There was a lot of excitement and anticipation for this wedding, and it was such a beautiful day for Melissa & Kris. I first met them about a year ago, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know them during that time. I connect with many of my clients on Facebook, and I really enjoyed seeing their countdowns and love notes to each other during the last year. They are such a happy couple in love, and they had the wedding day they dreamed of.
Their ceremony was at Saint Mary’s Church in Springfield, VT with the reception in Saxtons River, VT. The photography on their wedding day was really important to Melissa and Kris, so we also took some time to get some nice portraits of them at Herrick’s Cove and in Saxtons River before the reception.
Capturing love, celebration and emotion is what I love about being a wedding photographer, and this day was full of so many of these wonderful moments.

I loved seeing these pics……such a great job Steve! Can’t wait to see them all!
These are wonderful pics! I couldn’t make it to the wedding, so this was the next best thing to being there! I think you really captured the happiness and love that they have for each other.
