The day was perfect. Ally and Devin were getting ready at the Barn at Boyden Farms, where they would soon be wed. Ally and the bridesmaids were busy preparing last minute decorations, the cake arrived, flowers were in place and everything was finally coming together. Ally and Devin decided to do a ‘first look’ and their bride/groom photos before the ceremony. It was one of the most emotional moments I’ve seen. Devin was blown away when he saw his stunning bride, and tears of joy soon followed. After a first look, it usually takes a few minutes of enjoying the moment before a couple is ready to work with me. This couple, so in love and feeling their emotions, took a over 10 minutes before they were ready to start. They were lost in the magic of that moment and it was amazing to see! We had fun exploring the property around Boyden Valley Farms and captured some great images. This venue is the real deal when it comes to barn weddings in Vermont. It’s a working farm and winery, so the atmosphere is truly rustic and the barn is absolutely beautiful. Once decorated to a couple’s vision, it becomes the perfect blend of rustic/chic. After the ceremony, the guests began the celebration with lawn games, and delicious food and drinks. When I discovered a scrap metal pile on the other side of the property, I was able to talk the groomsmen into doing a few photos there. What could be more ‘bad ass’ than a grungy black and white of the groomsmen in sunglasses in front of scrap metal? Inside the barn, guests were signing the back of one of Devin’s skateboards; a very personal touch. Other details included flowers in mason jars which were wrapped in burlap and delicate lace, cast-iron lanterns on tables and hanging all around the barn, and hand-made flowers made of burlap. The details were simple and elegant. The party was great and everyone got their dance groove on! All night the guests moved inside and out, where they enjoyed the fresh country air in between dancing. I had such a great time at this event and wish Ally and Devin all the best!
You perfectly captured a beautiful day, Adam!!
