I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to kick off my 2014 wedding season with than Cassie & Valerie! I first met Cassie when I joined a local gym that Cassie works at. After conversation, I found out she was engaged and she found out I was a wedding photographer and the rest is history! Cassie & Valerie are just so fun-loving & genuinely happy people. I don’t think either of them stopped smiling the entire day. Their whole wedding day was filled with nothing but joy. They had such an amazing group of friends & family surrounding them as they said “I do” at a local restaurant, Jesse’s, right here in Hanover, NH! I must say, as much as I love that weddings take me to new places I wouldn’t otherwise go, it was SO nice to be able to shoot a wedding right in my hometown.
Cassie & Valerie had so many fun details throughout the day – including embroidered converse sneakers, not one but TWO gorgeous bridal bouquets (by the wonderful Morgan at Valley Flower Co), a flower girl in a tulle skirt, and best of all a photo booth! That’s the first wedding I’ve attended or shot that had a photo booth and it was a BLAST! All the guests loved it and of course my second shooter, Sienna, and I had to jump in :) Thank you so much to Cassie & Val for having me – it was an amazing day & I was so happy to be able to document it!
I had a few minutes to myself with Cassie while we were waiting for the limo to pick up Valerie for the first look… of course I couldn’t resist getting some bridal portraits of this gorgeous smile!
Their first look was so sweet… I may or may not have started to tear up a little from behind the camera.
I would say we finished up portraits just in time at the Trumbull House before the skies opened up on us…
It started absolutely pouring during the reception… Then five minutes later the most beautiful sunlight came out. Welcome to spring in New England!
A double father-daughter dance – so sweet!
A shot of me with the brides :) And a look at our photo booth strip!
