I was so excited to see Sam, Jason, and their family again after photographing Sam’s sister’s wedding a few months before.

The day started with the girls getting ready at a hotel and the guys getting ready at home.

The ceremony was held in the same church as her sister’s - I love family traditions!

The reception was at the Waterview, a beautiful ballroom venue.

It was one heck of a party!

Winter In New England by Zack Wussow

Last November my wife Heather and I went up for a long weekend in Vermont to photograph a friend’s wedding. Emily and Ed’s wedding was held at the Stonewell Farm, an awesome event space/working farm/museum/nature center.

The day kicked off with a first look and posed photos with family. Then it was time for the main event.

A funny dad’s speech and first dance kicked off the reception.

Then the rest of the night was for dancing and celebration!

I’d previously met Rita and Steve at her sister Trish’s wedding a few years ago, so I was thrilled to be working with their family again.

After some prep at a local hotel, everyone congregated at a beautiful home in rural Massachusetts, an amazing setting for this outdoor wedding!

We did a first look and got the posed photos out of the way first - it was such a beautiful farm, I wanted to take about a million photos of the couple.

The ceremony was officiated by a friend. Simple and touching.

After cocktails, the reception kicked off in a large tent. A fun evening with lots of dancing, lots of food, and lots of love.

There was a classic, timeless quality to Amy and Michal’s wedding that was really charming.

The day started at Amy’s parents where the girl’s got ready.

Then I met up with Michal at St. Francis of Assisi before the ceremony. A suit that good deserves some individual photos, after all.

It was a beautiful ceremony. I’ve been very lucky to work at St. Francis several times.

The reception was held at the Crystal Room. We took advantage of the beautiful garden out back for some posed photos.

In October my wife Heather and I had the wonderful excuse of my friend Whitney’s wedding to take a road trip to beautiful, rural Virginia.

The wedding day started with getting ready - Heather took Kirk and his guys out for some posed photos, and unintentionally made Whitney cry!

The ceremony was outside, with the rain just barely holding off. The mist actually made the background that much more beautiful.

Posed photos were easy with this stunning couple and a such a beautiful backdrop.

The reception kicked off with the first dance, speeches, and a macaron birthday cake for Whitney’s sister.

Then it was time to party!

Kaitlyn and Mario were so fun to work with for their engagement that I was really excited for their wedding day! Things got started with prep at a family friend’s home.

Then it was time for the traditional church ceremony, with an unexpected twist - specifically, Kaitlyn fainting halfway through! Luckily she was fine - Mario caught her! - and only needed a quick breather to get back on her feet.

Everyone moved to the Aria for the reception. Toasts kicked off the night, followed by cake cutting and parent dances.

The bouquet toss was energetic!

Then it was time to dance and party the night away!

Love in the Fall by Zack Wussow

Amanda and James had so many great ideas for their engagement session last year in Newport, I just knew that their wedding was going to be great.

Amanda&JamesSamples (5).jpg

The day started with prep photos at a local hotel.

From there we moved to The Lodge at Maneeley’s, where Amanda and James were relieved to finally have their first look and see each other.

The ceremony was short and sweet - James’ vows in particular required a lot of tissues.

After cocktail hour, it was time for introductions, which included an amazing surprise!

Those are the bridesmaids, charging in to the theme from Jurassic Park.

First dance, speeches, and parent dances followed.

Then: dancing! And lots of it! (James’ college friends especially put in a lot of work on the dance floor!)

We stole the happy couple away for some night photos on the amazing grounds.

It was an amazing day, and I’m so happy for James and Amanda. Congratulations!

Simple and Sweet by Zack Wussow

Alyssa knows my wife Heather from way back - so it was lovely when she reached out about having me photograph her and Joe’s fall wedding.

_MG_4571.jpg

It was a simple day, starting with posed photos and the ceremony at First Church of Christ, Farmington, a beautiful church older than the USA.

_MG_4324.jpg

We also visited the library nextdoor for couples photos. So awesome!

_MG_4212.jpg

The reception was held in a family friends’ backyard, though that description really undersells the awesome, covered pavilion and tent arrangement. There wasn’t a lot in terms of big events, but there was a lot of great food and friends on a perfect day.

_MG_4839.jpg

Last, but not least, it was time for their totally amazing cake. Can you guess that their wedding was Harry Potter themed?

Congratulations, Alyssa and Joe!
