At the end of the evening, I stole Mary, Ty, Megan and Brandon away for a little adventure. I loaded the foursome into my car and drove them down the road to High Lawn Farm for some couple portraits in the golden hues of a Berkshire sunset.

A wedding at Wheatleigh Hotel in the Berkshires epitomizes elegance and charm. Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Lenox, Massachusetts, this small 19-room hotel boasts an Italianate-style that transports you to a villa right out of Italy.

Brian grew up visiting the Berkshires as a child and his fond memories of this area were quickly shared with Michelle. Soon it became one of their favorite places to visit. When they began the wedding planning process it became obvious that a wedding in the Berkshires was in their cards. They could share their vows with each other and share one of their favorite corners of the world with their friends and family.

The details of Amy and Patrick’s wedding were stunning and honored the mastermind of the venue, Edith Wharton. One of Amy’s favorite Covid purchases was an antique Corona (how appropriate a name) typewriter which she used to type Edith Wharton quotes for the cocktail tables. They purchased vintage Edith Wharton classic books to use as display (and read during the lead up) and Amy folded the pages of one into a heart shape. The favors/table assignments featured locally, hand poured soy candles from a female owned business with their favorite Edith quote. Their head table had two little dog candlesticks to honor Edith’s affinity for dogs and her beloved quote “My little dog— a heartbeat at my feet.”
