Brandie + Brian: A summer wedding at Eolia Mansion, Harkness Park

The forecast for Brian and Brandie’s wedding day? 100% chance of rain. What we got? A gorgeous blue sky summer day at Harkness Park, with sweeping views of the Long Island Sound waterfront with ferries passing by. We also got a beautiful bride arriving by horse and carriage, attended by the dreamiest of bridesmaids as they created a new family together with a smiling groom and his sons.Harkness_Eolia_Summer_wedding_AnnaSawinPhotography_001 Harkness_Eolia_Summer_wedding_AnnaSawinPhotography_002
