“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.

“We wanted our wedding to be small and personal, and all about family. Mitch built the arbor we were married under from wood from the property in Westmoreland. We had so many family members participate: Mitch’s brother Bob married us, his brother Ed was a groomsman, and his nephew Dan was his  best man.  My sisters Anne and Kate were my bridesmaids and readings were done by Mitch’s daughters, Ivy and Fallon and my nieces Dorothy, Violet, and Claire. Our cake was made by Mitch’s niece Kate and our band was headed up by his nephew Chris. Lastly, my nephew Will walked me down the aisle and to top it all off our Labradoodle Finn was our ring bearer!” – Chaipel

“There really were many factors that went into why we decided to elope. Ultimately it just felt right for us. Being able to focus on each other, our commitment to each other, and just enjoying the company of each other on this special day was amazing. I will cherish how I felt on that day forever.”  – Jessica

“Immediately after our first look and private vows, the winds picked up, they skies turned grey and there was rain on the horizon (the forecast had called for sun and zero percent chance of rain). The next couple of hours were a rollercoaster of emotions and decisions. At first, the radar looked gloomy and as though the storm wouldn’t pass for a while. The decision was made to move the flowers and “stumpaltar” from the ceremony field to under the tent. The groomsmen were tasked and they graciously – without complaint, in the pouring rain – moved everything themselves. Tom, our parents and some close family friends were carefully watching the radar carefully. They calmly walked in to the room full of bridesmaids to tell me that, unfortunately, we were going to have to do the ceremony under the tent. I was surprisingly cool, calm and collected. I took a swig of Whistle Pig and said “ok!”. “ – Sarah

I love places like this because you can feel the ancient history within the layers of rocks. “We chose Moss Glen Falls for our engagement session because both Andrew and I have a deep connection to nature, and feel most comfortable there. “ -Katy

“It was so important to have that time for just Charlie and me. The whole weekend is a happy/wonderful/exciting blur of family, friends, and events. Setting aside time to say our vows to one another and process them was very meaningful. We were able to let our guard down and enjoy the tenderness of the moment.” – Maggie

Nate worked with Grant A. Peacock Jewelers in NYC to design the engagement ring. 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.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is one of my favorite museums in Boston. The art, architecture and flow of the space always fills us my creative cup. I was visiting the museum with Nick and two of my best friends, Kevin & Molly, who recently got engaged and I couldn’t resist taking a few portraits […]
