Weddings like Elizabeth and Ben’s this past weekend remind me of how much I enjoy being a wedding photographer. I get to work with wonderful people, photograph them in amazing places, and be a part of a day that is filled with so much love, emotion and celebration.
Elizabeth and Ben had such a great wedding day. They had their ceremony at the beautiful Saint Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish, NH, which in a addition to being a really nice venue for the ceremony also had endless opportunities for portraits after their ceremony. Their reception was across the river in Windsor VT at the fabulous Juniper Hill Inn. The Inn did an excellent job with the reception, and it was great celebration for Elizabeth and Ben.

I love Elizabeth’s expression in this photo. I think it really captures how she was feeling while getting ready for her wedding.
We had great natural window light for this portrait of Elizabeth.

Flowers girls. I love the expression of the younger girl on the left. This was her reaction when she first saw Elizabeth in her wedding gown.
Meanwhile, Ben was getting ready at a nearby family lakehouse.
