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!

Destinie & Mike’s Backyard Fall Wedding at the Killington Big House VT

Destinie and Michael’s wedding at the Killington Big House was intimate, romantic and inspiring. There was so much love and emotion surrounding their ceremony, which took place in the backyard. It was a true fall day. The leaves flew off the tall trees over their ceremony spot in occasional gusts like confetti. Destinie and her father both spilled over with emotion as he walked her down the aisle. Every single guest was tearing up. After the ceremony, Micahel pushed Destinie on a rustic swing in the backyard and her gown and veil streamed through the air. Then we drove around Killington to capture portraits at the mountain and by the pond. The lighting and colors were incredible. Destinie looked absolutely stunning in her gown which was totally different than anything I’ve ever seen and Michael was so dapper in his dark blue tux. I’m so inspired to have captured your wedding, Destinie and Michael! It really was a perfect day, congratulations you two!

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!

Henna Party in South Burlington, VT

It was an absolute honor to be able to capture Fathima and Arshik’s Henna Party in Vermont. This was my first experience photographing a Henna Party and I was like a kid in the candy store with the beauty and colors of their party. It was an absolute dream for me as a photojournalist.  The event was held at the Faith Methodist Church in South Burlington the night before their Nikah. The Nikah photos will follow soon!
