Amanda and Jason are a stupendously, awesomely, wonderfully unique couple. When Amanda reached out to discuss booking her wedding day, she mentioned that it would be non-traditional, and this made me {more than} a little giddy. But THEN I arrived at their sweet Boston apartment and saw their gorgeously awesome venue, and I became ridiculously enamored with e-v-e-r-y detail. You can be absolutely certain that any bride and groom who brews their own beer as a wedding favor is going to have some seriously good taste. Amanda and her bridesmaids spent the morning as any reasonable group of ladies would – watching Disney movies <3 Their beautiful hair and makeup were done by the talented Sydney Lauren Robinson of SLR Makeup {seriously – check her out}. When everyone was ready, we headed over to the wicked cool Waterworks Museum in Boston, where the ceremony took place. I loved the vintage-y feel of this place, and we had fun exploring the corners and stairwells to find places for some portraits. The reception followed at the trendy Bella Luna restaurant where dinner was a PIZZA BAR! So snazzy!! And delicious. It should also be noted that there were BOARD GAMES and, my personal favorite – cupcakes. On their invitations, Amanda and Jason referred to their reception as an after-wedding soirée – and it was just that. A relaxed, celebratory atmosphere where some awesome people spent time with the ones they love. How cool.
Thanks for stoppin’ on by!

Okay, so, let me start by saying – I am beyond thankful that I was the photographer blessed with the opportunity to work with this amazingly sweet couple. Carrie and Doug were so kind and genuine, and their wedding day was just perfect and everything they deserved. They got ready at the Farmington Inn in the quaint town of Farmington, Connecticut. The rest of the day took place just down the road, at the beautiful Farmington Gardens. The ceremony location was a photographer’s dream – a spectacular greenhouse flooded with glorious natural lighting. Oh and some lovely Chinese lanterns… a detail that I always love. The weather was just about perfect, too – very warm for this early spring day in March – which allowed us to get outside and take some portraits in the field just behind the venue. Then it was on to the celebration – a pretty sweet beer-themed reception. Each table was labeled with the names of some of Carrie and Doug’s favorite breweries. And to add to the awesome, this bride and groom surprised their guests with a wicked hilarious first dance… you’ll see ;-) Another surprise took place later, one that the bride didn’t even know about… a tear-jerking rendition of “Sweet Caroline” played on the acoustic guitar by her father, while the guests sang along – some with kazoos in hand. It was a stunning evening, and I was beyond thrilled to be a part of it. Thank you, ever so much, for inviting me to share in the love and fun of your wedding day, Carrie and Doug!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for stopping by!! xo, Courtney

Gabe and Kara’s wedding took place at the beautiful Inn at Valley Farms in Walpole, New Hampshire. And by beautiful I kind of mean breath-taking. The country setting was so relaxing, which fit just perfectly with Kara and Gabe’s personalities. And Kara’s bouquet… oh my, I drooled over the bright blues and greens and purples {and took lots of pictures}. Their reception was pretty rad too – with contra dancing and a traditional Jewish wedding dance called the Hora. The whole day was just lots and lots of fun. It was quite the toasty July summer day here in New Hampshire, but the heat certainly agreed with this gorgeous bride and groom. I’m sure you’ll agree ;-) Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by! xo, Courtney
