The Story Behind Evergreen Farms


One of the things I appreciate most about Evergreen Farms is that it doesn't feel like a wedding factory.


The venue was lovingly transformed by owners Jessica and Michael, who purchased the property and reimagined a former 1950s chicken coop into what is now known as "The Coop." Throughout the property, you can see evidence of their vision and care.

The result is a wedding venue that feels intentional, welcoming, and deeply connected to its roots.


There are plenty of wedding venues that look beautiful in photos. Evergreen Farms feels like a place that was built with people in mind.

And as a photographer, that makes all the difference.

Why I Photographed It This Way



I don't arrive at weddings with a shot list of moments I'm trying to manufacture. I'm not looking for the same photos I took last weekend. What interests me are the things that make this wedding different from every other wedding.

Why Couples Love Evergreen Farms in Dayville, Connecticut



There are many beautiful wedding venues throughout Connecticut. What makes Evergreen Farms stand out is the experience it creates. It's a venue that feels relaxed without sacrificing elegance. It's scenic without feeling overdone. It's thoughtfully designed while still feeling authentic. Most importantly, it gives couples the freedom to be present on one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

As a documentary wedding photographer, that's something I value tremendously. Because years from now, the details will matter.

But the feeling of the day will matter even more. And Evergreen Farms is the kind of place that helps create both.
