Well I am blessed. I was a witness to Anne and Chris' amazing day in Northern Vermont this October. This is the 20 years in the making wedding! They have loved each other for two decades, starting in college. I'm just amazed and so happy for my friend Anne (and for Chris!). The first time I watched this slideshow, I got a little emotional myself! Their day was beautiful. I felt inspired by their ceremony and asked them to send me the questions and answers Chris' uncle (one of the officiants) had them fill out pre-wedding, which he then shared with the friends and family. I could write a book or two about their day, but I'll let the slideshow do most of the talking. 

Amazingly fitting music by the Adam Ezra Group: www.adamezra.com. Thank you for writing the most perfect song for this wedding. Settle in for a long slideshow. The music is great, and once you hit play, you can make it full screen by clicking the little window in the bottom right. Enjoy.

Personally speaking, it was an honor to photograph their wedding. I would have traveled anywhere to be a part of Anne's day. She truly took me under her wing when I was a first year college student, recently diagnosed with Celiac's disease. I was 6 hours from home, navigating the dining hall, finding gluten-free food, etc. She advocated for me and truly helped shape the rest of my college experience by making sure I had plenty to eat in the dining hall. 

Sometimes people go above and beyond for someone, just because. Anne did that for me, and I am forever grateful. 

Meet the sweet Corinne, who is going to be a big sister in a few months. I'm so excited her parents asked me to photograph this sweetie. She was a DREAM to photograph. Every time I'd pick up my camera, she'd say ever-so-softly, "Cheeeeese" with a huge grin. I seriously wanted to take her home. I can't wait until I run into her at a playground or a playgroup again! 

I'm a very lucky photographer. Pauline found me through her brother and sister-in-law, who I have photographed four times now with their growing family. We joked about me being the family photographer. Sounds great to me! I first met Pauline at her nephew's baptism, and I was excited to see her side of the family again. I felt immediately at home upon seeing them all. Such nice families for both her and Wayne.

It was a beautiful wedding at the Hotel Northampton. The best man was the bride's brother, and the maid of honor was the groom's sister. Her dad even officiated the wedding! I loved the intimate feel of this wedding, their focus on family, and how friendly everyone was!

I even reunited with some long-lost friends (an aunt and uncle of the groom). It's true...I know everyone. 

Pauline and Wayne: I hope you enjoy the slideshow. Your day was wonderful, and I can't thank you enough for inviting me to join with you. I had a ball. More pictures coming soon.
