Kelly & Ian | Vermont Wedding Photographer | West Monitor Barn
Kelly and Ian were my last wedding of the season in Vermont, a few weeks before I moved back to NYC. (Side note: Vermont couples, I’m still willing and happy to head back north! ) I could not have asked for a better send off. Kelly and Ian were wonderful: super fun and laid back, and happy to tromp all over the farm to make loads of gorgeous photos!
These two came up to the mountains from North Carolina and had a beautiful wedding at one of my new favorite venues, the West Monitor Barn in Richmond, VT. As giving back to the community has always been a part of my business, working with venues that promote the same ideals is always a treat.
From their website: “All proceeds from renting the West Monitor Barn go towards funding Vermont Youth Conservation Corps (VYCC) programs, which employ over 300 young people to work on high-priority conservation and education projects across the state of Vermont each year.” How great is that?
Kelly’s beautiful fresh flowers!
We started off with a first look, one of my favorite ways to kick off photo taking. Then we were off to wander the farm on this lovely sunny day!
Big red barns and lovely couples = a happy photographer.
As I’m writing this post having already moved back to the city, seeing these lovely mountain views again makes me already ancy to get back in the fresh air!
Why yes, we did play in the tomato plants. 
Then it was time for the ceremony, on the back lawn with the mountains as a back drop. Kelly and Ian wrote their own vows and were married by their brothers, you can’t ask for more then that. Beautiful.
So happy!
After the ceremony, it was time for lawn games for all before the reception in the barn.
In lieu of a traditional wedding cake, they had Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cake! Yep, it was the BEST!
Right at sunset, Kelly and Ian let me steal them for a few more quick photos, some of my favorite images of the night. Golden hour with a moon rise? Yes, please.
Kelly and Ian, thank you so very much for having me, you guys were fantastic.
Best wishes to you both! Congratulations!

Kelly and Ian were married yesterday in one of my new favorite Vermont venues, The West Monitor Barn. They had a gorgeous day, and they’ll be lots more photos to come!
Congrats to you both and enjoy your trip to Quebec!
Sarah & Brianna | Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer | Circa 1799 Barn
Oh you guys. This wedding. One of my most favorite of the year. This was one of those weddings were I just stood there and was like, “You know what? My job can be pretty fantastic.” Sarah and Brianna are two amazing women who had an equally amazing wedding this fall in the teeny town of Acramdale, NY at the Circa 1799 Barn. The skies were threatening rain all day, but things held out until right before the reception, so everything worked out great!
Aren’t they gorgeous?
I LOVE country weddings, and the scenery around this place was beautiful.
You two together just make me smile.
Yep. Rolling mountain countryside, you are wonderful.
Now, I will never suggest a jumpy photo, as I know some people are anti the cheesy stuff. However, if someone suggests it to ME, then I’m more then happy to oblige! And holy moly, these guys rocked it! This photo makes me laugh every time I look at it.
After portraits, Brianna and Sarah were married in a beautiful ceremony under a huge tree on the lawn.
They danced out to Jay-Z’s Empire State of Mind. Awesomesauce.
I loved their photo table numbers!
:-).
After a delicious dinner, it was time for a barn dance!
My favorite part though might have been the honeymoon surprise. Sarah and Brianna’s friends all chipped in to get them a surprise trip to Maine! The look on their faces was priceless!
Sarah and Brianna, thank you for being awesome! I couldn’t have had more fun at your wedding! Thanks times a million for having me! Congratulations!!
Ariana & Andi | Connecticut Wedding Photographer | Lyman Orchards Homestead
Ariana and Andi were married this September in a beautiful afternoon wedding at the Lyman Orchards Homestead just outside of New Haven. They are another one of my couples from OBB, and were awesome to work with. Both these guys are so laid back, Ariana might be one of the most chill brides ever.
The weather was threatening rain the whole morning, but it managed to hold off long enough for them to have an outdoor ceremony officiated by one of their friends and then we even got in portraits through a few sprinkles before the rain really came down.
I LOVE country/farm weddings, and this homestead made for a beautiful backdrop!
Short dress and flats, my kind of girl.
Her mom made the flowers out of fabric! Aren’t they pretty?
Oh yes. They had a ring cow! Because why would you not?
Lovely outdoor ceremony on the lawn.
And then off for portraits after making things official!
I love Ariana’s glasses!
My favorite.
After portraits, we had brunch, and instead of cake there was pie for everyone! Awesome!
Ariana and Andi, thanks so much for having me! Congrats and best wishes!
Sarah and Mark | New Jersey Wedding Photography
Sarah and Mark came to me via Offbeat Bride, one of my most favorite places to get referrals! They were married last weekend at the beautiful Perona Farms in New Jersey. I love shooting in the city, but I really love getting the chance to get out to different settings, and the grounds of this venue were gorgeous!
For a farm wedding, most people would envision simple flats… not Sarah. This girl had perhaps the most amazing wedding shoes ever!
Isn’t she gorgeous?
Sarah and Mark wrote their own vows, but instead of reciting them in front of everyone, they had their own private moment to share them before the ceremony.
Love the different colored dresses for the bridesmaids!
These guys were all about having a fun on their wedding day.
They were married in the apple orchard on the grounds, no blossoms quite yet, but still lovely.
Fun details at the reception.
Sarah and Mark, you guys were such a fun couple to work with, I wish you many years of happiness! Thanks so much for having me!
