COURTNEY & BRIAN

Tourterelle Restaurant & Inn | New Haven, Vermont Wedding Celebration

Courtney & Brian’s wedding plans got derailed last year not only because of COVID but also with their venue catching on fire. But nothing can stop these two, they are absolutely champions in my book.

Their wedding day dreams may have looked a little different but they still managed to pull off two beautiful events. Last year they said ‘I do’ at The Middlebury Inn (see their blog post here) and this year they had a larger celebration at their original venue.

Courtney & Brian are seasoned pros when it comes to being in front of my camera. We met for their Stowe engagement session in the fall of 2019, then I captured their intimate ceremony in 2020 with just their immediate families and again this year for their party. I have loved every second of getting to know these two!

Courtney & Brian, I wish you nothing but the best for your future’s together. Congratulations!

ALEX & ADAM

MAQUAM BARN & WINERY | MILTON VERMONT WEDDING

“And even after Alex moved for her first teaching position, THAT guy Adam kept showing up” Kelsey, Alex’s college roommate and best friend said as Alex and Adam looked at each other as if they were the only ones in the room. We were all in awe.

Adam and Alex have always and will always show up for one another. No matter what. From Adam meeting Alex’s family with two black eyes, to buying and creating a beautiful home together to everything in between. One thing is immensely clear, nothing will stop these two from giving each other a life full of love and happiness.

That bond. That admiration and that respect was evident in every moment, every stolen kiss and every smile. From the first look, to the heartwarming five promises they shared in front of all their closest families and friends, all the way to Adam’s unbelievable performance on the drums to open up the dance floor, there was nothing but endless love and contagious joy.

From the moment I met Alex, I could tell that she was one of the kindest, sweetest, most thoughtful people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Adam was just as kind, just as sweet and just as thoughtful. They both have that thing that just draws people to them, no wonder their wedding party was one of the biggest ones I have ever photographed!

With Alex being Kelsey’s best friend, I knew I had big shoes to fill. I knew that this wedding was special. This couple was special. All they wanted was to celebrate their wedding day with the people they love the most. They finally had their wedding dreams come true. They finally had everyone under one roof and no two people ever looked so happy. 

Individually, Alex looked like a vision in her bridal gown and Adam looked like he just walked out of GQ magazine, but together they were the perfect fit in every way. If it was up to me, I would have kept them out capturing couple portraits for hours and hours in the gorgeous Vermont vineyard but I knew that being with their friends and family was the most important thing to them. I knew that they wanted to live in the moments they would cherish forever. 

It was more than just a wedding between two people, it was an electric celebration for everyone involved. The dance floor was going all night long! As I was dancing around the dance floor myself, I couldn’t help but think, “WOW!” I was truly blown away by everyone there. I felt like I wasn’t just their photographer, but a part of the family.  Honestly, I couldn’t have been more honored to not only capture Alex and Adam’s wedding day, but also witness it. 

Alex and Adam, I wish you nothing but a life full of laughter, happiness, dancing, drum sessions and promises that make you laugh, cry and smile all at once. Cheers to you!

While it rained on their wedding day last fall, Nicole & Shawn lucked out with the most incredible weather this past weekend for their wedding celebration! How lucky am I that I got to photograph these two for a THIRD time - not just for engagement photos & their ceremony, but back again at Stratton for their cocktail hour & reception. The way these two light up when they look at each other makes me job so easy!

Congratulations Nicole & Shawn! Thank you for having me along for your love story.

AMELIA & TIM

STRATTON MOUNTAIN RESORT | SOUTHERN VERMONT WEDDING

I first met Amelia & Tim when they came up to Burlington for their engagement session last summer with their dog Hazel. We grabbed a beer at Zero Gravity and chatted about how thankful they were to be celebrating their wedding in 2021 despite all the 2020 postponements. And boy did they celebrate - their guests showed up ready to PARTY and it was the most fun I have seen on the dance floor in a long time.

Amelia & Tim are truly best friends. I loved the way they genuinely had so much fun together with their families and wedding party. From the cutest flowers girls, the most charismatic toasts, and the sweetest mother-son dance, these two danced the entire night away together.

Amelia & Tim, I wish you both nothing but the best for your future’s together - congratulations!

BETHEL, VT | OUR LADY OF THE ANGELS CHURCH, RANDOLPH, VT | BARNARD INN

When Meghan’s Mom first reached out to me for wedding photography back in 2019, I was totally honored. The first thing she mentioned was that my Dad was their DJ at her wedding now 35 years ago! I absolutely love connections like this, one of the many reasons Vermont is just the best.

Meghan & Matthew said ‘I do’ with an intimate ceremony at their local church, followed by a small reception & dinner at the quaint Barnard Inn. It was classy, elegant and sentimental in all the best ways. And ended up being the perfect day for this incredible couple! Matthew got ready at his parents house in Bethel, Vermont with Meghan just down the road preparing in their home - which used to be his grandparents.

Every aspect of their day was thoughtful, unique & all around beautiful. I could tell from the moment I walked in the door that family means the world to both of them. You could feel the joy throughout the entire day as these two families turned into one.

Meghan & Matthew, I wish you nothing but the best for your future’s together and cannot wait to continue the celebration with an even bigger party next year!

OLIVIA & JAKE

TOPNOTCH RESORT | STOWE, VERMONT

Olivia & Jake's gorgeous wedding day at Topnotch Resort was the perfect way to officially kick off my 2021 season. Olivia looked absolutely stunning in her elegant bridal gown (w/ pockets!) and the two of them just radiated so much joy together. There were many happy tears from the first look to their ceremony over looking the mountains.

The day had finally come. Olivia & Jake were getting married. I could feel the excitement and happiness coming from Jake as he anticipated their first look. Not to mention that he was simply gushing over Olivia all. day. long. Their niece and nephew *almost* stole the show as the cutest flower girl and ring bearer but it's safe to say everyone had eyes on Olivia when she walked down that aisle.

There were countless meaningful details woven into their wedding day but my favorite was their Chuppah - built out of birch trees from where Olivia grew up, made by her Dad, her Uncle, & Jake. How amazing?!

A huge congratulations to these two UVM college sweethearts! I wish you nothing but the best for your futures together.

Squam Lake | New Hampshire Wedding Photographer

ALYSSA & AJ

SQUAM LAKE | NEW HAMPSHIRE | MICRO WEDDING

Alyssa & AJ celebrated their marriage on the pristine coast of Squam Lake in New Hampshire last week and it was the most beautiful day.

I first met Alyssa in 2016 working at The Bearded Frog in Shelburne. Even though we both did not work there for very long we instantly hit it off and continued our friendship beyond the restaurant world. I photographed Alyssa & AJ and their pups in 2018 at their first home together in Essex and then again in 2019 for their engagement session. When Alyssa asked me if I was up for flying to Sedona, AZ for their wedding I was over the moon excited. And then COVID hit and those plans all went out the window. Not only were Alyssa & AJ forced to postpone their wedding but they changed locations not once, but twice. I would say though that the third time is the charm because their intimate day last week by Squam Lake with just their closest family & friends was so special. 

From gorgeous ceremony views, the best doggos, heartfelt toasts, the most romantic first dance by the lake & a sunset paddle board - their day was filled with so much joy, love and beauty. Alyssa & AJ, I wish you nothing but the best for your futures together as you embark on your new adventure to AZ. It was such an honor to be the one capturing your day!

EMMA

STRATTON MOUNTAIN RESORT | VERMONT MOUNTAIN TOP BAT MITZVAH

I knew from the moment I spoke with Emma’s Mom on the phone that this was going to be one very special day. Emma’s family has always been a Stratton family growing up, her parents even first met at the resort years ago. But when the pandemic hit last year they officially moved their home to Vermont from NYC.

Not only were her family and friends coming together to celebrate Emma’s Bat Mitzvah, a huge milestone in her life, but she has also achieved an even bigger accomplishment, 10 years cancer free. Her Mitzvah Project included her time helping at a crafts & toy drive for kids just like her at the hospital she was treated at.

“I was in treatment at the hospital day after day. But, I could always count on lots of crafts and playing with toys to put a smile on my face. My goal is to put a smile on a kids face at the hospital, to let them know they are loved, and even though they might be in a really tough situation dealing with cancer, they can always find some fun with crafts and toys in bed!”

Emma, it was truly an honor being a part of your Bat Mitzvah and a privilege to be the one capturing it. I wish you and your family nothing but the best for the future. Mazel Tov!

I could not have been more excited and honored to be a part of this celebration. The perfect way to end this crazy year, despite all the challenges.

Melissa & Christopher make an incredible team. These two tied the knot with their sweet son, chocolate lab and parents by their side at the most beautiful Vermont Christmas tree farm. Their idyllic intimate ceremony among the pines was what dreams are made of. The perfect way for these three to officially become a family.  

I wish you both nothing but love & joy for your futures together. Thank you Melissa & Christopher for trusting me with these incredible moments.

Just the two of them. That is all they needed. On a quiet December afternoon in the beautiful & quintessential town of Manchester, Vermont, Aja and Bryan promised to love one another for the rest of time. It was intimate, it was heartfelt and it was so full of joy that I couldn't stop smiling as I witnessed these two amazing people beam as they said their “I do’s”.

It may have looked very different from their original wedding plans but eloping simply felt right for these two. All they needed was each other. In a world filled with so much uncertainty right now, Aja & Bryan’s love for each other is absolutely certain. I could tell from the moment we met. The way they look at each other and can’t help but smile. The ease when they’re together feels so natural and effortless.

Meghan & Gage were married on a gorgeous Vermont fall day this past weekend - the sun was shining, the air was crisp, and the foliage was so bright & colorful. As Meghan walked down the church aisle with her Dad it was as if time stopped. Gage gazing down the church pews towards Meghan, the two of them couldn’t stop looking at each other. Absolutely beaming from ear to ear every time their eyes met, everyone in the room could feel their joy throughout the entire ceremony.

As Gage sang every word to their first dance song, they laughed together and swayed slowly across the barn dance floor. Meghan laughed the entire time and the happiness that filled the room was totally infectious.

Meghan & Gage, I wish you nothing but the best for your futures together! Thank you for the opportunity to capture your wedding day.

As I climbed the road up the big hill to Stratton Mountain on Friday, the rain was just barely coming down and the foliage was absolutely on fire. The low overcast clouds brought fog over the mountain, it was so peaceful and quiet at the resort. The rain didn’t phase Nicole & Shawn at all, they were getting married today and that was all that mattered.

As Shawn watched Nicole walk down that aisle it was like they were the only ones in the room. The ease between Nicole & Shawn was effortless all day long. The way they looked at each other and their faces immediately lit up with smiles. As they left the ceremony as husband and wife the theme song from ‘Friends’ came on over the speakers and could not have been more perfect. 

“I’ll be there for you

(When the rain starts to pour)

I'll be there for you

(Like I've been there before)

I'll be there for you

('Cause you're there for me too)”

I am so thankful to have been a part of their small ceremony this year and can’t wait to continue the celebration next year!

Larissa & Wyatt | Castleton, Vermont Wedding Photographer

LARISSA & WYATT

10.10.20 | CASTLETON, VERMONT

When Larissa reached out to me about photographing her wedding I could not have been more honored. We’ve known each other since Kindergarten, spent many early mornings waking up for dance team practices in high school and more recently walk our pups together since we both live in the small town of Huntington, VT! It doesn’t matter how many years it’s been, whenever I see Larissa it’s like we are picking up right where we left off.

When I first met Wyatt at their engagement session last fall I knew right from that moment just how much he loves Larissa. Most guys aren’t super pumped to take photos (especially in the fall during deer season!), but I could tell he would do absolutely anything for her. 

The weather threatened all day Saturday with torrential thunderstorms on the radar and when the clouds finally decided to open up that evening I could not have been more thankful that we were under the tent doing toasts and done our portraits outside! 

Larissa & Wyatt tied the knot on Wyatt’s families gorgeous property in Castleton, VT and it was the most perfect day. The foliage was on point, their pup Koda was the sweetest and the bridesmaids organized a dance for Wyatt that was just the best! 

Larissa & Wyatt, I wish you both nothing but the best for your futures together. Being included in your day was such an honor and I am so happy that I was able to capture all the special moments.

When Meg reached out to me about wedding photography shortly after Mitch popped the question, I could not have been more excited for them. They didn’t even have a date yet but she knew who she wanted to photograph their wedding. This meant the absolute world to me!

Meg & Mitch’s wedding day was everything I knew it would be and more. Laid back, fun and full of laughs. While the girls frolicked through the field in their pajamas and the boys sipped Miller Lites, friends and family members gathered to celebrate these two amazing people. Some of the most emotional & laugh out loud toasts were given. And even their pup Enzo made a guest appearance for some family photos as husband & wife.

Meg & Mitch, I am so honored to be the one you chose to capture your wedding day. Rain or shine I know you two will always be there for each other every step of the way.

We had the most perfect weather on Saturday for Emily & Andrew’s intimate backyard ceremony. Just the two of them and their families was all that they needed to celebrate their love.

Still planning a bigger celebration for next year, they decided to say “I do” at Andrew’s childhood home in Bristol, Vermont on their originally planned wedding date.

When Emily came around the corner of the house with her Dad, everyone fell silent. The look between Andrew and his future wife said it all. This was exactly what they wanted. To spend the rest of their lives together and continue this journey no matter the challenges.

Emily & Andrew, I wish you nothing but the best for your future together and I cannot wait to capture your full wedding day next year!

“I’m speechless, staring at you, standing there in that dress… wanting you is all that I can do.” The soft melody played perfectly as Lyndsay came around the corner at Lareau Farm Inn and saw her incredible groom waiting for her at the end of the aisle. Lyndsay’s long walk with both her parents by her side was something out of a movie. It was as if time stopped, just for a moment. All you could hear were the lyrics of Dan + Shay, as if Lyndsay & Michael were the only ones there.

These two thought of everything when it came to the details. They united two different whiskey’s from their home states into one barrel, to age and enjoy on their one year anniversary. Michael’s Dad cut & made the wooden centerpieces and coasters around the reception space. The wedding party had the most epic introductions I have ever seen with both the worm and a wheel barrel successfully attempted. Lyndsay & Michael even fed each other apple crisp instead of cake!

Lyndsay & Michael, I wish you nothing but the best for your futures together. I hope you are relaxing by the ocean on your trip to Acadia, Maine this week and can look forward to an epic honeymoon in Thailand some day soon.

A ROMANTIC BACKYARD CEREMONY | PERKINSVILLE, VERMONT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

A million things are out of your control when you’re trying to plan a wedding. Details might go astray and the weather is always unpredictable. But the one thing Emily knew was that she was marrying her best friend. That was all that mattered. Emily, Tyler, their pups and their closest family & friends. Love certainly was not canceled this weekend.

With Emily’s grandmother’s pearls hanging proudly around her neck, the two of them said “I do” with the most romantic soft cloudy skies, under the sweetest tent set up in their gorgeous backyard in Perkinsville, Vermont. The rain held the entire time we were outside and everyone was just so thankful to be there beside Emily & Tyler.

We waited until the end to bring out Murphy & Timber just to be safe, yet the dirt was inevitable! It didn't matter one bit though - Emily was the kind of bride who didn't care if her pups paw prints get on her wedding dress. You just can’t be mad at those sweet faces!

There was not a dry eye during the ceremony as Rebecca read her vows to William. On Sunday evening surrounded by their very closest family & friends, these two said ‘I do’ in the most beautiful way.

Rebecca was absolutely glowing with love the entire evening. It radiated off of her and William. The way they would simply just look at each other, and smile. It was truly infectious. You could see it in Williams’s eyes the moment that door opened and Rebecca walked down the aisle. They were meant for each other.

They joined their families together with a zen rock garden uniting them with all their children. Having everyone there in one space meant the world to Rebecca & William.

Rebecca & William then shared their first dance together as husband and wife, followed by an incredible dinner. Everyone was so happy to be there celebrating these two incredible humans.

I wish you two nothing but love & happiness for your future together. Thank you for sharing your wedding day with me.

A Backyard Summer Wedding | Guilford, Vermont Photographer

BRITTNEY & STEVE

A BACKYARD SUMMER WEDDING | GUILFORD, VERMONT PHOTOGRAPHER

Brittney & Steve’s wedding day looked very different from what we all expected, but it was equally as beautiful and even more special being at Brittney’s childhood home. Nothing can touch the love that these two have for each other and nothing could stand in their way. They were stealing kisses all night long on the dance floor and laughing out loud at their best friend’s toasts as well at Steve’s ring *almost* not fitting during the ceremony. 

I could feel the rush of team effort that every family member and close friend there made in order to make the day happen. You could just look around and see the endless work and time spent on her parents property in Guilford, Vermont in order to be ready for this day. Hours of landscaping and endless beautiful stone walls created by Brittney’s Dad. Both her Dad and Steve’s Mom helping iron Brittney’s wedding gown so it was perfect for her to walk down their staircase and out the backdoor down the aisle to see her groom. The way that Brittney’s 98 year old grandmother looked at her stunning granddaughter just melted our hearts of everyone in her presence. 

The list goes on and on with all the little details. Including Steve’s grandfather’s tie clip that he wore proudly all day long and carried a piece of him throughout the day, never to be forgotten. Not only did Steve make the wooden cupcake holder, he built their custom ceremony benches too. So much effort and love was put into this wedding day and it shined through all day long.

When you have fur babies you probably have a lint roller handy in every room of the house, your car and your purse. I personally keep a small one even in my camera bag! There were so many laugh out loud moments including Steve’s team of lint rollers getting all that Woody hair off (don’t worry he joined us for portraits later!) And the laughs continued into cocktail hour when Steve’s family participated in the most intense never ending game of Jenga I have ever witnessed! They should probably just start a competitive league already. 

Brittney & Steve, you did it! You said ‘I do’ with the most important people in your lives by your side and danced the night away under the stars. It was intimate, romantic and everything a wedding day should feel like. Congratulations you two, I wish you nothing but love for your future together!

THE MIDDLEBURY INN | MIDDLEBURY VERMONT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Courtney & Brian said ‘I do’ with just their immediate families and best friend by their sides. It wasn’t their original plan, or even their back-up plan, but it was the most intimate and perfect day. Smaller weddings honestly have a special place in my heart and I felt incredibly honored to still be a part of it.

Courtney was following in her mother's foot steps. Not only was she wearing her mom's wedding jewelry but her parent’s anniversary was just the day before her and Brian tied the knot. There were so many thoughtful details throughout the day - her sister knit Courtney a beautifully handmade blush bridal shawl. Everything came together perfectly - even their mask colors coordinated just right.

As the toasts came to an end in the romantic courtyard and the sun began to set, Courtney’s face lit up when her father started reading a letter from their family in Canada. Even though they couldn’t be there physically, their hearts were there in spirit.

Love isn’t canceled - Courtney & Brian made sure of it. August 7, 2020 was the most special day for these two and I can’t wait to continue the celebration in 2021!
