Angela + Kevin’s wedding took place on the longest day of the year… and the sun was ready to show off! We wound up with the most incredible weather: sunny, clear blue skies with puffy clouds, dry, breezy. It really couldn’t have been nicer, and I can confidently say that these two deserved every moment of beautiful sunshine. The ceremony and tented reception took place on Kevin’s family’s land, a sweeping field high above the…

Nancy + Andrew. How can I describe their delightful day? The relaxed vibe, the friends and family eager to celebrate, the down-to-earth venue, two adorable dogs, and the wildflower theme… it would have been perfect no matter how the weather turned out, but then Vermont truly delivered. On what should have been a dreary day we had early hours of sunshine, a glorious breeze, and dramatic skies that only gave way to rain once everyone…

There are plenty of reasons to select Manchester, Vermont as the location for a wedding, but Julie + Zack have a connection to – and an appreciation for – the small mountain town that goes deeper than most. While Manchester may be packed to capacity during fall foliage, Julie + Zack celebrate all four seasons there, cross-country skiing in the winter, golfing anytime there isn’t snow, visiting family in town, and even getting engaged on…

A warm weather elopement while most of the country is still wrapped up in winter weather gives off a magically happy vibe. Relaxing ocean breezes and swaying palm trees feel positively indulgent, which makes Jupiter a wonderful place to elope. I’m so glad Maresa + Ben wanted me to take their portraits while they were in town to get hitched! We wound up heading down to take a late afternoon walk along the intracoastal on…

Who has the best clients? That’s right: we do. Kristin + Matt are the kind of couple who we want to take home and keep forever (did we just make things weird?), but we’ll settle for spending some very quality time together. What an incredible wedding day! From the sparkling morning sunshine to the tiny sprinkle of rain at dinner (which validated the “tent or no tent” decision), this February wedding at Villa Woodbine in…

Amy + Robert really and truly lucked out with their fall weather! Always unpredictable, Vermont delivered a quintessential autumn day, with crisp blue skies, a blaze of colorful foliage, and blustery winds (the kind that send your veil flying). Their entire day was at the Vermont National Country Club, which overlooks rolling greens with beautiful mountains at the horizon; a wraparound porch and soaring ceilings inside made for an excellent party location, and the side…

Sometimes there are days where everything just feels right! The weather is lovely. The people are kind. The ceremony is touching. The location is perfect. Kelsey + Brendan’s fall wedding at the Inn at Weathersfield was one of those days, and I’m so glad they asked me to join them. Picking favorites from a day like this feels impossible; so many hearty laughs, beautiful settings, perfect details. Where can I even begin? It’s hard to…

Brooke + Corey chose the lovely Inn at Manchester (tucked just off the main road through the center of Manchester, Vermont) for their destination wedding celebration, bringing family and loved ones with them from along the east coast. A bit of a drizzly day kept the ceremony under the barn’s spacious covered patio, but it didn’t stop the party! The skies cleared enough for us to wander the property for some portraits before enjoying dinner…

It’s amazing to see a meticulous plan come together! Megan + Erik’s Vermont wedding unfolded seamlessly on a picture-perfect fall day. While many of our clients escape the confines of New York City in favor of the Green Mountain State for their celebration weekend, these two have their own retreat nestled in the nearby hills. This allowed Megan to get ready at their home with friends and family, setting the tone for a day that…

We first met up with Nina + AJ at the base of Mount Mansfield just before their engagement session. The adventurous spirit that brought us to the top of a 4000′ Vermont peak on that sunny June afternoon was present throughout their entire wedding day. (Of course having Hildene as the background for their Vermont wedding doesn’t hurt!) Nina began her day at the nearby Hill Farm Inn while AJ got ready with family and…

We joined Caroline and Josh in Lake Placid for a weekend full of festivities in late September, and what a celebration it was! An impeccably planned wedding unfolded perfectly; even the weather went according to plan. This was a destination wedding for nearly everyone, and the crisp clean Adirondack air greeted guests who were getting out of the city for a few days to enjoy a BBQ-themed rehearsal dinner, the most intense game of Pictionary…

Hayley + Nick’s beautiful wedding may have had a slightly drizzly start, but the warmth and affection from the people they surrounded themselves with kept smiles on everyone’s faces. We met Haley over a year ago around the corner from their wedding venue… while photographing a different wedding! Manchester, Vermont is a frequent destination for couples coming up from the New York City area, but Hayley and Nick are effectively locals, having a family home…

We’re lucky when it comes to our clients. Really, really lucky. We work with a lot of cool people, a lot of friendly people, and a lot of creative people; sometimes days are wild, sometimes days are beautiful, and sometimes days are calm. Once in a while we have a wedding day where all of these things are combined into a magical mixture, and while those days make our faces hurt from grinning (and we…

Weddings in Vermont sometimes have a special feeling, and Carrie + Will’s was a perfect example. That special feeling is one of relaxation, of joy, of contentment. When the day is simple and the timeline is smooth, and your loved ones can embrace, and laugh, and dance, and enjoy themselves. Mountain Meadows Lodge in Killington, Vermont is a down-to-earth bed and breakfast that makes this feel easy! We loved spending the day with these two…

Who had fun at Claire + Jamis’ wedding? We’ll take a wild guess and say EVERYONE. We certainly did! From the gorgeous setting in scenic Manchester, Vermont to the giant bonfire to close the evening, this wedding was borderline epic from start to finish. While the spring greenery and rolling hills certainly make for lovely images, our very favorite thing was these two and their striking love for each other. Their genuine joy and excitement…

Lauren and Will’s wedding at the Inn at Manchester, a delightful family-owned venue in beautiful Manchester, Vermont, was the perfect way to begin our wedding season up north. Rainy? Sure, but we all saw that coming. Rain is always a possibility for spring weddings, but the love and excitement of their day couldn’t be dampened. Working with these two hardly felt like work; their easygoing attitudes and the clear support and joy from their friends…

A whole year has flown by already? Sounds like it’s time for a visual review of some highlights! We’ve had a busy and adventurous year, filled with a variety of photographic opportunities (work for our corporate clients, wonderful families, portraits of strong and beautiful women, travel and nature photography, not to mention the industry teaching we’ve been doing), but for the sake of keeping this “short” we will focus on our favorite subject: love stories.…

It’s not very often that we begin conversations with future clients like this: “You know, you guys should just elope. Go somewhere awesome. Keep it tiny. Make it yours.” Wait, that sounds weird. Let’s back up. When we first started exploring the idea of expanding to Vermont for the summer/fall wedding season we met fellow photographer Paul Reynolds through Facebook, and he blew us away with his friendly and welcoming nature. (When we later met…

Kristine + Steve met us at one of our favorite Florida locations for a sweet stroll around the lovely Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens for their engagement session. Hailing from NYC, this couple has an incredible wedding day planned for this winter in Miami; we were so happy our schedules aligned so that we could also shoot their engagement session before the big day! Check out a few of our favorites with these two lovebirds…

We always find that meeting clients who have booked us via phone or video chat can be a fun experience; we all wonder, what will they be like when they aren’t confined to my device? We needn’t have worried with Hillary and Greg, who immediately put us ease in their DC neighborhood near Meridian Hill Park. We began their engagement session at the park because it’s so close to their daily lives; we had thought…

When we first met Tara and Kevin at their engagement session last year, we fell in love with both of them. Tara won us over with her genuine sweetness, while Kevin cracked us up like no other client ever has. We figured we would laugh on their wedding day too, but we had no idea how good things would get. More on that in a minute. Weddings at the Hillsboro Club in Hillsboro Beach, a…

From the first moment we spoke with them, Carly and Clay let us know that their vision for their wedding day was centered around family, friends, and fun. The reality of the day matched their vision perfectly, as all three of those things were on full display the entire day. Carly and Clay grew up in South Florida but currently live in the Washington D.C. area, making this both a destination wedding and a return…

Kate + Matt’s beautiful wedding day took place at the Jackson Gore Inn, a property within Okemo Mountain’s vast holdings. The Inn proved to be the perfect place for both bride and groom to get ready in separate suites, with the ceremony a quick golf cart ride away at the Toll Gate Garden, a new ceremony site that is so perfectly suited to a sweet outdoor ceremony that we’re surprised it wasn’t used sooner. Overlooking lovely…

From the moment we met Molly and Jess we knew we were a good fit. From the cats in their sweet country home to the way they made us (and each other!) laugh, to our meet up in the local Norwich Inn pub for hot pretzels and a drink, our relationship felt like one with old friends, not just new clients. We were excited to hear about their close family connections, particularly with their young daughter…

How do we begin to say how much we love working at Hildene? It’s a place that seems untouched by the passage of time, and lets you have a truly old-world feel at a facility with modern conveniences. Working with Nicole (the stellar wedding coordinator on-site) is an added bonus; she cares deeply for all of her wedding clients, and you can really see how much she puts into these events! Many couples choose to…
