Tricia & Brian | 08.04.18

Tricia & Brian celebrated their love on a summer day in August at The Mansfield Barn. I try to remind my brides that the one thing you have absolutely no control of is the weather. The rain decided to come to Jericho, Vermont at the exact time of Tricia & Brian's ceremony but it didn't stop them from having the most absolutely perfect wedding. With clear skies for photos before and after they tied the knot, it truly was a magical day! 

Tricia & Brian's first look was at their beautiful home just down the road from the wedding venue, on the same bridge we took their snowy engagement photos last winter. And to top the night off, who needs cake when you can have a Vermont Maple Creemee?!? Palmer Lane Maple parked their truck right outside Tricia & Brian's reception and I'm not going to lie this was one of my favorite parts of the day! How fun?!

Tricia & Brian, I hope you enjoy these highlights of your wedding day and I can't wait to share the rest with you!

Meghan & Peter | 07.13.18

Meghan & Peter’s wedding day at The Old Lantern was full of sunshine and sunflowers. What a perfect Vermont summer day for these two lovebirds! I first met Meghan at UVM during our undergrad studies and when she reached out to me three years later to photograph her wedding I could not of been more excited and honored!

Meghan and Peter your romance radiates between you both and makes my heart melt over and over again. Never stop smiling, your happiness is truly infectious.

Isabella & Alex | July 7, 2018

Isa & Alex were married in the small town of Huntington, Vermont on the most perfect summer day. With views of camels hump, wood-fired pizza, local brews and amazing music, all of their closest family and friends gathered to celebrate this very special couple. 

There are not many Saturdays during the summer where I can simply drive 10 minutes and be at my wedding destination for the day. When Isa and Alex asked me to be their photographer at Sleepy Hollow Inn I couldn't of been more excited to photograph at this hidden gem that I drive by almost everyday. 

Thank you both so much for the honor of being your photographer!

Sarah & John | June 30, 2018

Capturing Sarah & John's Vermont summer wedding was an absolute dream come true. With just 30 of their closest friends and family they said 'I do' at Honora Winery & Vineyard and then danced the night away at a private property in Wilmington, VT. It was an honor to be a part of such a special day. Thank you Sarah & John for making me feel like part of your family. Wishing you all the best for married life!

Catie & Greg | May 26, 2018

When I first found out Catie & Greg were getting married at The Mansfield Barn I was beyond excited! Catie has been long time friends with my cousin Taylor, between growing up in the same neighborhood and being roommates at UVM, I have gotten to know Catie and her family over the years. When she asked me to be the one to photograph her wedding I could not of said yes fast enough! 

Catie & Greg, you are a beautiful couple inside and out. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day!

Meet Tiahna. A talented photographer, a beautiful person. She is an incredible inspiration with her many creative abilities and I am so grateful to call her my friend. We took these images almost a year ago at Claussen's Florist & Greenhouse and I can't believe I let this much time go by without sharing. 

I hope this brightens up your day and is a reminder that beauty can be found during every season, (even Vermont mud season) you just have to know where to look.

A Backyard Autumn Vermont Wedding | Jericho, VT Wedding Photographer

Naomi & Jonathon | October 7, 2017

Naomi and Jonathon were married this past Saturday in their beautiful backyard in Jericho, Vermont. It was the perfect quaint setting for these two love birds to tie the knot. The foliage was just starting to pop making a stunning backdrop for their ceremony.

You could truly feel the love Naomi & Jonathon share with each other and their son Bo. They were surrounded by such amazing family and friends, I felt so welcomed into their day from the moment I arrived. Naomi & Jonathon, your love radiates from within. The way you two look at each other, like nothing else matters, is truly magical!

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Genova! Thank you for choosing me to capture your special day!

Heather & Cody | 09.30.17

We had an absolutely perfect September day at The Mansfield Barn last weekend for Heather & Cody's wedding. Complete with cowgirl boots, sunflowers and views of Mount Mansfield, every detail came together beautifully! It was amazing seeing so many friends, family and loved ones travel up to Vermont for this very special couple.

I first met Heather & Cody two years ago when my boyfriend, Drew, and I were living in Western Massachusetts. Drew and Heather were coworkers at The Farm Table and when Cody popped the question Drew was the first person to let Heather know that his girlfriend was a photographer. We did engagement photos at Heather's parents gorgeous home in Northfield, MA. I recommended they take a look at The Mansfield Barn for their venue, they fell in love with it, booked their date and immediately asked me to capture their wedding day!

It makes me smile just thinking about all of the connections that brought us together. Thank you Heather & Cody for having me be a part of your special day!

Jasmine & Mitchell | 09.03.17

I first met Jasmine & Mitchell last summer as they were transitioning their lives from Western Massachusetts to Underhill, Vermont. Much like their wedding day, I captured their engagement photos with their pup Cooper on a bright sunshiny September evening at Mills Riverside Park. There is something about seeing my couple's engagement photos framed that makes me smile from ear to ear. Not only did I spot a few in their beautiful home but the walls of The Mansfield Barn were decorated with them also!

It's been great getting to know Jasmine & Mitchell this past year through in-person meetings, their engagement session and finally their wedding day! Their families and friends who surrounded them on Saturday were a true reflection of what kind of people Jasmine and Mitchell are. Everyone was so kind, helpful and supportive. Thank you Jasmine & Mitchell for choosing me to capture your Vermont wedding. Congratulations!

Catherine & Jordan | 08.26.17

We had an absolutely gorgeous Vermont summer day last weekend for Catherine & Jordan's wedding. Blue skies, sunshine and a warm breeze made it the ideal temperature for their celebration surrounded by so many close family and friends. 

The Basin, in Brandon, VT was the perfect country setting for these two love birds to tie the knot. Tall grass meadows with a mountain view was a stunning back drop for their charming ceremony.

Saturday was complete with several fun loving kiddos and the sweetest chocolate lab puppy named Sophie. They had me swooning with cuteness the entire day!

Emily & Zac | 08.19.17

Last Saturday was a very special day at The Mansfield Barn. The ladies got ready at the beautiful Durbrow House in Underhill, Vermont complete with stunning views of Mount Mansfield. We then headed over to Mills Riverside Park in Jericho for Emily & Zac's first look. Coming back to my hometown for weddings is always such a treat. Growing up I never appreciated just how picturesque Vermont is.

Emily & Zac celebrated their love with so many amazing friends & family by their side. They had an incredible team behind them every step of the way. The day could not have gone any smoother thanks to Emily's amazing organizational skills with her detailed timelines and delegation of tasks. The positive energy radiated throughout the entire day. You could tell that everyone was truly enjoying themselves and having fun!

Riverside Farm | Pittsfield, Vermont Wedding Photographer

Maddie & Pat | 08.12.17

What started as a foggy morning at Riverside Farm with 60% chance of thunderstorms turned into a spectacular day with absolutely no rain! This seems to be a theme this summer. 

Maddie and I grew up in neighboring towns and went to the same elementary, middle and high school. Although she was a few grades above me I do have one memory that takes us way back to playing in the school yard waiting for the bus. Almost everyday when I was in elementary school Maddie and Katelyn (one of her bridesmaids/my neighbor growing up) would teach me and my best friend gymnastics. Yes, anywhere from cartwheels, handstands, back bends etc. It was something I looked forward to every day after school! Although my future as a gymnast never took off, this memory is one I will always remember.

Maddie & Pat's day was filled with so much love, joy and positive energy. I could feel it as soon as I arrived. Everyone was so happy to be there, the excitement was buzzing around the room. It always feels so special when you see a couple surrounded by an abundance of friends and family who genuinely care about both of them.

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Fraser! Thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful celebration.

Elizabeth & Paul | 08.05.17

I was in absolute awe that the rain decided to hold off just in time for Elizabeth and Paul's ceremony on Saturday. The entire week it was calling for 100% chance of thunderstorms all day. Thankfully the skies decided to clear, after raining all morning. I was beyond excited to be able to capture their ceremony outside at The Mansfield Barn!

Elizabeth and Paul have been together through thick and thin. It was such a joy being able to see so many family and friends travel from all over to celebrate this couple's love. I am honored to be a part of your special day and capture such a big milestone in your lives.

Jay Peak Resort | Vermont Wedding Photographer

Celia & Mark | 07.16.17

The weather forecasted rain and thunderstorms the entire week of Celia & Mark's July wedding at Jay Peak Resort. You know what they say about Vermont: "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes!" Celia was convinced their ceremony would have to be inside, but Sunday ended up being an absolutely gorgeous day complete with sunshine, blue skies and mountain views!

I met Celia & Mark last summer when I started serving at The Bearded Frog in Shelburne, VT. They introduced me to so many new things in the restaurant industry. Mark's creations in the kitchen using local ingredients were not only mouth watering and delicious but were stunningly presented. Celia's knowledge of wine, beer and spirits still blows my mind and I continue to learn something new every time I step into the restaurant. Her hand crafted cocktail menu is exquisite with each ingredient playing a key role in her refreshing concoctions. Celia and Mark make an amazing team at work and in life.

When Mark proposed to Celia on top of a mountain, Libby's Look (down the road from their house), I didn't think I could be happier...Until Celia asked me to photograph their wedding! Mark custom designed her engagement ring with Vermont maple leaves on one side and the French fleur de lis symbol on the other. How amazing and unique?! I am beyond honored to be a part of their special day and capture so many amazing memories for such a special couple.

Love radiated through both Celia & Mark's smiles the entire day. The way they look at each other, like no one else matters. Seeing them so happy truly made my heart full.

Happy Sunday!

We didn't have to go far from Celia & Mark's home on Wednesday night to create beautiful images; One of the many reasons I love Vermont! Everywhere you turn there is either a river or field right around the corner. 

I am beyond excited to photograph their wedding today at Jay Peak Resort! Stay tuned this week for sneak peaks from their big day.

Cheers. xo

Spencer | Milton High School

Graduation day is here! A huge congratulations to this handsome senior. We did Spencer's portrait session last summer and I felt like it definitely deserved to be featured on the blog. Better late than never! Not only did the corn field and the Huntington River make for gorgeous backdrops but we made sure Spencer's dog Betsy got in for a shot. What a sweet pup!

Keith & Chad | Burlington, Vermont Wedding Photographer

Keith & Chad | 06.03.17

All you need is love, Lake Champlain & maple creemees. How handsome are these southern gentlemen?! And not to mentioned their Mickey Mouse themed attire including bow ties, rings and even socks.

Keith & Chad are both originally from Alabama. They've been together 12 years and decided to make their love official right here in Burlington, Vermont. They flew up for a weekend getaway together, traveling all throughout the green mountain state. It makes me incredibly happy to know that there are people who love Vermont as much as I do.

Not only did we end the session with maple creemees but Keith insisted on me getting one too. How could I say no?! You definitely don't have to tell me twice. I love my maple creemees!

Congratulations Keith & Chad! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture your special day!

The Old Lantern Inn & Barn | Vermont Wedding Photographer

Michaela & Joel | 05.19.17

Charlotte, Vermont was the perfect setting for Michaela & Joel's wedding day this past weekend. Between the lilacs, Lake Champlain and the covered bridge just down the road, everywhere you turned was absolutely breath taking!

Michaela & Joel saw each other for the first time under the swaying weeping birch tree in front of The Old Lantern Inn & Barn. We then took a short drive to an adorable covered bridge right next to Lake Champlain. So Vermont. How amazing are these too practicing their first dance in the middle of a country back road! Ah my heart.

Michaela & Joel were married under an incredible homemade arbor with flowers from Trader Joe's. Absolutely stunning! This brought so much life to the fresh spring green backdrop. A unique aspect of their ceremony included Michaela & Joel taking river water, each from their hometown, and pouring it together as one. What an amazing idea! So special.

Cheers to Michaela & Joel. xo
