On Saturday, June 22, 2019, Nick and I married on the solstice in South Hero, Vermont. This place is very close to our hearts, and I was honored to stand on the same timeless rocks and shoreline that my parents, and many other family members exchanged their vows on. Just a few days earlier, a huge storm had come through the area and knocked down trees and the lawn was collecting puddles. Thanks to the help of more than a few people, everything pulled together and we had a wonderful windy, sunny day.

In “Parks and Rec” the character of Leslie Knope declared that, “February 13th, Galentine’s Day, is about celebrating lady friends.” This was accompanied with a brunch that honored female friendship, camaraderie and waffles. Inspired by this sentiment, Kelly Golia Events and Kate Murtaugh Events + Design brought together an incredible team women to host a Galentine’s Day celebration at The Tannery Loft.

“Aside from the ceremony itself, our “first look” was the most calming and meaningful moment of the day for me – all the anticipation and nerves of the morning melted away as soon as we saw each other, and it was incredible to just take a breath, be together, and acknowledge that the wedding was finally upon us.” – Lizzie

“I love the memory of the moment we snuck away from everything and walked back to the platform in the vines where we had stood hours before during our ceremony. We sat on the platform and just watched the crowd inside–the lights changing colors, the people dancing, the fire pit embers burning down–I’m grateful that we took the time to sit and really soak it all up before the night was over, because it does go by in a flash. Someone came outside and as they opened the door, we heard the DJ announce the last dance–so we went sprinting back inside to catch that last song with our people. It was the perfect end to the night.” – Dani

Dani & Nate held their rehearsal dinner at a private home in Stonington, Connecticut the night before their July wedding. The light was stunning as it streamed through the trees, lighting up the fields and scenery. The catering by 85th Day Food Community was incredible, featuring all local ingredients and a clambake dinner that sent me right to heaven. Toasts and gifts were given at dinner and this intimate evening was a great way to spend quality time with those key people before the big event.

“Right from our first date in early May 2018, I knew that I had found someone special. Gussie’s quick wit and adorable personality lured me in from the moment we met. After our trip in early July to my families lake house in Canada, I knew that she was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It was no surprise to me how easy it was for her to assimilate into not only my immediate family, but extended family as well.” – Connor

Luscious, Italian-inspired editorial at the Cross Street Flower Farm in Norwell, Massachusetts. Favorite details include bouquets filled with pitcher plants and individually framed acrylic pressed flower escort cards!

“There really is no planning around the weather when having a wedding on a mountaintop – mountaintops have there own weather. We had terrible weather, but Kenny and I didn’t let it stop us! We were all freezing, but in that moment it didn’t matter. I was marrying my best friend which was the only thing that mattered in that moment.” – Haley

Natolie & Trent married on October 6, 2018 at a private home nestled in the green mountains of Stowe, Vermont. It was the height of fall foliage, with amber and ochre hues bringing the landscape alive. Natolie & Trent live in Louisiana, and wanted to plan a destination wedding somewhere special to them.  “The beautiful fall colors, the mountains and waterfalls and the gorgeous forests in Vermont were what really inspired us.” – Natolie

This editorial was inspired by the lush, Spring landscape found at Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont. The lodge was founded by the Von Trapp family, best known for inspiring the Sound of Music, and has spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. A collaboration between several different creatives, we wanted to create a romantic, old world inspired session that focused on the vitality of Spring.
