Amanda + Jeff's Lake View Wedding!

Amanda and Jeff a.k.a. "Jeffanda" were married on the most perfect day in July on a hillside overlooking Lake Champlain. I was extra excited for this wedding because over the last year and a half since I met Amanda, she has become a special friend and blossomed into a very talented photographer. I adore her and her family and friends and have loved watching her take flight with her photography business. She is simply wonderful and she and Jeff are made for each other!
I am delighted to finally share a (big) handful of my favorites from their day...

a little spritz of perfume...
Amanda's dress was custom made in Burlington, so the fittings gave her the perfect excuse to visit her beloved Vermont many times before the wedding.
Jeff prepares for the day...
details, details...
and more charming details...

the finishing touches...
The cutest ring shot of all times!!
Amanda and Jeff opted for a "first look" before the ceremony. I love this moment that Andy captured as Jeff waits for his bride-to-be.



We had a little time for some relaxed portraits before meeting up with the wedding party. I love these...


A little sun flare magic...
polka dots and seersucker and other things blue...
The ceremony begins with Amanda and her dad and a little teardrop...Jeff awaits her arrival...
oops...a little veil snafu!
The tree canopy was so beautiful!
Strider, the dog of honor, rests his eyes because ceremonies are very long in dog time.

Notice the paparazzi during the ceremony! More about them later. :-D



Amanda's dad blesses the rings as they are passed in a circle of loved ones.

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!
