Kristen + Kevin Elegant Barn Wedding in Vermont

Kristen’s family hails from Connecticut but has always had a family lake house near Echo Lake in Vermont and her childhood is filled with special memories on the lake. It was only fitting that her and Kevin would rent a large lake house for their wedding party in Plymouth, Vermont, and tie the know at Saltash Farm nearby. They got married in October at the height of foliage color. They had their first down on the dock overlooking Lake Echo while their closet friends and family watched from the deck high above and the colors of fall reflected serenely on the lake. The day was a perfect match to their colorful fall engagement the October before filled with foliage, donuts and apples.

The wedding party caravanned through the mountains down winding dirt roads following handmade signs until arriving at the gorgeous and secluded red barn estate of Saltash Farm in Shrewsbury, VT. Saltash Farm’s endless rolling hills with vibrant foliage leaves popped in every direction. Kristen and Kevin’s ceremony was under a canopy of trees in front of a stunning circular wedding arch. Kevin swung Kristen over and dipped her for their first kiss while their guest erupted in cheer. Their first dance was another spectacular performance filled with lifts and dips.

Guests partied the night away with a high energy band, a donut wall that was eaten up immediately, and the outdoor fire pit on the expansive lawn.

Thank you so much, Kristen and Kevin, for having me as part of your incredible wedding journey! I loved every minute of getting to know you all!

Nellie + Trevor’s Quechee Inn at Marshland Farm Wedding

There are not enough words to describe how much I enjoyed capturing Nellie and Trevor’s love journey as their Vermont wedding photographer. The year before their wedding, we’d had a movie setting fall engagement shoot at their White River Junction home with their amazing dog Winifred and their hilarious cat. I was so excited to capture their wedding at the Quechee Inn and Marshland Farm. Trevor is a PhD candidate at Dartmouth, with a focus on climate change, as I understand it. Not only did he make their wedding rings, he also picked their wedding date by studying hundreds of years of weather and historically selecting September 7th as the best option. He hit the nail on the head. The clouds and bright blue skies were extraordinary as Nellie and Trevor had their first look in the giant field next to the Quechee Inn. Although their dog couldn’t be there, they had her commemorated with a cookie portrait at each place setting. The tent was a gorgeous setting with chandeliers and white silk draping canopy. Their natural table setting decor reflected their love for everything outdoors and included rocks, moss and candles. It was such a special ceremony and when Trevor smashed the glass everyone erupted with joy. Their after party was epic and wildly fun and had a packed dance floor most of the night. Nellie and Trevor, you are an amazing couple! Thank you so much for choosing me to capture your story.

Taylor + Andrew’s Lareau Farm Bohemian Dream Wedding

Taylor and Andrew’s wedding at Lareau Farm Inn was a spectacular bohemian dream bursting with such sultry chic style. Every detail inspired me from their exotic umbrella cabana lawn lounge complete with floor pillows to their handwoven summer of love sign, their giant feather plumes with flowers decorating their wedding arch, their handmade wooden cutting board centerpieces made by the groom himself to their boho flags flying high on rafters interwoven with twinkle lights. From white birdcage decor to southwestern cow skull to bowls of colorful paper folding fans, I found color and handmade details everywhere. I loved taking photos of Taylor twirling in the golden light. She was such a free-spirited bride and the entire day was such a dream for this free-spirited photojournalist. We played around with the hay bails and Andrew even launched himself off of one. It was so sweet watching the father-daughter first look between Taylor and her dad. What an awesome, dream-escape it was! I was so captivated and inspired by all that you created and the incredible love surrounding you both. Taylor and Andrew, thank you so much for choosing me to capture it for you!

Nellie + Trevor’s Engagement Photography in Quechee, VT

I am over the moon to be photographing Nellie and Trevor’s Wedding at The Quechee Inn at Marshland Farm in less than a week now on Saturday, September 7th. I had such a fun time getting to know them and their amazing fur-family during this engagement shoot last fall. Their dog, Winifred, is more human-like than most people. After an engagement session in the colorful fall foliage around their beautiful hilltop house, we headed to downtown Quechee, Vermont, to capture more engagement photography near the Quechee Covered Bridge and Simon Pearce falls. This couple is so full of love and laughter, I know their wedding day is going to be unbelievable! I’m so excited to be their wedding photographer!

Lacy + Dan’s Lareau Farm Wedding

Lacy and Dan are two of the kindest people I’ve met. And between Lacy’s beauty and her dreamy never-ending wedding dress train, I was on a creative joy-ride snapping away in a speechless photo-heaven flow state for most of the day. Their July 6th wedding at Lareau Farm Inn in Waitsfield, Vermont, was filled with dramatic rain showers and a magical glowing light that only follows a thrilling downpour. I love the raucous roller-coaster of a hardcore Vermont rain and the buzzing glow-shine of relief that exhales in its wake. Despite the fact that their outdoor ceremony was moved inside the pavilion, Lacy and Dan were overflowing with nothing but smiles and a contagious gratitude to everyone who surrounded them, to each other and to Dan’s two sons. Their Justice of the Peace Wedding Officiant, Stephen Laurie, created a beautiful ceremony, and the Lareau Farm staff seamlessly moved their ceremony inside and created and all-around outstanding celebration while Digital DJ Entertainment brought the party and the photo booth fun. I was so honored to be able to witness and capture their day. And I was deeply inspired by the way they smiled, laughed and glowed throughout their unpredictable weather, loving every moment of their wedding journey’s wild ride.  That spoke volumes that this is a couple who will weather anything life throws their way, and they’ll do it with a smile. Lacy and Dan, thank you SO MUCH for making me a part of your day! It was an incredible experience for everyone who got to be there!
