Pinecroft Estate in Thompson, CT, set the perfect stage for Alex and Josh’s intimate and fun-filled wedding. This beautiful, rustic venue, with its charming barns and cozy atmosphere, was the ideal backdrop for a day that was both personal and lively.


A unique and heartwarming touch to the ceremony was the couple’s four beloved dogs, who played a significant role in the day. These furry friends not only joined in the festivities but also walked down the aisle to the tune of “Who Let the Dogs Out,” bringing smiles and laughter to everyone present.


Alex stunned in a blush-colored dress and Josh looked dapper in his tan suit, that perfectly complemented the rustic vibe of the venue. They took some memorable photos with Josh’s 1988 Porsche, their dogs, and all around the beautiful grounds of Pinecroft Estate. Later, Alex changed into a second dress, ready to hit the dance floor, where the party truly came to life.


The wedding was rich in personal touches. The dark green tables adorned with books created a unique and charming theme, while the vibrant flowers added pops of color that beautifully enhanced the setting. The wedding party was full of energy, and the dance floor was packed with guests who enjoyed every moment of the celebration.


Alex and Josh’s wedding was a perfect blend of intimacy and fun, with every detail reflecting their personalities and love for each other—and, of course, their dogs. It was a day filled with laughter, dancing, and memories that will be cherished by all who attended.
