Chester Vermont Wedding: Nick and Devon

Devon and Nick live in sunny California yet they came all the way back to New England for their wedding at a little Inn in Vermont. These two reached out to us in 2013 and we told them we did not book over 18 months in advance so to please come back when the date is closer. Well wouldn’t you know it, Nick reached back out to us exactly 362 days later. We were elated and booked their wedding after over 2 hours on the phone just having a ball getting to know him. When they much anticipated day finally came, it was even greater since this is post June 26, 2015 #SCOTUS #lovecantwait #lovewins and all of that goodness.

They stood facing each other and said some of the most emotional and moving well written vows we have heard. After that it was all hugs and kisses and tears from everyone invited. The party began with an amazing meal, half indian food, half brick oven pizza (I wish I could go back to that right NOW and have it for dinner again). There was dancing of course, and even two caricature artists! It was such a fun wedding to be a part of.

Warren Vermont Wedding: Brianne and Sean

Brianne and Sean took a risk and planned their wedding for the top of a ski mountain in beautiful Vermont. For the second time in our photography career, a ski mountain-top wedding was rained out and the rain plan was enacted. The last time was at Brittany and Jim’s wedding. Luckily though, like at any rain wedding, they rolled with the punches, had fantastic attitudes, and the backup plan was lovely! The guys played video games until the last moments before the ceremony and the ladies did what ladies do, primp and laugh and toast to the day! The ceremony was not long after the supreme court ruling on marriage equality and Brianne and Sean chose to use a quote about marriage from that historic day as party of their wedding ceremony. It was beautiful.

Once the party got underway, it was on! The dancing and music were so fun and we were sweating right along with the guests. You can count on Bostonian’s to bring a good dance party wherever they go.

Dorset Vermont, Barrows House Wedding | Bevin and Thom

Thom and Bevin made it official at the Seven Springs House in beautiful Vermont with the reception at he Barrows House. Having photographed them once before for their engagement session, we were really excited to do that again. They are so energetic and really really funny. That kind of couple is our ideal… fun and carefree and up for anything. Their guests were no less enjoyable and our day was filled with laughs and smiles.

Then there was that dress… and that ceremony filled with theater kid details… and the time warp in the dance party…

So yeah, we had a pretty great time.

Amanda and Ian’s Sugarbush Vermont Wedding

I loved every single thing about this wedding. It was SO pretty!!! Two people who are both so kind and welcoming had a classy and classic destination wedding in the mountains of Vermont. Hailing from NYC, they brought their favorite people with them to this gorgeous setting. We were so glad to be there too!

The ladies took a very un-rushed and casual approach to the day, getting ready, dancing, laughing, and cheer-sing the morning away. I can’t speak for the guys but I know it felt like a sleepover/slumber party in the ladies getting ready area. When we were ready to go we headed to the church and Amanda walked straight down the aisle in a matter of moments. Ian was waiting right there with his cute smile on his face. There was a collective gasp when she walked in… I mean… LOOK at her, and that DRESS!!! They even had a Bishop there to help in the ceremony, her great uncle Monseor Juan Antonio Flores (who sadly passed away mere days after the wedding).

After the ceremony, we headed into the Vermont wilds to take family photos, bridal party photos, and photos of just the two of them. It was calm and quiet and just the way we like to do it. No distractions, just us, them, and a gorgeous backdrop, (I know that makes every photographer jealous, myself included). Once we had the images that we loved, we all headed back to Sugarbush for a party of dancing dancing dancing!!

December 29, 2014 Rehearsal Dinner, Vermont

Amanda and Ian’s Rehearsal Dinner at Sugarbush

Amanda and Ian invited all their guests to a “Welcome Party” at the CastleRock Pub at Sugarbush. Since every single guest was out of town it was simply a pre-wedding event where they could all gear up for the following day. There were delicious treats to eat, fun decorations, tasty drinks, and lots of love. We even found a few minutes to take the two of them away for some night shots right outside. Oddly enough we had never met either of them until this day so we were impressed at how easy and open they were in just 10 minutes of photographing them. We are so glad we DID meet them too because they are dolls. Just you WAIT for the wedding.
