I was so excited to get the call for Kelly and Ryan’s wedding.  I met Kelly a couple of years ago when I photographed her brother’s wedding.  She just happened to be dating Ryan who I went to middle school with.  I love when worlds collide, so when they got engaged and reached out I was thrilled!

The duo love snowmobiling, so a winter wedding was a given.   When couples choose a winter wedding, there is always the hope for that perfect snowfall, but Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate.  She must have a soft spot for these two because she delivered the most amazing backdrop for their big day!  They really couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect.

A huge thank you to the following vendors for making the day even that much more amazing!

What an amazing way to close out our wedding season in 2015!  Dianne, Mark and their families were all truly amazing to work with.  Their wedding day was unseasonably warm which allowed us to get outside and take advantage of the beautiful scenery the Mount Washington Hotel has to offer without freezing our toes off!

After photos they were joined by their families to make it official.  I may have even gotten choked up at their ceremony when they each read love letters to the other.  It was one of the most beautiful ceremonies I have ever had the privilege of documenting!

Thank you both so much for trusting us with your special day.  We wish you many years of love and laughter 🙂

Also a big shout out to my second photographer, Bruce Preston.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Dianne and Mark looked at each other just like this ALL day long!

Madison and Ben were just the best way to close out the busy season for us!  Anyone who has followed my blog for any amount of time know that I used to frequent The Granite Rose before it sadly closed this year.  Ben’s family owned and operated The Rose for as long as I have been a photographer (in fact one of my first big weddings when I was brand new was there!)  and we always looked forward to seeing them when we had weddings booked there.  They were sadly missed this year, so we were so excited to see them all again for Madison and Ben’s big day!  I knew that I was going to be in for a day full of fun and laughter for sure.  Getting to meet Madison’s family the morning of the wedding only confirmed that for me.

It was the most picture perfect day overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee with the foliage glowing in the back ground.  We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more!

It was truly an honor to be chosen to document your day, especially from a family who have seen a lot of photographers in action.  I am humbled and thankful to have been able to be a part of something so special.

Mike an I wish you many years of love and laughter.

XOXO

Kassie and Adam are two peas in a pod. They just work! During their first look they both bit their lip the same way during the anticipation of seeing eachother for the first time. It was cuteness overload! Poor Adam woke up with a terrible cold the morning of the wedding, but he didn’t let that stop him from having a great time and loving on his bride. (Not sure if Kassie ended up with that cold a few days later?)

We started the day getting ready at Zorvino Vineyard and after the first look had a great time walking around taking photos, laughing with family and wedding party (and trying to stay warm! brrrr it was cold!). Then it was over to United Methodit Church in Londonderry to say I do! It was a beautiful ceremony which ended with the couple being suprised by family with a chauffeured ride in style back to the vineyard to celebrate their new marriage!

Thank you for including us in your big day!

See the lip biting?  SO CUTE!
The longest married couple dancing with the newest married couple 🙂

We see all kinds of weddings, and it can be easy to let the stress of the day get in the way of what the day is really about … not for Ashley and Jared!  Even when the ceremony before theirs ran late causing their ceremony to start late, they were calm, relaxed and knew that by the end of the day they would be husband and wife … even if it was 30 minutes later than planned.  What is 30 minutes when you have forever to look forward to?

After their beautiful ceremony at Saint Marie’s in Manchester, everyone head over to Manchester Country Club for the reception.  This was our first time there since the renovations a few years ago and we were so impressed at the new look!  The reception room is so bright and elegant!  It was the perfect setting for Ashley and Jared to cerebrate their new marriage with family and friends.  We are so excited to have been able to play a roll in such a special day!

Here’s to many more years!

Athena and Tim are just two of those people who have a “happy aura” that surrounds them.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, spend 5 minutes with them and you’ll get it.  Not only is their bond with each other undeniable, but so is the closeness they share with their family and friends.

Athena is an amazing fitness/food blogger (check it out www.fitnessandfeta.com) and her passion for healthy living, working out and good food is inspiring.  I wish I had a fraction of her dedication and talent!  Seriously, check out some of her food posts!!  Aside from the obvious benefits of living a healthy life style, she looked AH-MAZING in her wedding dress!  (Tim rocked his suit too 😉 …)

A huge thank you to you both for including us in your day!  We had a GREAT time!

Thank you to some of our favorite wedding vendors who also played a part in making the day so fabulous!

Jennifer and Jason are seriously just too cute for words!  They, like so many others now, decided to do a first look and OH WOW! am I so happy they did.  The grounds at Tewksbury Country Club are gorgeous and we captured some amazing images there after the ceremony in light that makes photographers drool, but Red Wing Conservation area in Chelmsford Ma, where they did their first look, was nothing short of breath taking!  It was the perfect canvas for beautiful images, it was nice and private so we didn’t have to worry about people in the back ground and it suited Jennifer and Jason perfectly.  Take a look, you’ll see what I mean.

Thank you so much for including us!

This is a ticket stub from their first date together!  I love that they kept it after all these years 🙂

Anyone who knows me knows I love weddings. They are all unique and special in their own way and I love that! Every so often we get to work with couples we have an extra special relationship with … in this case, Devon is Mike’s cousin (well, technically, her father is Mike’s cousin, which makes her his second cousin?) Most of Mike’s family were guests and it was wonderful to get to see them all celebrating such an amazing couple. The big day took place at Castle in the Clouds which boasts some of the best views in New Hampshire. I highly recommend everyone puts it on their must visit list if you have never been!

Thank you so much for including us in your special day! We were thrilled to be a part of it!

Brittany and Mark were set up on a blind date by one of Mark’s co-workers;  boy did he know what he was doing!  They are just one of those couples that you can’t help but smile around. They have something so amazingly special and I can completely see them in 50 years still smiling at each other the way they were their entire wedding day.

Thank you both so much for giving us the honor of documenting this day that starts your life together!

Many thanks to all the other vendors who made this day so special for them!
