Amanda and Phil | Southern New Hampshire Wedding Photography

Way back at the very first wedding I photographed I took a photo of a happy young engaged couple, Amanda and Phil. Weeks later after seeing some of the photos on Facebook Amanda contacted me about photographing her wedding. (I was so excited, though I made no mention of it at the wedding when I took their photo I was secretly hoping they might contact me....) Almost one year later I ventured down to Hudson to photograph their wonderful wedding (I even got to say hello to some familiar faces, the bride and groom from my first wedding as well as the best man who is Phil's father!). It was such a beautiful day. The ceremony took place at the really super cool Alvirne Memorial Chapel and then we headed over to Benson Park (Benson's Wild Animal Farm) to take some fun portrait shots. We had some killer light and found the most amazing tree (where some guy caught a fish just seconds before we asked if we could borrow the spot for a moment). All in all it was an amazing day and the reception was filled with great food, happiness, and dancing. Here are just a few favorites from the day....

Jess & Eric Married | NH Wedding Photographer

I love weddings. Especially when they are for a friend. I've known Jess since elementary school. We go back to days of walking to the store in town to spend whatever small amount of money we had on candy (who am I kidding, I still do that minus the walking....), chatting about boys, and playing Lemmings on the computer (anyone????). As we grew older, we did grow apart a bit, but thanks to the world of social networking and grocery stores, we have been able to catch up quite a bit. I was so excited when Jess asked me to photograph her wedding. I knew it was going to be both awesomely fun and really, really, cool. She was born an artist through and through. Her headpiece, shoes, flowers, and most decorations were all handmade. It was incredible. Jess and Eric had a fantastic ceremony complete with a rock-paper-scissors match to see who would read their vows first and a pinky swear to seal the deal. Friends took part as well including a reading from one of my favorite comic duos, Calvin and Hobbes. There was so much love in the air that day (as well as frigid wind which Jess and Eric braved for their first look). It is clear that they are surrounded by both great family and friends and I can't thank them enough for allowing me to be a part of their awesome wedding. Congratulations guys! You rock!
