Sara & Kirk - Lenox/Tyringham, MA

Friday was the start of my whirlwind weekend. First, I had the pleasure of photographing Sara and Kirk's wedding at St. Ann Church in Lenox, MA. According to Father CJ the parish priest at St Ann Church, the church is one of most popular locations in the Berkshires to get married. I can certainly see why... beautiful stonework outside and intricate carved angels and stencil work inside... it certainly makes a stunning setting. And Sara was equally stunning...

The reception was held at the Sunset Farm Inn in Tyringham, MA. The converted barn was a beautifully rustic setting to an emotional and fun party to celebrate the coming together of two very special families.

Thank you Sara and Kirk for inviting me to be a part your very special day.



Sara and Kirk may you have 56+ years of married life also...

Jessica & Neal - Grafton, VT

Sometime I just know when a couple is going to be great to work with... When Boston based Jessica and Neal drove over 2 hours from Boston during the remnants of hurricane last fall I had a pretty good guess. It turns out I was right...

Words can't describe how much fun I had at Jessica & Neal's wedding this past Saturday! I'm not sure I've ever laughed so much during the wedding day before...

Jessica and Neal chose the The Grafton Inn in Grafton, VT for there ceremony and reception. What a great choice too! It seemed like the whole town was decked out in quintessential Vermont splendor including the weather which couldn't have been more beautiful after a rough start in the morning.

Nora & Chris - Richmond, VT

Sometimes you just know that a wedding is going to be special... Fate seemed to be at work with Chicago based Nora and Chris's wedding from the very first few emails I received from them. First the wedding was to take place at a barn I have been admiring for at least five or six years. The West Monitor Barn in Richmond, VT is a special landmark off of route 89 between exit 10 and 11. (Be sure to read about the barn's history...) Second Nora took some time to look around at all of her photography options and came back to me because she really liked my work. Third, our first phone call to talk about her plans sealed it for me... She and Chris were planning their wedding in way that I would do it if I were to do it all over again. Lots of friends and family getting to together to share in love, friendship and celebration. And much of the day pulled together (beautifully if I might add) with lots of help from their friends and family...

I really feel blessed to have shared in Nora and Chris's wedding day...



Before I leave the subject of Nora and Chris's wedding I should take a moment to mention Nancy and Ian of Elder Hill Catering (802-453-3124). Nancy and her wait staff kept everything running smoothly and looking beautiful. Ian prepared the best salmon I have ever eaten at a wedding... among so many other really delicious dishes. They were a real pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them.

Ayda & Rick - Brattleboro, VT

Santa Barbara, CA based Ayda and Rick's wedding was a beautiful joining of family and friends from all over the world. They seem so perfectly matched for one another... And there was hardly a dry eye during the ceremony as they combined their own families' cultures and beliefs.

Ayda got ready at Naulakha Rudyard Kipling's home in Brattleboro, VT. Lovely location with beautiful light...




The ceremony took place in an apple orchard on a hill overlooking the Connecticut River. The reception was at the lovely Scott Farm in Dummerston, VT.
