Deanna and Steve got married under a brilliant blue New England sky at the beautiful Barrett orchard in Keene. It was a gorgeous outdoor setting for a gorgeous couple. They’re the kind of couple that doesn’t just hug, they jump into each other’s arms. The kind of couple that quotes Winnie the Pooh in their wedding ceremony. The kind of couple who’s unique, thoughtful, romantic, vibrant and full of contagious joy and energy. This joy and energy carried through the night as they danced, played musical chairs and ate delicious pies alongside their closest friends and family at the Walpole Town Hall.

It was very special for me to be a part of such an important day for Deanna and Steve. I first met Deanna when she was my daughter’s 2nd grade and theater teacher. She’s since become a good friend and great influence for my daughter. I was honored when she asked me to photograph her wedding and thrilled to find out she would be teaching Eliza again in the 4th grade.

Congratulations, Deanna and Steve!

I love the feelings of excitement and anticipation leading up to the wedding ceremony.

What’s a wedding without a cute flower girl?

…and handsome ring bearers.

Their wedding ceremony was filled with emotion and sweet expressions like this one.

It was a perfect summer afternoon for portraits.

The wedding reception was at the Town Hall in Walpole, NH.

Did I mention they had a table full of delicious pies?

Best wishes to the two of you.

I had a sense I would really enjoy working with Kim and Craig from the moment I first met them, and that was feeling was confirmed during their engagement session this week. We had a welcome break from the rain here in New England, and for a change I actually had to hide from the sun a little during our morning session at the Keene Country Club. Their wedding will be there next year, so it was a good opportunity for the three of us to take a look at the photographic opportunities we would have.

We had lots of fun and laughs. This session got me really excited to be their wedding photographer.
