Spencer & Crystal: Sweet Vintage Love

It had been raining for about 5 days prior to Crystal & Spencer’s wedding day, so it had to be sunny, right?  Right!  The sky cleared for May 5th, 2012 and allowed for the beautiful outdoor ceremony they have hoped for at their home in the Jackson, New Hampshire area.  The view was spectacular, and their home has the most incredible birch tree forest!  They hung twinkle lights from the tree’s and Dutch Bloemen Winkel had beautiful flowers sprinkled all over the property, and Crystal’s bouquet was incredible!  So many little details were thought about, and everything just glowed.  Crystal’s dress was an authentic vintage find and she made her hair piece!  She is a hair and makeup artist, so she took care of those details herself.  Additionally, Spencer designed her wedding band, which Crystal never saw until they exchanged their vows, and it was stunning.  One of the most precious moments was when Crystal’s little niece Gemma broke into tears seconds before it was time for her to walk down the aisle.  Crystal scooped her up with her arms, and just filled her with loved and asked if she wanted to walk down with her.  A couple moments later though Gemma was able to do it all on her own!  So sweet!  They cleared out their open concept home to host the reception and dinner, so unique!  To top off the evening they sung a first song together (instead of a first dance) and lovely toasts were made by friends and family.  Congratulations Crystal & Spencer!  Such a special day for a very special couple!

Chris & Mary: Simply Unique Elopement

Well, I just loved these two!  Chris and Mary met and fell in love while they were both in the Peace Corps in Kazakhstan.  They decided to do a very sweet and simple elopement, that was just their style.  And I loved their style!  We met at the Notchland Inn, which is located in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire.  Their grounds are beautiful, and the inn is lovely as well.  We had such fun capturing some sweet and intimate portraits, and also had a lot of fun putting together some fun and quirky ones as well.  What a fun afternoon this was!  Thank you Chris and Mary, I’ll always cherish this special shoot!
