Dana & Brendan | Intimate Wedding at Natirar

A Classic Summer Estate Wedding

Amid the wedding rush of 2021, Dana and Brendan pulled off something extraordinary. Their wedding came together relatively quickly, and the result was a super-elegant and intimate Thursday event at Christ the King Church in New Vernon with a reception at Natirar. Whether Dana and Brendan felt any anxiety about their big day, I never knew it – the whole day came-off as peaceful and entirely beautiful.

I loved the church – it doesn’t get more classic than Christ the King. When scrolling through the church photographs, be sure to notice Dana’s blusher veil. Not many brides choose the blusher veil anymore. It’s such a simple touch, and it makes the photographs in the church instantly classic.

Dana and Brendan were really lucky – they got Natirar at its best! The day presented just the right amount of passing clouds to soften the late-summer sun and show off the surrounding view to superb advantage. We also made extensive use of Natirar’s architectural details in Dana and Brendan’s photographs, aided by the historic Rolls Royce for shots of the front façade. And, of course, Dana and Brendan look absolutely fantastic in their couples portraits set again the dramatic vista on Natirar’s back lawn!

I love Dana and Brendan’s photographs for what they do so well – show-off the beautiful day, people and venue to maximum advantage. The setting and conditions were so perfect that they result is similar to what a photographer can achieve at a styled-shoot, when they maintain total control over the environment and conditions. Congratulations to Dana and Brendan on a perfectly beautiful wedding!!
