You may recall the uber adorable Katie + McKew from their engagement session this past summer. After spending an afternoon with them in Burlington, I was really looking forward to their wedding. It was a beautiful day and everything was even more wonderful than I had imagined. What I didn’t expect was the work that Katie put into her day. She was quite the Do-It-Yourself bride and the details were so lovely. Among other things, she grew flowers in her garden for the arrangements, hand-crafted little cozies for the vases, and even presented us with our very own cute-as-could-be blue bear to take home. I’m excited to share the people and things that made their day so special!
Here we go…
Katie was so relaxed and radiant!

Cute shoes and a cool old trunk at the Inn at Shelburne Farms where Katie + her girls got ready.

I live for moments like these.

Katie and her dad walk down the aisle.

The ceremony begins.

Why sit when you can lie on the grass.

There’s no better back drop than this for a ceremony.


S.W.A.K.!

Husband + wife!

I loved all of these fun details!

Also loved the rainbow of colors!

It’s always fun to catch the groom playing with his new ring.

The girls.

The boys.

Time for some photos of the newlyweds!








Starline Rhythm Boys were here…

The toasts were very entertaining…obviously.![]()

You can’t beat the pretty sunsets on Lake Champlain.

Happily ever after….

Oh, and I can’t forget our little blue bear friend! Thanks so much Katie!! xo
