Sarah & Zach’s Shelburne Farms Wedding

Sarah and Zach had an intimate, dream wedding at The Inn at Shelburne Farms.  The forecast kept everyone on their toes until the last minute and we all wondered if their ceremony would end up being outdoors. But the rain cleared just in time and it ended up being a magical outdoor ceremony overlooking Lake Champlain. I had the best time walking around Shelburne Farms to take portraits of them. Shelburne Farms has so many incredible photo opportunities and backdrops for gorgeous environmental wedding portraits. And while we walked, I loved hearing the story of how Sarah and Zach had met at a Christmas party in Rhode Island, where they still live, and how their very first date was on New Year’s Eve. Sarah, a Shelburne native, had the most incredible crushed red velvet heals, and it was only by sheer coincidence that I paired them on top of a green velvet chair. But hearing that their love story took off during the holidays made that pairing of Christmas colors so much more significant. Thank you so much Sarah and Zach for choosing me to capture your perfect day!

Andrea & Jason’s Basin Harbor Club Wedding Photography

When I arrived at Basin Harbor Club, Andrea and her three bridesmaids were preparing a mimosa toast in their cottage overlooking Lake Champlain. It was a gorgeous, sunny day at the end of September and Vermont was just starting to feel like fall. After the ladies held a toast, they put on their dresses and headed out onto the cottage deck for photos. The wind was coming in unpredictably gusts sending Andrea’s veil flying as the ladies looked out at Lake Champlain. Meanwhile, Jason and his three groomsmen were completely dressed in the nearby Homestead Building after I left Andrea. We wandered around the docks and ledges overlooking Lake Champlain to take portraits.  The water was sparkling and it felt like we had Basin Harbor Club all to ourselves. Before heading to the ceremony, I bounced back to Andrea and we took some gorgeous portraits under the wedding arch, making sure to keep her well hidden from Jason. Andrea hopped in the backseat of her ride with her maid of honor and we headed to Vergennes Congregational Church for the ceremony. When Andrea walked down the aisle with her father, tears welled up in everyone’s eyes. Reverend Gary Lewis held up a magic 8 ball half-way through the ceremony surprising everyone.  Afterwards, we all headed back to Basin Harbor for the reception. Basin Harbor has such incredible photo options for portraits. We started on the Lodge Lawn and worked our way down to the docks with just Andrea and Jason. Their reception took place in the Town Hall. Their first dance had everyone smiling and their wasn’t a dry eye in the room for the father-daughter dance. The day couldn’t have been more gorgeous and was a true honor to be a part of. Congratulations, Andrea and Jason, and thank you so much for having me capture it!

Andrea & Jason’s Rehearsal Dinner at Basin Harbor Club’s North Dock

Andrea and Jason had a beautiful, intimate rehearsal dinner at Basin Harbor Club’s North Dock. It was a Thursday night at the end of September and felt like they truly had Basin Harbor Club all to themselves. The lighting was unbelievable as we watched the sun set among some dramatic clouds while listening to the incredible speeches. And nothing could have topped the night off better than beers and cocktails next to an open fire, lakeside style.

Winter Engagement Photos in Vermont

Andrea and Jason dreamed of the perfect snowy Vermont engagement session, but February proved to be unpredictable. One day it was 60 degrees with no snow and the next it was a freezing blizzard.

Just a couple days before our February photo shoot we had one of the heaviest snowfalls and I went and scoped out a last-minute tree tunnel location idea. It proved to be a magical winter wonderland setting. We also wanted to capture Vermont’s rustic winter beauty so we went to two other locations as well: A Williston barn with an American flag painted on it and Isham Family Farm which is an amazing location complete with Christmas trees, a barn and a maple sugar house .

Bart, their sweet Bull Terrier, came along for a walk on the farm. He was endlessly happy eating snow and found the most enormous branch to haul back down the hill. It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day and Andrea and Jason couldn’t have been a more photogenic, fun couple.

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding at the Basin Harbor Club in Vergennes, VT, this fall!
