Amy + Ryan's Monsoon Wedding!

Amy + Ryan's wedding at The Mountain Top Inn & Resort was a celebration like no other. So I am going to post a handful of my favorites and then you can watch their slideshow at the end to get the real feel of the day. Andy and I were so fortunate to have been able to capture the joy, love, laughter and rain drops from this extra special day!!

Amy admires her gorgeous Monique Lhuillier gown.
Did I mention how pretty her dress was?
I was crazy about the curlers!!
elegant shoes.
Andy captured this vintage-like photo of Ryan in a mirror.
I love the happiness here as Amy's dad walks her to the car.
Amy + Ryan wanted a first look and I love this series!!



family fun!!
the beautiful bride!!
A couple of my favorite moments from the Ketubah signing. It was so sweet that Amy held hands with her dad.

Cute ring shot...
Ryan and his parents head to the ceremony.
The sky was looking a little ominous.
A couple raindrops fell and some smiles and umbrellas appeared. The Rabbi reminded everyone that they wouldn't melt and he carried on...
A few more raindrops fell and this little guy caught some of them...
I think this was about the last "normal" ceremony photo...(The gorgeous trellis and other beautiful flower arrangements were created by the amazing Nancy Murray with A Schoolhouse Garden.)
And the rest were a bit unconventional :-)...
How much do you love the guy with the chair?!?
The expressions were priceless!
The completely fabulous Janna saved the day and my camera with her little umbrella and her huge smile. Andy was saved by Chelsea, the resort's wedding planner.
The kiss was beautiful!!
Then Ryan picked up his new bride and ran for cover.
Still a little soggy, but blissfully happy!
Just before dark we took a few fun and romantic photos.
The first dance.
The seafood appetizers were AMAZING!The party was wild!!

Ryan's brother had the whole place roaring with laughter during the roast, oops, I mean toast.
Cheers to Amy and Ryan!!


Okay now get your tissues, get comfy and CLICK HERE to watch their slideshow.

There is an old saying that wet knots are harder to untie, so Amy + Ryan, your knot will be unbreakable! xoxo

Patty + Pete's Fabulous Wedding Festivities!

To wrap up our wonderful wedding season, Andy and I photographed the wedding of one of the most fun couples of all times...Patty and Pete! They were happily married at Christ the King church in Rutland and celebrated their union at the Mountain Top Inn in nearby Chittenden.

It was a destination wedding for the newlyweds and most of their friends and family had never been to Vermont. Unfortunately, our fine state greeted them one of the darkest, rainiest weekends I can remember. Fortunately, these people make their own sunshine with their joie de vivre--their cheerful enjoyment of life!

I think Andy and I giggled through their entire reception. I thought the highlight of the night was the collection of mullet wigs and assorted hats that were so fashionably seen on guests young and old. However, when the Mountain Top staff dragged out a giant ladder, I knew the best was yet to come. Pete's family has a unique tradition of cracking an egg from atop a ladder with the target being the mouth of the person below. Even Patty came out of hiding to play along. It was hilarious!

Enjoy some of my favorite moments from their amazing day!














The gorgeous flower arrangements were created by Nancy from A Schoolhouse Garden.
