I had the most amazing privilege of traveling to Quechee, VT last weekend to photograph the wedding of Janie and Chris. Over the three days that I was there, spending time with their friends and families, I learned just how special these two people are. Their devotion to service, humanity, and their spirituality is surpassed only by their devotion to each other, and it was apparent in every toast, and in every smile, and in every bit of laughter how much these two are loved.
Rain was in the forecast, but it held off for the most part and we were able to be outside. The guests all stayed at the Quechee Inn, which is where the reception was held. The staff was wonderful and pulled off a gorgeous party for Jane and Chris:
Janie’s parents live right down the street from the church in Woodstock where the ceremony was held. I loved hanging out with Janie and her sisters Emily and Ann (whose wedding I shot in Woodstock last fall!) as they helped her get ready:
Mom and Dad’s first looks:
Check out these fantastic earrings!
Janie took a few minutes to relax and check the weather before we left for the church:
I met Chris at the church and snagged a few minutes with him before the ceremony:
Janie’s last moments as a single girl!
The two celebrants at the wedding were former classmates of Chris’s — Father Brian and Father Todd — and they were two of the nicest, funniest, most accommodating people I have ever met. Here they are goofing off a bit before getting down to the serious business of marrying their friend:
Married!!!!
Janie and her sisters:
The Quechee Inn has a wonderful field in the back where we took lots of photos. The rain completely held off, and the light was gorgeous.
Don’t you just love Vermont?
Don’t you just love the Jesuits?
A toast to great happiness and love:
A tremendous thank you to Janie and Chris, as well as to their families, for allowing me to be part of their special day!
