It was such a pleasure to share in capturing the joy of Jenn & Joe’s wedding day celebrations.
They are without a doubt two of the nicest people, and it’s not a mystery why! They have a Great group of family and friends. I may be biased on that determination, (they both grew up in the Upper Valley, which holds a special place in my heart, since I grew up here too:), but it was so so nice to photograph another local wedding where I recognized quite a few faces!
Jenn’s day started out in Quechee, VT, at their Gorgeous historic home on Main Street. From there, we headed to St Denis Catholic Church in Hanover, NH, and after a beautiful ceremony, and some time in the sunshine greeting their guests, Jenn & Joe left the church in a 1956 Rolls Bentley (Grace Limo) and headed to their equally beautiful reception at the Quechee Inn at Marshland Farm.

“C’mon, dehg.” I hear as they make their way out across the drive, and up a hill into the forest…
From the beautiful craftsmanship and artistry that they both bring to the world in careers, to the way in which they chose to spend their free time and their days, Sarah and Stuart are one of those couples that I almost can’t believe I was lucky enough to find.
She’s a stunning little firecracker Long Island native, and he’s a Vermont-born and raised master welder, builder, woodsman, snowboarding adventurer! (needing few words to display a heart of gold:) Being given the honor of getting to know these lovebirds was an inspiration.
We walk through the woods and out into a clearing that rolls down to a fairytale worthy frozen pond. Flanked by trees so tall they’ve surely seen stories of many generations, it set the scene for Stuart’s next idea of fun: boot-skating Sarah around in Notebook-worthy fashion;)
It was both a visual and emotional oasis for me, their slice of heaven in these green mountains (which is why I spent hours upon hours hearing more about their story together in this magical place).
One of the best things I can do for my photo clients is take the time to get to know them — We love the photos with meaning, and authenticity. They resonate, and they have soul. When getting to know them also turns into seeing yourself, your own values (as well as parting phrases like “I feel like I’ve known you my whole life!”) you know something is going right. Thank you Sarah and Stuart, for putting your trust and story in my camera-laden hands! I wouldn’t be able to continue this pursuit and passion without you.
“He’s taken me with him before,” she says, speaking of his early morning turkey hunts. “It’s very dark, peaceful… you can’t see anything because it’s so dark, but that tunes you into all your other senses. It’s a wonderful experience, you wake up with nature, and the sun…”

Baby girl W is here and already one week old!
I was hoping this blog post would be Just the thing to invite her out into the world (after she missed her due date and then some!). Alas, as has been the case with my blogging opportunities, the post lay dormant as another pesky draft floating unseen on the waves of “busy season” – which was extra eventful for me this year!
Thanks to quite a few incredible new clients, colleagues, and networks, I’m encouraged to say that I’m excited to keep growing this business: from my nomadic New England existence, to a new home base in my beautiful home state of Vermont, here we go!
The photos we capture (and the experience that invariably comes with them) are why the long, never off-duty, mind constantly ticking, hours of planning, and prep, and post-production, are worth it to me… I get to share my passion for freezing moments and light; I get to share time, fun, and thoughts, with people who begin to tell me their story; I get to learn, and connect, and inspire, and be inspired. If there’s one thing I’m certain of it’s that human connection matters. I hope the photos I take help bring that to life.
Kristin & Matt:
These two have a quiet, (peaceful) love for one another… it’s so true, and so present, however, that it shouts at you from just about every one of these photos. I have been dying to share the complete set, so without further ado!
