Huge congratulations to Jackie & Aaron! Married on Wednesday, they endured the harshest, wildest winds and below freezing temps to realize their dream of having the ceremony by the lake under the gazebo. We were wowed by such dedication, I don't know of many others (or their families!) who would have toughed it out under such brutal conditions! Much love and best wishes for sunnier times, we know you can handle the tough stuff ❤

We love when our "Grand Dame" is shown so much love! Kelli, Tom, and some family were fascinated by it, even though the leaves were becoming scarce by their early November wedding. It's one of the largest of its kind in Vermont. Two of the most asked questions we get are "What kind of tree is that?" followed by, "How old is it?" Can you guess? Bonus points is you can guess its age!

Our barn from a different view. Magic is created when your photographer is 👏 🔥 and can envision all the possibilities a venue has to offer. Our best advice is take your time, do your research, and choose one wisely, there are no do-overs! Zarrah and Seth did just that, and their photos are spectacular!

Congratulations to Kelli & Tom! They married on Saturday with just close family present, making for a relaxed, that was truly gorgeous! Who says bigger is better, certainly not us! Because we didn't get to meet them in person until the wedding, we loved being able to get to know all these warm, sweet people over the weekend (and we especially bonded with them since they and I are also from NJ 🙂). It was the beyond-perfect ending to our season. We wish this beautiful, amazing couple many more gorgeous, joyful moments in the years ahead, and send them much love ❤

Congratulations to Natalie & Kurt! Their intimate this weekend was the most amazing mix of romantic and fun ever! Their weekend was filled with things they loved doing, including dinner aboard the Champlain Valley Dinner Train, then back to the venue to dance by candlelight under the stars at the gazebo. To make their celebration even more memorable, Natalie slipped in a few surprises for Kurt (we'll share our favorite later!) We wish them many years of fun times and beautiful surprises ❤

Congratulations to Aubrey and Chris! Hosting their on Saturday was such an honor and joy! They embraced the soggy weather and focused on what was truly important - each other and the commitment they were making. They were a reminder to us why we adore hosting elopements, and that we really are blessed to work with the most wonderful, warm couples. We have nothing but love for these two, and wish them a lifetime of sunshine and laughing off the rain, no matter what ❤

Last Saturday, out of nowhere, the gray skies erupted into a spectacular burst of fiery colors, just what Carolyn and Eric had been hoping for, but were certain wasn't in the cards that day. It was the perfect end to a perfect celebration, the "family reunion-style" event they had envisioned. We wish them a lifetime of love and many more out-of-nowhere spectacular moments ❤❤❤

Happy First Anniversary, and also Happy Birthday to both Heidi and Patrick!! Needless to say, May 21 had special meaning to them, and we were incredibly honored to host their wonderful families and friends for such a memorable celebration! It was some of the most fun we've ever had at a wedding, and the plus side is they've become friends we've continued to have fun with long afterwards. Here's to another fantastic year to 2 people who know how to get the most fun and joy out of life, love you both ❤️❤️❤️
