Kristen and Mark are too cute and we’re so excited about their wedding. The sad news is we have to wait almost a whole year! I was happy to have these two up to the farm recently to have a fun engagement session with the last of the fall splendor. Their photographic guest book is off to the printer … maybe if you say “please” they’ll let you sneak a peak at it before their big day … or maybe they’re going to keep it a secret until the big day next October!
Samm is a delight. She dances in the same dance group as Brittni and after hearing how much fun Brittni had … Samm sent an email to figure out a time we could get together for her session. We had so much fun walking around St. Albans, Vermont to find a variety of urban and foliage options and even using the dance studio at Bellows Free Academy for a range of images that truly show what makes Samm the beautiful person she is on the inside and out.
Just waiting for her canvases to arrive from the printer and I’ll be off to deliver those as well as her accordion wallets, prints, and other goodies. I can’t wait!
Ashlie plays the bass clarinet (which is cool all on its own) AND she plays for a Youth Symphony Orchestra in Montpelier. I am very impressed. When I learned about her musical passion I was so so so excited to include her instrument in her senior session. During our originally scheduled date … it rained. No worries. I said it would be fun to do half the session in the rain and do the rest on an alternate date. We left the clarinet home during the rain session. I’m not so musical and don’t even pretend to know the first thing about playing an instrument but bringing one outside in the rain seemed not so wise. Ashley was awesome in the rain … so much so that we had to pull out an umbrella to even show that it was raining 
When they voted it was unanimous that I am the least sports-aware person the planet. BUT I know Amiee and Troy wouldn’t pass a chance to shoot some hoops (or whatever) at their wedding when given the chance! So when we found we had a half hour with nothing pressing on their wedding day (and when does that happen?!?) we jumped at the chance to pile the wedding party in the car for a quick trip to a nearby court to shoot some hoops. How cool is that?!
It’s very cool. So cool it deserved it’s own blog post. There are more pictures from Amiee and Troy’s beautiful wedding at The Towers in Narragansett in Rhode Island on the Brown Eyed Photography fan page. I’ll be sure to share more from their day on the blog in the near future.
For now, let’s play!
Oh blog. I know, it’s been a while. Life keeps happening. I had to had to make time to share wedding photography from Stephanie and Mike’s outdoor wedding. Stephanie is the kindest person ever and it’s so very sweet to see Mike melt a little when he’s with Stephanie. The beauty of their wedding was so perfect for them – the day just had their personality all over it!
Stephanie arranged to have a horse drawn carriage bring her to the ceremony location. She’s had a long history with horses and this was a way to incorporate her love of horses. The horse has had an interesting past and definitely knew how to bring a girl to her wedding in high style!
Stephanie and Mike combined different colored sand to symbolize the shared life they will have together. What an awesome reminder to keep in their new home of their wedding day commitment.
During the last song all of the guests surrounded Stephanie and Mike as they danced their last dance on their wedding day. It was beautiful. Definitely a hide-behind-the-camera-so-no-one-sees-you-tearing-up moment.
… they were almost the last ones to leave. First making sure Mike’s grandmother received an impressive number of “one more hug”‘s and thanking friends and family members who were on their way to Stephanie’s parents for an after-wedding party (that we were kindly also invited to … and sadly declined) … and then they were off …
… first one quick stop up the road. On the way in to the ceremony/reception location I noticed a sign near the entrance saying “free kittens call …”
Stephanie was so excited! She and Mike and agreed to get a cat (but Stephanie really wanted a kitten) as a wedding gift to each other after their honeymoon. While at their reception Stephanie and Mike (I’ll admit, it was mostly Stephanie) asked the owners of the ceremony/reception location about the kittens. There were two left, right up the driveway in a nearby barn.
The couple stopped by the barn on their way out of town.
Do you think they chose only one? No way. Two kittens went home with Stephanie and Mike after their honeymoon and have settled in well.
Catherine contacted me about a month ago to ask about a maternity session after she fell in love with her images from her last pregnancy. Since her last pregnancy we’ve moved … far away. But thankfully we have plenty of weddings booked in the RI area and I was happy to offer to come down to RI for a maternity session on a Sunday after a wedding in Southern MA. It was a thrill to see Catherine again and her daughter who is now 14mos old!
I don’t really know. I must confess, I have not seen ALL of Cupp’s wedding cakes but this one has to be one of the best. The detail and color was perfect and was clearly designed to fit right into the beautiful details at Michael and Arik’s wedding. Thank you Cupp’s for a job exceptionally well done!
Arik and Michael definitely didn’t disappoint with their spectacular details. I didn’t expect any less of them really. Do you see the windmills? I love them. More pictures to come – think spectacular cake and all the other awesome fun you can have on Church St. in Burlington and a cruise on Lake Champlain. Yeah. Pretty much perfect.
