Alyssa and Jamie were married at the Mt. Washington Hotel last weekend.  The weather report called for rain, but it ended up being a gorgeous day and we even had some blue skies for part of the day!  Their ceremony was touching and funny- I’ve never laughed so much at a ceremony before, and I have to thank their wonderful, unique officiant for that!  Alyssa and Jamie took the time to go around the property of the gorgeous Mt. Washington Hotel (in a horse-drawn carriage, no less!) and I had a wonderful time photographing them and their fun wedding party!  I loved the look of the white, red, and black against the yellow fields and mountain backdrop.  Their reception was fabulous, too- the DJ (from New York City) did a great job of increasing the tempo of the reception music as the night went on until I felt like I was at one of the best NYC clubs!

Many thanks to Earl Christie for acting as my second photographer at this event.  Venue: Mt. Washington Hotel, Flowers: The Flower Shop at The Mount Washington Hotel, Video: Josh Swan, DJ: Scott Melker of 101 Management.

Leslie and Sal were married at the gorgeous Mt. Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, NH.  The day started out rainy, so Leslie and Sal opted to have their ceremony in the conservatory.  Even though the temperature stayed fairly cold, though, the rain stopped and we were able to head outside for some shots after the ceremony.  I was so happy that we still had some beautiful foliage- I love the colors around the hotel!

Leslie and Sal had an incredible reception- they had a group that loved dancing and stayed on the dance floor throughout the night.  Here are a few of my faves:

Sarah and Craig met in college, but they remained good friends for years before they started dating.  They chose Church Landing in Meredith, NH, because Sarah once saw a wedding performed on the shores of the lake while she and Craig were driving their boat to a nearby restaurant.  The image stuck with her, and shortly after Craig proposed, they drove up to New Hampshire to take a look at the property.  Even though there was snow on the ground, they could still envision a lakeside, summer wedding.  They chose such a beautiful spot, and they had such a gorgeous, sunny day.  Here are a few of my favorites from the day:
