What an amazing day April and Eric had for their wedding in Vermont. The weather during the day was very similar to the weather we had during their engagement session, the worry of a little rain early in the day quickly squelched by an absolutely beautiful day as the skies cleared.
They had their ceremony at Mead Chapel on the campus of Middlebury College, which was significant for them as Middlebury grads. The reception was at April’s brother’s house in South Burlington, VT, which had beautiful views of Lake Champlain and the mountains.
April, Eric, and all of their friends and family were such wonderful people to work with during this wedding. We had lots of fun, and I really happy with all of the photos we captured. Here’s a preview of some of my favorites.
Congratulations April & Eric. I’m so happy for the two of you!

I saw a beautiful sunset happening, so I quickly grabbed April and Eric for a quick photo across the street. Their first sunset as a married couple!

Steve,
Thank you for being the best photographer we could have ever hoped for. You not only did you capture hundreds of the special moments of our wedding day, but you were also so wonderful to work with. From arriving early to check out the ceremony location, to using your artistic eye to find special settings for photos (like the sunset across the street), to speaking French with the non-English-speaking family members–you were just amazing! Thank you very much for your attention to detail, patience, smile, talents, and friendliness! We love these photos and will treasure them for the rest of our lives!
Thanks again for everything and we’ll be in touch,
April and Eric
