Ashley & Mike’s Bald Hill Mansion Wedding in Connecticut

I don’t even know where to start with this one. Ashley & Mike are two of the most genuine, hilarious, and true-to-themselves people I’ve ever met, and their wedding at Bald Hill Mansion in Woodstock, Connecticut was an absolute blast from beginning to end.

This is exactly what I want for all of my couples: a day filled with their favorite people, personal touches, belly laughs, and nonstop fun.

Getting Ready at Bald Hill Mansion

Ashley and her bridesmaids got ready in the bright, spacious bridal suite at Bald Hill Mansion, where sunlight poured in through the huge windows. When I walked in, it was already a party; her crew was hilarious, supportive, and knew how to turn pre-ceremony jitters into pure excitement.

Meanwhile, Mike and the guys were (shockingly) chill. A few beers, a few laughs, and they were good to go. Do grooms even get nervous? I’ve yet to see it.

A Garden Ceremony Straight Out of a Fairytale

Their ceremony took place in the gardens, with the stone archway of Bald Hill Mansion as the backdrop. Ashley walked herself down the aisle- a powerful, emotional moment that made me tear up right alongside her.

Watching these two grin at each other the entire time was the absolute sweetest. Their joy was so tangible, and it was clear to everyone that they couldn’t wait another second to be married.

A Reception to Remember

And then, cue the music, it was time for the reception. Their grand entrance was (of course) to September by Earth, Wind & Fire, and it was instantly lit. Their dessert table had everything: a Star Wars cake topper, donuts in every flavor, and enough sugar to fuel the dance floor all night.

Ashley & Mike partied hard with their guests, never leaving each other’s side, and made sure their Bald Hill Mansion wedding really was “the 21st night of September to remember.”

Final Thoughts

Ashley & Mike—thank you for letting me capture your incredible day. Your wedding was fun, emotional, geeky in the best way, and completely you. Couples like you remind me why I love being a Connecticut wedding photographer.
