The day started out drizzly, but then the sun ended up peaking through! It was as if nature itself was celebrating the love story that was about to unfold. Their families and Paige’s best friend were the fortunate witnesses to this beautiful wedding. In an era of grand weddings, their choice to focus on intimacy was a refreshing and just perfect.

I reconnected with Sarah after she and Eugene got engaged and I immediately recalled Sarah as the sweet teenager that used to help me at Loeb’s, a local market in my hometown of Lenox. Fun fact: Sarah was also one of my very first Berkshire Photo Booth attendants.

One of the most remarkable things for me personally about working with Anna and Scott was the feeling of kindness and trust they had for us immediately. It made everything easier and gave us more room for creativity throughout the day. Knowing that other couples are looking to these blogs for wedding inspiration, I thought I would share a few things that they told me the day after their wedding.

Their wedding had the vibe of end of summer nostalgia best celebrated with your favorite people. To make their friends and family feel welcome, Lauren and Jason included a casual brunch the morning of their wedding with a garden party feel. To follow was a formal ceremony among wild flowers and a mountain backdrop and then an intimate dinner.

This luxury estate is one of my favorite venues to photograph as it provides elegance and sophistication at every turn. On this Saturday in early May, everything was in bloom in the Berkshires and on the Wheatleigh property. I’m always looking to capture light, landscape and expression and it was exciting to have the perfect mixture of all three on this evening with Alyssa and Matt.

Maureen and Chad had the most amazing sunset photos. Not to miss! Thank you for including me in such a special day.
