Allie and Marcus’ wedding at 33 Main made me feel so lucky that I get to play the role that I do. This day was so near and dear to my heart. I could not be happier watching two great friends fall in love in the Berkshires, settle down here and then get married. When I watch Allie look at Marcus like he is the only person in the entire room, I see a beautiful human who has met her perfect match.

Half Moon Jamaica was the perfect spot for them to invite 60 of their closest friends and family to celebrate their marriage. The speeches were my favorite part. In fact, I’m planning on saving a line that Caroline’s mom Nancy said during her welcome speech, but will change for when my sons are married. She said, “They say you marry off your daughters, but my girls weren’t raised like that.” –  I really loved this!! When Scott’s brother spoke he referred to him as “the mayor”. This couldn’t be more true.  We noticed this groom was constantly checking on everyone else to be sure they were taken care of.  Including us!

I was so excited to a part of this styled shoot to introduce a new wedding and event venue here in The Berkshires: Winbrooke

Located in Tyringham surrounded by breathtaking views, Winbrooke is certain to be one of our area’s most sought after venues. Grateful to collaborate with amazing wedding industry vendors on this shoot planned by Danecca & Co and Taylored and Thyme.

Sarah and Nathan’s was beautiful and provided all the best vibes of the holiday season. There are not many years we get to photograph weddings so close to Christmas, and their wedding got everyone in a festive mood with all the holiday touches.

Molly and Josh’s late fall wedding at Gedney Farm was such a beautiful day. Jewel tones, huge smiles, pie, and lots and lots of laughing. Another sweet touch was the centerpieces sculpted by Josh’s grandfather. They were so unique and beautiful I couldn’t stop photographing them.

Rachel and Erich chose to get ready in adjoining rooms. Rachel did her own makeup and they each opened a gift from the other. Erich joined her to button up the back of her dress, which was such an adorable part of the day. Erich would bustle her dress for her too later in the night. He didn’t see her from the front until they met outside for their first look.

Meanie and Katie had so many parts of their day that were so genuine. First, when they saw each other for their first look, they actually traded bouquets because they each liked the others better. Next, their flower man stole the show. He really understood the assignment as he danced down the aisle tossing flowers. Lastly, Melanie’s mom and Katie’s mom were the officiants which made the whole ceremony extra emotional and special.

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.

Are you ready for some fun? You’ll smile when you look at these pictures from Julia’s and Brandon’s wedding day. There was lots of joy, great music by Andy Warba, Wanda Houston, Jay Shale, a highly anticipated walk down the aisle, an expertly performed first dance, a Crazefaze Crew dance routine and a traditional hora! Oh and I haven’t even mentioned, one of the best speeches I’ve heard.

What a long time to wait but…. of all the dates to pick in 2022 I think they chose the perfect one. This past Saturday’s weather was the day you dream of in September and gave us the golden lighting that Lisa and I live for taking pictures of.

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.

Lisa and I met Sam and Andrea in 2018 at her sister’s wedding. We were chatting with them in the photo booth and loved them instantly! We dropped the not so subtle hint that when they were to get engaged they should give us a call – we wanted to be the one to capture it. Three months later, I got that call! Sam had proposed to Andrea!

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.

Greer and Jared’s wedding at Cottage Farm of the Berkshires was the very first wedding to happen at this brand new Berkshire venue. This space was once a working horse farm and was recently renovated to be an all inclusive wedding weekend spot.

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.
