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.

Marianna and Rebecca opted out of a first look and instead got ready together. Enjoying time together at Tourists Hotel before helping each other get into their gowns was really something special! The genuine kindness and support they showed each other the whole morning leading up to the ceremony was also special. They continually checked in on each other to make sure the other was okay. I love that about them

Sheila and Carlton’s wedding could not have been any cuter. These two sweethearts decided to tie the knot at age 80… what a love story! Their families, friends from church, and even Carlton’s Bridge buddies gathered for a small ceremony to witness the marriage.

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.

Katherine and Ben’s Chesterwood wedding at Chesterwood felt like an elegant dinner party of close family and friends. Guests ranging from age 1 to 88 were able to enjoy the gorgeous property while taking in the beautiful Berkshire mountains surrounding them. The guest count was intimate which made it a perfect, relaxed evening. Katherine and Ben were able to enjoy each other’s company and still spend time with family and friends who had traveled from all around the world to celebrate with them.

Their connection feels like a perfect match. It all began with a first date in Boston, at a favorite restaurant where they stayed out until 4:00 am because they were having so much fun. Anna and Liam have been together ever since. I first met the two of them for their engagement photos when they drove from Boston to the Berkshires to meet with me. I remember thinking then that they were such a fun couple.

10 years ago, I met Lisa for the first time over a cup of coffee. Our meeting was a follow up to her inquiry to see if I’d consider her as a second shooter. Lisa as a recent college graduate, seemed uncertain of what she wanted and was a bit shy as we chatted but as she began working for me, I quickly experienced the characteristics that make her so wonderful.

Anne grew up in the Berkshires and returns home with Andrew to enjoy summers here. While their wedding was originally planned for an earlier date, they didn’t let COVID restrictions get in the way of delaying their love. As they waited patiently to gather with all their family and friends here in the Berkshires, their life was moving rapidly in California. They welcomed a baby boy who was the most adorable addition to this celebration.

Imagine a tent full of families, who have been waiting to spend time with each other, finally having the opportunity to celebrate! The energy was high and everyone was elated. Thanks to Lauren and Mike’s band, The Band Method, not a single person stayed in their seat during the reception and the dinner tables became a stage for them to entertain on. It was incredible.

They both proposed to each other on the very same day! Eliza and Maggie’s non-competitive, equitable approach to proposing was simple: no plan (re: who would propose first), but on a trip to Asheville with friends, less than 24 hours before Eliza planned to pop the same question, Maggie beat her to the punch and dropped down on one knee on a breathtaking sunset hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway – the same mountain range where their first picture together had been taken, over 3 years prior. Later that night, Eliza proposed back on a hill under the stars, just two girls and their headlamps and a lot of happy tears.
