Erin & Tim’s winter wedding in the Berkshires….a gorgeous timeless winter wedding

{that’s her grandmother’s wedding gown!}

Jamie & Paul’s spring wedding at Stratton Mountain Resort with Tara Polio Floral Event & Design.

These two were SO EXCITED to get married…and the chuppah was gorgeous!

On Mother’s Day Alex & Mike exchanged vows at his family home on the Cape – it was bittersweet as Alex’s sweet mother was attending while battling cancer…she was able to watch the ceremony from her stretcher via ambulance…it was truly humbling and emotional & we were so honored to document it. A Mother’s Day I will always remember. With By Emily B. & crew.

Raindrops may have been dodged…but Sarah & Kyle’s Alerin Barn wedding was one that we will never forget…so many sweet touches and their dog Harper too! With Christine Wheat Special Events. 

Julianna & Wyatt’s romantic blush elopement with their immediate family in Kittery Point, Maine was a magical evening!!! The sky matched her dress….I can’t wait to celebrate with the two again in 2017 for their reception.   Both events designed & planned by Lisa Sammons Events. 

Chloe and Alex kicked off the most amazing day at Twin Lakes Village with By Emily B. and crew….          Alex started the day off right with his saber-sword-champagne-magic-trick.

And I’m still swooning over Chloe’s bouquet!

I’ve know Sarah her entire life…she now lives in New Zealand working as a large animal vet…but she and Will {and all of his family from New Zealand} came back to New England to tie the knot on a blueberry farm in the Monadnock region in New Hampshire. 

Sumner Mansion in Vermont hosted Rachel & Peter’s big day…Rachel is one of the By Emily B. girls and so we knew this would be a super fun day…and it did not disappoint. I LOVED the big lights they hung from the GIGANTIC tree where they were wed.   

Heidi & Kevin celebrated 25 years of marriage with a renewal and gorgeous celebration with their children, family and friends…Moxie Hill Farm is a place we won’t forget! {The By Emily B. team was put to the test when I micro burst storm swirled around and lifted the tent and everything on the tables before the day’s festivities began…but you’d never know!}

Okay! That it’s it for this post…stay tuned for Part II with the rest of the 2016 season! xoxo

This season – I am so lucky to be busy with business, but still want to be able find the balance do to fun {and necessary} things with my family. Balance. October in New England for a photographer-mommy is all about BALANCE.  In the past, we have ventured out to apple orchards with wagon rides, and cider donuts, and all kinds of fun….but then, my sister has the giant apple tree that creates the BIGGEST apples…..so we didn’t have to find parking or stand in line for over an hour for some donuts {like last year!}….instead, we filled a giant bowl of the biggest apples right from the tree in front of their house….then the boys got to play with Thora and her friend Jane….and now I have a lot of apple sauce to make too :0)

Nicole and Dor had the sweetest laid-back BoHo wedding this August at a private residence in Franklin, NH. The house had many historical pieces, including a completely hidden room & wallpapered walls AND ceilings. Friends and family from all over the world {Dor’s family all came overseas from Israel} camped out and enjoyed a perfect NH summer weekend. Leading up the day, friends and family made dreamcatchers and macrame that were prominently decorating the ceremony site. The chuppah & all the gorgeous flowers were the mastermind of Mary of Lotus Flowers.

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”
