Mansion at Bald Hill Wedding mbm weddings woodstock

Kerri and Kevin had their beautiful Mansion at Bald Hill wedding on a gorgeous evening just as summer was beginning. Their red, white and blue theme was absolutely beautiful and I love how their wedding honored Kevin’s service to the state police and also Kerri’s love of books and her teaching.

Kerri and Kevin celebrated their wedding with their children, closest friends and family from as far away as California and with Kevin’s State Trooper academy classmates. Kerri asked her uncle to give her away and also to share in a special dance. Kerri’s daughter and Kevin’s good friend gave some fantastic toasts. Kevin gave an emotional thank you toast to all of their guests and the special shout-out to his fellow officers was very touching. The DJ was fantastic and had their guests on the floor all night! This was truly an incredible wedding that Brian and I are very honored to have been a part of.

Mr. and Mrs. Eklund, we wish you all the best in the world and we thank you for trusting us with your wedding photography.

Sweet Penelope 🤍

I do not get to photograph newborns often, but I truly love lifestyle newborn photography. There is something so special about slowing down and documenting these first tender days at home. Photographing Penelope’s session with her loving parents, Sarah and Tom, was such an honor.

This precious girl was an absolute angel. The only time she made a sound was when her mommy and daddy were not touching her. She clearly loves being safe in their arms, right where she belongs.

Sarah and Tom, thank you for trusting me to snuggle your beautiful baby and capture her very first photo session. Congratulations to your sweet family on the arrival of your perfect little darling.

Some wedding days are quiet in the very best way 🤍

Sydni & Filip’s intimate Wickham Park wedding was filled with intention, presence, and so much love. Surrounded by blooming gardens and their closest people, they took their time, soaked it all in, and focused on what mattered most- getting married.

This day was heartfelt, meaningful, and beautifully true to who they are. So honored to be the ones to document it.

After months of working behind the scenes on our blog, we’re so excited to continue sharing the beautiful love stories we’ve had the honor of documenting. This week, we’re featuring Jennifer and Mitchell, and their timeless Publick House Historic Inn wedding is one you won’t want to miss.

Jennifer and Mitchell’s wedding day at the Publick House in Sturbridge, Massachusetts was the perfect blend of historic elegance, heartfelt moments, and pure joy. From getting ready onsite surrounded by buzzing excitement, to a ceremony that felt deeply personal and meaningful, every part of the day unfolded so naturally and beautifully.

Just before the ceremony, a brief rain shower passed through- the kind they say brings good luck. Minutes later, the sun emerged, the grounds dried, and the sky transformed into something truly breathtaking. It felt cinematic in the best possible way. Add in a ceremony officiated by a close friend, the iconic Publick House bunnies making a surprise appearance, and portraits by the pond, barns, and manicured meadows, and the day was nothing short of magical.

The celebration continued with emotional and funny toasts, a choreographed first dance that had everyone smiling, and a joyful cake cutting that perfectly reflected Jennifer and Mitchell’s energy as a couple.
We’re so honored to have been their wedding photographers and to tell their story through these timeless and romantic images.

Ever since our new blog site went live, I’ve been deep in blog catch-up mode. And, while working on Leah & Nick’s post, I completely lost track of time looking through the bridal prep images.

There is truly nothing like being in the bridal suite with the girls. As a total girlie girl, it’s one of my favorite part of the day, always full of laughter, excitement, and the kind of energy that makes you feel like you’ve just gained a whole new group of friends. Leah’s excitement was contagious, her bridesmaids had the best time getting ready, and every single one of them looked absolutely beautiful.

Make sure you’re subscribed to the blog (link in bio!) so you’ll be the first to know when Leah & Nick’s full wedding story goes live. 🤍
