Friendship

I came across this image while designing Meghan and Stephen's Aldrich Mansion StoryBook. I was struck by this look of friendship between the bride and her maid of honor at the end of the night. It says so much about their relationship.

Aldrich Mansion Wedding, Meghan and Stephen

Meghan and Stephen were married at Aldrich Mansion this past Friday. Here are a few "previews" from the day.

Bernadette and Greg

Bernadette and Greg were married on September 9, 2007 at Aldrich Mansion. What a visual delight. It features a unique blend of European artistry and craftsmanship which reflects a bygone era. This was their "American" wedding as they were originally married in Hungary earlier in the year. They were a beautiful couple as you can see from the photos.
