Recently, I had the joy of photographing the Pleu family, a relationship that began years ago when I shot Jess and Junie’s wedding. Since then, I’ve documented their journey through newborn sessions for their children, and now, a beautiful family session.

For me, one of my favorite things to uncover is why my couples choose to have their wedding in the Berkshires. In Kimber and Will’s case it seems kismet that even though they met in Boston they both have childhood ties to this area. Kimber feels sentimental about Stockbridge where she spent summers as a kid and during those same years, Will was traveling to Tanglewood while his sister practiced with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Megan and Andrew’s love of the outdoors was beautifully matched with the greenery that decorated the indoor ceremony space and the summer BBQ vibe of the cocktail hour and reception. It was such a special moment watching them enjoy their first look.

There was a point during family portraits, when Ashley’s mom said, “This looks exactly like the inspiration photo she sent me years ago.” Marrying Dylan, her bridesmaids in red, the cow pasture in the distance, rolling mountains, and a bouquet of sunflowers and roses.

Lauren and Ryan were so much fun to photograph. Their wedding at The Williams Inn was summery chic with earthy tones that reflected the beautiful surroundings of Williamstown.

The third time’s a charm! After rescheduling their wedding twice, 10/10/21 would finally be the day everyone came together to celebrate Melanie and Cody’s love. Their wedding was absolutely 10 out of 10 (get it?).

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.”

Wheatleigh Hotel was the perfect place for Juhi and Karan’s small, private wedding. It was just stunning.

Ally and Tyler were married at Bloom Meadows in the beginning of December and while there wasn’t much snow on the ground yet, the magical feeling of wintertime was there. In the silo suite there was a small stove lit and this made the space where the girls got ready feel so warm and inviting. The smoke from the fires of Crisp Catering crackled all afternoon as they prepared dinner. Bloom Meadows was also decorated for the season with wreaths on their doors and seasonal foliage in their window boxes.
