I’m thrilled that Tom and Meg’s beautiful Connecticut wedding is my first ‘wedding’ post of 2012… and I am honored to introduce the extremely talented husband and wife team of Michelle Gardella Photography, who specialize in eco-chic, bohemian-beautiful, DIY celebrations of love. “First Looks are really, really awesome. Everyone should seriously consider having a First Look.  Meg and Tom had theirs on the steps of the Connecticut Capital Building and it could not have been more perfect!” –Michelle.
