Margaret & Adam met at a community farm in her Massachusetts hometown about nine years ago. After many adventures together over the years, they bought a farm about three years ago and also have a beautiful 2-year old son Moses…and then it was time to get married! Owning over 100 head of cattle and lots of other animals and farm chores means that free time and wedding planning opportunities were/are at a minimum! Still, they did an incredible job planning their wedding, which couldn’t have been at a more beautiful and perfect setting: underneath a majestic silver maple tree right in the middle of their farm and front yard! After some incredibly fun photos around the farm, we headed to a beautifully restored barn at Hogs Hollow Farm where all the night’s cocktails and partying were held! Enjoy some of our favorites from their incredible day down below!
Some details right at the beginning…I like the save-the-date on the fridge amidst all the other daily chaos!
Gorgeous Margaret with her mom helping get ready!A sweet moment with her parents before heading out!And a very proud dad!And hence you see why they wanted to get married underneath that amazing silver maple! (We were lucky to have no rain for the ceremony…especially because there were huge downpours and storms happening about 50 miles north!Adam’s parents loving the ceremony!A somewhat “serious” portrait…it gets wilder from here!Luckily, we had a hearty crew who, on their own, wanted to go out into the fields with the 100+ cows. We were ecstatic! (Admittedly, sometimes we have to do some serious convincing to brides that it’s ok to walk in your dress…however, we would typically not suggest skirting underneath electrified fences and cruising through cattle fields!) Amazingly, M&A knew all of their cows by name!I always LOVE peonies in bouquets…and the Lily of the Valley makes a perfect boutonniere!We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect portrait scene for the three of them!Hmmm, I think he missed the memo to get in his Wedding best!Totally happy!Of course we had to make good use to all of their beautiful barns! No “pretend” rustic chic here!Sweet!True, loving hands of the land!A peaceful moment…And off to the reception at the Barn at Hogs Hollow Farm in Laurens, NY! More lovely details within the barn…Not sure what they’re saying to Moses…or…what he’s thinking…Love Adam’s mom and all of her coordination of blue!First dance…wait for it…And some more reception fun. I believe the gal dancing with grandma has competed and won many international salsa dancing competitions!Giving seeds is a great idea…the gift that keeps giving! Boots definitely fit the day!A very happy grandma!And lastly…the simple colors and happy moments of life!

Samantha & Jeremy and their two best friends Boulder and Moishe met up with me in Stowe on a lovely spring day for their engagement session. It was a fun and sunny day and I think the dogs had a great dog escaping the city routine and playing in the Stowe creek! Sunshine was abundant so the drying was quick!It was a great precursor to their Stowe wedding at the end of the summer (though slightly different weather!) at the Stowe Mountain Lodge!
Four happy campers! (Well, they’re not camping of course…)A great day for a stroll on the Stowe Recreation Path!The dogs loved the creek! Samantha’s pal Boulder was an old pro fetching…but it was a big milestone for Jeremy’s Moishe as he went swimming for one of the first times!A beautiful field with the Stowe ski area in the back ground…So happy…Disclaimer: there is no Photoshop trickery going on here. Jeremy has a unique talent to float behind trees!One last family portrait!…and there’s no forgetting the gorgeous ring!For more fun make sure to check out their engagement slideshow!

We were treated to another amazing spring day for the engagement session of another amazing couple, Katie & Sam! A day spent around Woodstock and checking out the places for their upcoming wedding, all the while taking some wonderful pictures along the way!! The session was so fun and romantic, so have fun looking at some of our favorites below!
Right on the main drag in Woodstock…(no jewelry purchases on this day!)
And off to the spot for their reception (and impromptu for their ceremony as well…the wedding is coming up soon…)A recipe that requires attitude!May is so wonderful–with the flowering trees, lilacs, and all those spring bulbs and blooms!Borrowed the front of the Woodstock Inn and their Tulips for this shot!They were quite fun (and funny); here, Sam models a somewhat different outfit.And off to the spot of what should’ve been their ceremony site. Unfortunately, before and after the e-session the rain just kept on coming, so the spot around the lake for their ceremony was just too wet. It didn’t stop a beautiful stroll during their session however!! And it afforded a fun wardrobe change as well!Love!Forget-me-nots! They match Katie’s dress beautifully!Pure sweetness!They call this house the “Pink House!”For more spring fun from Katie & Sam, check out their engagement slideshow!!
