Okay, I just got home from the sweetest newborn shoot with 6 day old, Carter. He was such a sweet little boy and although it will be a few days before I post more from his session, here is one that I’m just in love with….Ahhhh, how I love newborns

I first met Kim & Jon at Lisa & Matt’s wedding a little over a year ago. Kim was her maid of honor and just a week later, was engaged herself! So this wedding was extra special since it was a friend of a past bride. I did their engagements back in November and just fell in love with them both. I knew that their wedding day would be so much fun and I am so excited that I was able to be a part of it! Here are a few from their wedding day! Enjoy…


It was nice because before we left the hotel to head to the church, we had some extra time to take advantage of a few pictures. I typically don’t do portraits in the hotel room, but with this amazing light and a gorgeous bride, how could I not?!!
Kim, you know how to work-it.
Her beautiful bouquet by A Bevy Of Blossoms.
Kim & Jon decided to do a first look which was perfect. Their wedding was later in the evening and we would have missed out on all of this amazing light outside! Ohh how I love First Looks!!












Their church had extremely strict rules for the photographers. Absolutely no flash, stay on the balcony and no moving around. Well I am the type of photographer who ask for forgiveness, not permission. I had talked with Kim before the wedding and she told me to do whatever I had to do to get the shots. “It’s not like they are going to stop the wedding because you walked up a few isles. Well I literally walked up to the first pew, very discretely of course and never even used my flash so no one knew that I was there. SO worth it to get these pictures
And as you can see, this church is huge so it would have been impossible to get these photos from the balcony!!


I have to thank my amazing, can’t-live-without-you assistant, Jette for taking such good care of me. Being three months pregnant and photographing a wedding isn’t the easiest thing to do. So Jette, thanks for running to get me water, carrying my bags and hunting down an amazing dinner for me. You are my hero – xxoo.
I really don’t even know where to start with Jenni & Mark’s amazing Vermont wedding. I can sum it up in one word – LIFE-CHANGING. Well, maybe that’s two words but it pretty much describes how I felt. Dawn and I flew out to Vermont not knowing what to expect. I had always heard of how amazing it was, how beautiful it was but honestly, until you are there – you can’t even begin to explain the beauty of this place. It’s the kind of place that anyone can live. You could be in a small shack with no running water and be happier than you ever imagined. It’s a humbling place and I was so honored to have had the chance to drive through the country side with my best friend, windows rolled down and music muffled in the background. This weekend changed me, changed us and we are better photographers for having this experience.
So we arrived in Vermont a few days before the wedding to make sure that we had plenty of time to adjust and get familiar with the place. What we really should say is that we wanted to do all the touristy things that we could possibly fit in so that’s what we did. We went to the lobby of our small hotel, picked up any flyer that sounded remotely interesting and we planned our day around chocolate, maple syrup and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. It was an amazing road trip and I think that we both had way too much fun. I mean, we really get paid for this?!?!!! Here are a few pictures from our personal album…
One of our many road side stops because really, how can you NOT stop and take this in?
We stopped at the maple syrup farm and picked up some goodies for our husbands back home. Such a neat little place.


So Sunday morning we woke up to the sound of rain. Bummer. We were optimistic though. We showed up to the Alerin Barn and we were blown away. This place was unlike anything that we have ever seen. Talk about being inspired!!!
And the inside, just about the coolest thing we have ever seen…






Everywhere you turned, the details just popped out at you. 


Jenni being the fabulous bride that she is, bought a fancy pair of rain boots since it was obvious that the rain wasn’t letting up. LOVE HER!!!



My point of view…
and Dawn’s…
Her incredible bouquet that I was a little obsessed with. 
Jenni & Mark decided to do a first look to allow plenty of time for their pictures
The rain stopped just long enough for their portraits so we were able to really take advantage of the amazing property at the Alerin Barn!


This place was truly amazing. I think that the rainy, drizzly day just added to it and made even more special. I just LOVED everything about it!!!





one more of her gorgeous bouquet…

Love this one!!!
Gorgeous Jenni who we could have photographed all day…






Then it was off to the simply beautiful ceremony….









So needless to say, we had an amazing weekend full of so many fun things and great people that we met. Words can’t begin to describe what a good time that we had and how fortunate we are to do what we love, together. We are so thankful to get to travel the world and document such amazing couples on their wedding day. Know someone having a destination wedding? Check out our Two Chicks Photography site!! Here is one last picture taken at about 6:30 in the morning at the airport on our way home. We look pretty rough but it’s only because we had a blast… I had so much fun with you Dawn!! I can’t WAIT to see you in December for our Jamaica wedding!!!
