We are based in Brandon, Vermont, and one of my favorite venues in the whole state is almost literally, in our backyard – the Lilac Inn. One of the things they do particularly well is a micro wedding. The setting is intimate, beautiful and bright, even on a slushy winter day. Many of you know […]

Live wedding painting? Is it for you? Have you considered having a live wedding painting of your big day? Many of our couples have hired a live painter to document their day, and we are always awed by the beautiful scenes they recreate. There are a huge range of styles and mediums to check out. […]

I knew these days were on the horizon, but I’m still not prepared for how quickly they have arrived. Rhiannon, my daughter (and 2nd shooter), has reached that age where her friends are starting to get married and/or start families of their own. Several years ago I was shooting their senior sessions, and with sweet […]

I have to ask the question. Can you really call yourself a Vermont wedding photographer if you haven’t shot an engagement session in 15°F with the wind coming in strong off of Lake Champlain? I don’t feel like I’d really earned my New England photographer street cred until last week when I met Katelin and […]

DesMarais Farm – Brandon, Vermont’s Newest Wedding Venue It’s been a cold and dreary day here in Vermont (sadly sans snow). So let’s flash back to last July when we spent the afternoon exploring DesMarais Farm which is just down the road from our studio in Brandon, Vermont. They opened as a Vermont wedding venue […]

As far as Vermont wedding venues go, this one was a stunner. Hannah loves sunflowers. And in one of the most romantic grand gestures we’ve ever witnessed, Richie and his family planted acres and acres and acres of them on their farm in Rutland, Vermont just so Hannah and Richie would be surrounded by them […]

Sam’s Taekwondo Senior Session I’m a big believer in embracing who our children really are. So, when I talk to high school seniors about capturing their senior sessions, I always encourage them to consider multiple outfits and locations for us to utilize when we shoot their senior portraits. If they’re involved in any kind of […]

As fairly new Vermont wedding photographers, we’ve been anxiously awaiting a wedding at the timeless and elegant Hildene Estate Wedding in Manchester, Vermont. It was everything we hoped for and more. Nestled between the Taconic and Green Mountains in Vermont is the glorious Hildene Estate. Hildene was the summer home of Abraham Lincoln’s son Robert […]

Love in the time of coronavirus. A year ago today, Governor Scott put Vermont under a stay at home order. We were planning to photograph Hannah and Eric’s wedding a few weeks later, but they are first responders, and were concerned that they might have to wait months before they’d be able to start their […]

Vermont Micro Wedding Oh how I love a Vermont micro wedding! Every now and then, there’s an image which I know will stay with me forever. This is one of them. Kristin and Steve chose to say their vows with just three of us to witness the moment. It was intense and beautiful, as sweet […]
