September in New England is such a wonderful time for a wedding, and Courtney and Derek had it at its best. Their wedding was at Courtney’s aunt’s house in Reading, Vermont, a perfect venue for this blue sky day. There were outstanding photographic opportunities, and I had a great time capturing memories of their day.
