The Hopkins Inn

The Hopkins Inn

I can’t tell you how many weddings I’ve photographed at The Hopkins Inn in New Preston Connecticut but this last one gave me an unexpected gift.  I was photographing the bide and groom with their families by a field over looking the lake and I noticed a couple sitting in their camp chairs not too far form where we were shooting.  The idea of photographing the bride and groom in those chairs came to me immediately and I couldn’t get the idea out of my mind.  I approached the couple in the chairs, who as it turned out they were celebrating their 29 wedding anniversary, and they were more than happy to let their chairs be part of our celebration.  We all loved the result.
