Massacre Survivor William Petit Remarries

(WEST HARTFORD, Conn.) -- Dr. William Petit, the sole survivor of the deadly home invasion that claimed the lives of his wife and two daughters in 2007, has remarried.

Petit, 55, wed photographer Christine Paluf, 34, on Sunday in West Hartford, Conn. A reception was held in Simsbury.

"It was fun," Hayley Hovhanessian of the Petit Foundation told ABC News. She said there were "a ton" of family and friends celebrating the happy day.

Petit and Paluf did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The two got engaged after Christmas in 2011.

Paluf is a professional photographer who specializes in weddings, events and portraits. She also photographs events for the Petit Family Foundation. The pair reportedly met through her photography work for his organization.

Petit's wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and the couple's two daughters, 17-year-old Hayley and 11-year-old Michaela, were killed during a July 2007 home invasion carried out by Steven Hayes and Joshua Komisarjevsky.
