We started this session with some snuggles in bed. While these images may never make it to a Save-The-Date, I really love taking a few minutes to document moments like these. Plus it gave my dog, Zhivago, a chance to sneak into the photoshoot!

You might recognize Nate & Dani from their Elegant Clambake Rehearsal Dinner and their Saltwater Farm Vineyard Wedding in Stonington, Connecticut.

Nate worked with Grant A. Peacock Jewelers in NYC to design this beautiful ring for Dani. Nate’s family has been working with this jeweler for 3 generations, so he knew exactly where to go. The center stone is from Nate’s mom’s mother’s engagement ring and the side stones are from his father’s grandmother’s engagement ring. That’s how you create a family heirloom.

We went into downtown Burlington to walk Church Street and enjoy some beers at The Growler Garage and The Great Northern.

One of my favorite summer activities is kayaking out on Lake Champlain and floating on the water.

I am so excited to photograph their wedding this summer at the Saltwater Farm Vineyard in Stonington, Connecticut!! It’s going to be amazing.
