outdoor ceremony

Maggie and Kevin, our fellow feline fanatics, tied the knot on a sparkling clear fall day at Hildene earlier this month. Manchester has become a special place for Maggie; Kevin has loved it since he was young, as his family has long had a home practically next door to Hildene’s treelined drive. Family and friends gathered in the historic garden, surrounded by hills hinting at stunning fall foliage; the ceremony was poignantly touching, with emotional…

I joined Katie + Rob for their joyful summer wedding celebration at the Inn at Manchester, a sweet country inn nestled in the town of Manchester, Vermont. The day started off with a torrential downpour just as I arrived into town, but the storm quickly moved off and left behind beautiful blue skies and warm sunshine! Family and friends witnessed their heartfelt ceremony (complete with a retelling of how they met while at college together)…

Spending the day with Ashley + Joe at the 1824 House in Waitsfield was like a breath of fresh air. (How is the weather always so beautiful in this little town?) I loved their intimate wedding celebration; their personalized touches (handmade paper flowers and garlands made from scripts from the theater where they both worked and green lighting gel material) pulling pieces of their love story into the physical decor; their adorable fur-baby Watson, an…

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…

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…

You may remember Melissa + Ian’s engagement session from last summer; it was photographed at the same location as their wedding, which was a great way to prep for what we all wanted to do for wedding day portraits! Weddings at Aloha Camp are slightly less common than nearby Camp Ohana, which overlooks Lake Fairlee, but given Melissa’s personal and family connections to Aloha it was the obvious choice for such an important day in…

Update: we’ve added the back blog posts! They’re back-dated so they appear in order. We’ll leave this post up because we kinda love seeing all of these images together. :-) We know. We’ve been neglecting our blog for months. We had an incredible season working in Vermont (yes, we’re local there in the summer and fall now!) and we can’t wait to share some of our favorite images. Here are a few favorites to tide…

Nicole + Mike’s wedding at the Seagate Country Club in Delray Beach, Florida was a day full of smiles and laughs, with sparkling Floridian sunshine making the day glitter and shine. Nicole got ready with her bridesmaids and family at the Seagate Hotel just a few miles away in downtown Delray Beach; Mike got ready with his guys on site at the Seagate Country Club, where they have plenty of space and a full bar…

One of our favorite South Florida wedding venues is the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. The unique surroundings, the opportunity for varied and natural portraits, and the modern, outdoor ceremony and reception locations are perfectly suited for our style of photography. Jackie + Sean chose to have their wedding ceremony and celebration at the Morikami after getting ready at Jackie’s childhood home and a nearby hotel. The day started off threatening and rainy, with sudden…

This lovely wedding at Highland Manor, in Apopka, Florida, was blessed with idyllic weather and a combination of emotional family members, an excited couple, and a lovely location. Highland Manor is perfectly situated for a wedding that can take place at one location, with tastefully decorated getting ready spaces for both bride and groom, an updated ballroom with modern catering capabilities, a beautiful wooden bar for cocktail hour, and several lovely outdoor ceremony sites. Tara…

Nicole + Weston’s wedding day was predicted to be a rainy one, but miraculously the rain held off until every guest was inside the brand new reception hall at the Jupiter Country Club in Jupiter, Florida. (On a side note, we love shooting everywhere our clients take us… but it’s kinda fun having only a five minute drive home at the end of a long party!) Nicole is an event planner, so every detail was planned perfectly,…

Going into Alex + Jared’s Palm Beach destination wedding we knew that they were drawing people from all over the United States and beyond. Friends and family came from Boston, New Hampshire, California, and Alex’s grandparents flew from nearby (ha!) Romania. (They were a delight.) Some flew in for New Year’s Eve celebrations a few days before the big day, some flew in for the rehearsal, and some were delayed on their way back out…

We love what we do. We honestly feel that we have the best job in the world; we meet great people and get to be creative during an incredibly beautiful and emotional time in their lives. Overall we tend to book clients who we’d be friends with, so we’re generally really happy campers! Then once in a while we get a couple like Nicole + Scott who make us remember just how lucky we are.…

We knew from the moment we met Melanie + Alex that they were going to have a fun wedding… and we probably should have guessed after shooting their engagement session that they were going to look amazing as bride and groom! After a really rainy week everyone was relieved to see the forecast for Saturday; sunny and dry. It was hot (this is Florida, after all), but a refreshing breeze kept the temperature at bay.…

We joined Cindy + Alan for their weekend of wedding celebrations in Key West. The weather was warm, but a refreshingly brisk breeze held a hint of fall, even in this beach setting. Cindy got ready at the Hyatt before their waterfront ceremony, where close friends and family gathered and Alan’s daughter and son served as maid of honor and best man. After portraits around the Hyatt property, everyone waved goodbye to Cindy + Alan…

What a perfect seaside wedding! We joined Ali + Chris for their wedding ceremony and celebration at the Vero Beach Hotel + Spa, where they tied the knot surrounded by family and friends. The day was hot (September in Florida tends to be!), but things cooled off a bit as the evening went on, with the ocean breeze blowing in from the water just steps away. We loved all the personal touches this happy couple…

Julie + Brian planned one of the most laid back, relaxing weddings we’ve been to… but how could it be anything but relaxing at a beautiful resort in the US Virgin Islands? We joined the happy couple and a small group of close family and friends for a weekend celebration of Julie + Brian’s love and marriage at the Sugar Bay Resort + Spa on St. Thomas. The weather looked threatening leading up to the…

Saturday was one of those spring days in Florida where the weather looked threatening, with looming clouds and spitting rain… but despite everything managed to hold off for Krista + Mark’s elegant wedding celebration at the Seagate Beach Club in Delray Beach. (Click below for more of Krista + Mark’s wedding day!)

Margot and Jeff celebrated their marriage with close family and friends last weekend at the elegant Home Hill Inn, in Plainfield, New Hampshire. We flew up for the festivities and had an amazing time– every time we turned around there was another amazing handmade detail to photograph, and laughter and friendly smiles were everywhere.

Wow, did we have a hard time narrowing down our favorites on this wedding!  What an amazing day! We only just returned from our trip back from New Hampshire, Vermont and New York on Thursday, so we’ve been burying ourselves in work since then.  A funny coincidence about this wedding: we had originally planned our wedding for the same date at the same venue.. and then decided to move our own celebration to a year…

Jessica and Ian were married on the 23rd of May at Rockledge Farm in Weathersfield, Vermont.  It was a perfect late spring afternoon, sunny and warm… the weather couldn’t have been better!  We had a great time celebrating with Jessica & Ian and their families, and came home with so many great images.
