I first met Anna and Brad when I did their eSession at the Duck Pond and it turned out to be a beautiful fall day with bursts of color everywhere. You can have all the scenery you want, and the weather can be totally on your side. But, what makes for a beautiful portrait session is when you have couples so obviously in love that they really just become a part of the scene. It’s natural, and as uncomfortable as some may be in front of a camera for the first time, it all works out when it’s real. So, it really wasn’t surprising that their wedding day was no different. It was real, and these two are going to have an incredible life together with the support of a wonderful family and great friends everywhere.

The B&G are both graduates of VT School of Architecture so I thought this little ring proppage was a cool idea

This was something I’d never seen before and everyone had a great time with it. The bride and groom exchange one shoe. Then, the DJ asks a series of questions about things pertaining to the delegation of family duties and perhaps a few about personal habits that EVERYONE takes with them into a marriage. The couple is back to back and they answer the question by holding up the shoe of the person they think is going to fit the answer best. Let’s just say there was conflict and agreement!
