Elizabeth and Erik's Wedding at Walker Island Campground

Elizabeth and Erik were married on August 26th, with a ceremony at Black Birch Vineyard and a reception at Walker Island Campground. 

These two met at work, and they have been together four years! Erik proposed to Elizabeth after a nice dinner and wine while they were watching a Christmas movie, and ever since that perfect holiday gift, they have been so excited to see it all come together and to be married as man and wife.

Both Elizabeth and Erik were a little nervous, but they had opted for a first look before the ceremony and found that it helped to relieve a lot of the emotion and stress of the day. By the time they got to their ceremony, they were able to better enjoy each other and their love, and it showed!

From there, it was off to a clambake-style dinner before the guests danced the night away at the Walker Island Campground. These two made a real effort to make sure their family and friends were having fun, and it was wonderful to see them partying with the people they are closest to.

Erik & Elizabeth, thank you for letting us be part of your amazing day. Congratulations to both of you!

Ashley and Jeff's Zukas Hilltop Barn Wedding

Ashley and Jeff were married on September 18th, with a ceremony and reception at Zukas Hilltop Barn in Spencer, MA.

Jeff and Ashley met while they were playing co-ed softball, and Jeff proposed while they were camping at Waterville Valley over the 4th of July weekend. Jeff had the ring inside his tent the entire time and finally asked her on the last day of their camping trip after they’d gone up to a lookout spot in the mountains. 

On the day of the wedding, we were all a little nervous about the weather. The forecast said that it was supposed to rain all day, but luckily, it held out for us. We even got a little sunlight peeking through the clouds!

Jeff and Ashley opted not to do a first look and actually parted ways after the rehearsal dinner on Thursday. They hadn’t seen each other since then—until she walked down the aisle on Sunday. They had been in suspense and anticipation for the days leading up to the wedding, and it just made the looks on their faces when they finally saw each other again that much more memorable!

Ashley & Jeff, thank you for letting me be part of your amazing day. You two and your friends and family have such a special energy, and I loved being able to share that with you!

Sara and Jim's Wedding at the Red Barn at Hampshire College

James (better known as Jim) and Sara were married on October 2nd, with a ceremony and reception at the Red Barn at Hampshire College.

Sara and Jim met at Stearns Square Bike Night eight years ago, and once they started dating—that was it! Jim proposed over playing cards in a cabin in Vermont, and then I was so honored to be asked to be a part of their wedding. 

On the day of the wedding, James and Sara were a little nervous about doing a first look. They weren’t sure that they wanted to do it, but it ended up being their favorite part of the day! They were far more relaxed, and they were able to spend time with friends and family that they didn’t see very often. 

From there, it was clear that the two of them were just focused on family and on each other. It was amazing to see the two of them truly get to relax and enjoy every moment as it came. 

Sara & James, thank you so much for the honor of being part of your day! Your wedding was full of love, family, and warmth, and I loved being able to capture it for you!

Chelsea and Jim's Publick House Historic Inn Wedding

Chelsea and Jim were married on October 28th, with a ceremony and reception at the Publick House Historic Inn.

Jim and Chelsea met in their high school Latin class and quickly became best friends long before they even started dating. But once they got together, that was it! Jim took her back to Salem, MA, for a weekend trip and proposed at the high school where they met and now, after eight years together, they are finally tying the knot!

On the day of the ceremony, these two had opted not to have a first look, so they saw each other for the first time at the wedding itself. This ended up being the perfect decision for the two of them, as it meant that they were able to share that special moment with each other in front of their guests when they first saw each other as she was walking down the aisle!

They had asked a friend of theirs, Bob Plasse, to officiate the ceremony, which truly made the whole thing more personal and touching. He went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure the day went exactly the way they wanted it to go!

Chelsea also raved about her dress, which she got from Alfred Angelo—especially about her seamstress, Maria. She said that Maria was one of the sweetest people she had ever met and bent over backwards to get her to have her dream dress!

Jim & Chelsea, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your amazing wedding! Congratulations to both of you—I wish you both so much happiness together.
