A Gilded Age Fairytale
There’s something undeniably magical about a wedding held at Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown, Connecticut. From the moment you turn down the long tree-lined drive, you’re transported into a world that feels straight out of the Gilded Age — an era when grand estates, formal gardens, and refined elegance defined what it meant to celebrate life’s most beautiful moments.

We were honored to capture The Charlow Wedding at this stunning venue — providing photography, film, and cinematic video coverage for a day that was every bit as timeless and romantic as the mansion itself.
