Danielle + Andrew's Red Barn Wedding
Ryan Williams
The wedding was truly breathtaking. Romantic, down to earth, fun- just an absolutely perfect day. Danielle and Andrew both agree that it was the best day of their lives! “We wish we could relive it over and over again.”
Here's how they met: Danielle and Andrew met in the summer of 2010 through mutual friends and have been together ever since.
As for the proposal, One night at the end of the summer, they went on a walk and expressed the feelings they had for one another. A little over three years later, (Danielle’s 27th birthday) this young couple went on that same walk and Andrew proposed to Danielle at the end of the romantic stroll.
I asked the newlyweds: What’s one piece of advice you would give to other couples for planning their wedding? Danielle and Andrew went on to suggest you enjoy every minute of the planning process. Try not to get caught up on small details, you will be stressed out and unable to focus on this amazing time in your lives.
The wedding and reception were both held at The Red Barn at Hampshire College. A big thank you goes out to these awesome vendors. They really helped make Danielle and Andrew’s day so special.
