When John and Cathy described the venue for their small, private wedding ceremony, it sounded beautiful, and they were right. This was the first time I had been to St. Francis Chapel on Stone Pond, and I felt like I was driving along a remote loch in Scotland as I arrived. Like many days this summer in New England, there was rain in the forecast. Fortunately the rain held off, and the entire setting was shrouded in a lovely mist.
It was a wonderful ceremony, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to photograph their wedding. John & Cathy are very warm and kind people, which really shows in the photographs of them.

The architecture of the chapel was striking.

Cathy's bouquet was vibrant and beautiful. Very fitting for her.
It was a nice intimate ceremony with just Cathy, John, the minister, his wife and two witnesses. There is not electricity in the chapel, but great natural light through the windows.

Happily married.
Cause to celebrate. The glass in Cathy's right hand is one they brought for me. I was touched by how thoughtful they were to include me in their celebration.
