Danielle and John - A Burlington, VT Wedding
Danielle and John were married in July here in Burlington, VT. Their wedding at the Burlington Elks Club was one of the most unique that I have worked in that it included warm temps for Vermont, a rain shower during the ceremony, a first look that was special for them both, and a great location on the UVM campus for formals. That's before we even arrived at the reception. This was where we enjoyed a surprise song and dance from both the Bride and her Dad and also an appearance by Elvis. They were a great couple to work with since they were into pictures and were up for anything. They each had nothing but smiles all day! Enjoy some pics from their day.
Lindsey and Sean- Jay Peak Resort Wedding
I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Lindsey and Sean's wedding at Jay Peak Resort a few weeks ago. They had the fortune of perfect weather for the outside ceremony near the pond. The fact that no one knew how to tie a bow tie nearly made the groom show up with a wardrobe malfunction but thanks to Google, the tie was tied and he looked great. Lindsey and Sean are avid fishermen and they wanted to make a picture that that would let everyone know about their interest and show how much fun they have together so we made the one below where Sean has been 'hooked' by Lindsey permanently! Their wedding theme was fishing and they carried this out with all of the accessories. The reception was carried out in usual excellent style by the staff at Jay Peak Resort and the dancing also had a memorable moment when the groom broke out into karaoke. Thanks to Lindsey and Sean for allowing me to attend their celebration, enjoy the images.
Michele and Eric - Old Lantern Inn and Barn Wedding
Michele and Eric were married at the Old Lantern Inn and Barn in Charlotte, VT. Their wedding had a fun, yet sophisticated feel with an outdoor ceremony on a perfect day. It was a short ceremony which, for a wedding photographer, made for a hectic few minutes in order to get the shots. The reception was very fun with great music and donut treats near the cake for the guests. We were able to get away with the bride and groom at one point to make some portraits of them just as the sun was setting and these are some of my favorites. The night was culminated with an antique car arriving to take them on a romantic ride. The video we shot of their departure made the wedding video ending perfect!

A Vermont Engagement on Ice- Andrew and Mary
Mary and Andrew are engaged to be married in August of 2015. They wanted to make some engagement pictures that were different from others so they chose to do them in the winter. We set up a date to meet on Lake Memphremagog where we found lots of great choices. Each of them is a pharmacist, and despite being dedicated to their work, love to ski and have fun with one another. Despite the cold and Mary's limited mobility from an unfortunate car accident we still worked with several locations. Not to worry, she's going to be 100 percent when she walks down the aisle! They were real troopers and agreed to be outside for the whole session. One of our locations was a cool ice maze near the lake. Using two flashes and a bit of creative white balance selection, I made the final image below. I love the blue colors of the ice and how it gives a winter feel to the image. This was a fun shoot and I can't wait for the wedding!
