, making the moment even more special.
