This amazing spot is gorgeous no matter what the weather is. Sunday's elopement may have been soggy but, it was oh so warm, bright and full of love as K & M said "I do".

Friday's wedding brought me to a new place...the Redstone Rocket in Warren, NH. A unique location for a wonderful couple who renew their vows every year on their anniversary. This year they celebrated their 10th anniversary by saying "I Do" (again) in front of this rocket surrounded by some music, laughter and activity from some local events going on. It was a wonderful evening celebrating love. 🚀💕

Hard to believe it was a week ago that we were at the gorgeous celebrating Gabie & Alec. It was an amazing weekend away with some wonderful people and amazing scenery.

After a passing shower we had a sweet little elopement this evening at Echo Lake in beautiful Franconia Notch. This spot and it's beauty never cease to amaze me.

Finally made my way to the beautiful for Karen & Ralph's wedding yesterday. This venue has been on my want to visit list for a while. And, it was definitely worth the wait!
With guests circled around us at the fireplace the bride made her entrance down the staircase into the beautiful front room. Surrounded by the love of family and friends they said "I do". It was a magical day. Congratulations to you and your families!

What a perfect NH fall day yesterday for Casey & Mike's wedding on the Jewel Terrace at the beautiful
And, meet everyone's friend, Louis who made his entrance down the aisle to "Wildthing".
Their ceremony was fun, sweet and perfectly them. It was a honor to be part of it. Congratulations to you and your families!

This local Airbnb is such a gem. I absolutely love officiating weddings here! N & N said "I do" surrounded by their closest family and friends and it was perfect in every way. And how cute is the little car their baby girl made her way down the aisle in???

I just cannot get enough of this gem of a spot! It was an absolute pleasure to be back at for Olive and Walter's wedding this weekend. This riverside ceremony spot is beyond stunning and it brings a sense of serenity and peace that is hard to explain. It was a perfect day for our beautiful couple. Congratulations to you and your families!

The crazy weather this summer continues. We dodged showers between yesterday's rehearsal and were awarded with this amazing view . Then the rain moved in again for the ride back. But...🌈!
Looking forward to being back today for Colleen & Tim's ceremony and some more blue skies 🤞

How about this for a beautiful wedding spot? We all threw our shoes off and walked across to this rock for S & M's wedding this evening. It was beautiful and the water felt great. Can't say I had ever done a ceremony barefoot before tonight. But, wading through the water and feeling that rock under your feet, surrounded by the river and so much beauty and love felt pretty great.

I often say I get to meet the nicest people and go to most beautiful places doing what I do. And, that was indeed the case on Sunday. Originally scheduled for Monday, after following the weather forecast my couple inquired about moving their ceremony to Sunday. And, I am so glad they did. It was a perfect day! Nancy & John were surrounded by their families, the wildflowers and the mountains as they said "I do". It was a privilege to be part of it. ♥️🌻☀️
Afterwards I spent some time exploring the trails and truly cannot wait to go back.

This past Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day for Alicia & Zach. The hydrangeas were blooming, the skies were blue and the sun was shining. We shared their love story and they exchanged vows they had written for each other. Everything was beyond beautiful and I could not be happier for them. ♥️

What a BEAUTIFUL day for a wedding! I absolutely love the "aisle" at this gorgeous wedding spot on the resort. Today Anna & Joshua were surrounded by their friends, family and the amazing backdrop where they shared their own personal vows to one another. There were lots of smiles and happy tears. Congratulations to you!

After a complete soaker of a day the rain stopped, the sun made an appearance and we got Kate & Bill's ceremony in. I am so happy for them that Mother Nature cooperated and they got to have their wedding in their dream location! There was a lot of love, light, smiles, happy tears and a few laughs. They were surrounded by their friends & family, including their beautiful pup Madison as they said "I do". Congratulations to you and your families!

Thursday evening's elopement brought me to the Littleton Covered Bridge. It was a beautiful evening to take in the sunshine, the sound of the Ammooosuc River and be surrounded by so much love and happiness. Names are omitted to give our lovebirds time to share their news ♥️♥️

Today's wedding brought me to this beautiful spot along the Israels River alongside a covered bridge. And it was a perfect day for it. The sun was shining bright and the smiles even brighter. Congratulations to you and your families! I am leaving names out of post for now until the newlyweds have a chance to share their good news.

Love has definitely been in the air in the White Mountains putting me a little behind on sharing. Last Saturday Alex & Izzy said "I do" surrounded by their family and friends on at the top of Bretton Woods. It was chilly and skies were threatening at times. But, the amount of love, warmth and laughter that surrounded us was undeniably amazing. It was also great working with such a great team and everything was beautiful. Thank you for the honor of sharing in your big day!

Magical backdrop for this evening's elopement at the gorgeous
From the moment I opened the car door on arrival and was swept away by the incredible scent of lilacs, apple blossoms and fresh rain I knew this evening was going to be fabulous. As we stepped through this beautiful gate into the garden it just all fell into perfect place. Congratulations to my couple (who I am not identifying to give them time to share their big news)!

That's a wrap. And what a great way to close out my wedding season...with 2 elopements and a ceremony at the beautiful Cascade Park in North Woodstock. Congratulations to all my couples today. And thank you all for the privilege of sharing in your big day!

Fingers crossed Mother Nature cooperates with us and we get Miranda and Taylor's ceremony in between showers. It is always beautiful here with or without the 🌞.

Absolutely awesome view from this spot for yesterday's vow renewal at the couple's home. Just when I think New Hampshire cannot get any more beautiful I get blown away all over again. Celebrating love, meeting some of the nicest people and going to the most beautiful places are all perks of what I do...and I love every minute of it! Congratulations to Meegan & Shane and best wishes for continued love, health and happiness!

My "office" view today (from under the arbor at the gorgeous Bellevue Barn). An absolutely iconic NH Fall day. Pinch me... doesn't get any better than this!

It may have been a soggy afternoon yesterday for Sherry & Ryan's wedding but, the love and light surrounding them definitely was brighter than the sunniest of days.
Exchanging their personally written vows under a shared umbrella was not only perfect but, a privilege to witness. Cheers to a live full of love, health and happiness ♥️

And how about this backdrop for Samantha and Jake's wedding on Friday at the beautiful ?
It was a perfect New England September day as they said "I do" surrounded by their family and friends. Congratulations to you!

What do you do when your plans for Sunday are going on a motorcycle ride with a friend and you get a call from a couple looking to elope in one the prettiest places in the state? You make a modification to your route and make a stop along the way to marry them. And then finish out your ride before the rain comes in.
I tried out a phone holder so I could use my gps to find wedding location and somehow took a selfie of me laughing at myself struggling with the GPS. And yes, I wore my officiating clothes while riding...not typical motorcycling attire 🤣

You know it's going to be a GREAT wedding day when this is your ride to the ceremony ♥️⛰️🏍️
