Noah & Erica’s Modern Fall Wedding at The Loading Dock in Stamford, Connecticut

Erica & Noah were married at The Loading Dock in Stamford, Connecticut on a lovely Saturday in October. I started the day with Erica’s getting ready process and my assistant photographer was meanwhile capturing Noah and his father, who got to hang out in the game room for a bit after getting dressed. After a sweet first look I took them outside for some portraits. The location of The Loading Dock has an industrial feel, so we utilized a brick building, an actual loading dock, and some greenery I spotted a short walk downhill from the parking lot. For the family groups we set up some lighting in the ceremony space so I could shoot the groups with the lovely floral Chuppah behind them. They had a quick rehearsal and then we gathered around a table for their Ketubah signing, which was a beautiful handmade document by Risa Aqua. Their ceremony was so lovely and moving– the Rabbi told the story of how they met and Erica and Noah exchanged vows they had written themselves. After breaking the glass and making it official, guests were treated to a cocktail hour and were then led into the reception space for dinner and dancing. The food looked amazing, as is always the case at Abigail Kirsch events, and highlights of the evening included the wonderful toasts from parents– Noah’s dad even played us an excerpt of a tape recording of a charming conversation with Noah from when he was a child! This crowd had a great time dancing thanks to the fantastic band and they even got one of the guests up there to play the saxophone on “Rosalita!” I so enjoyed capturing this wonderful wedding– Congratulations to Erica & Noah!
