Nicole and Luke’s wedding was the first wedding of my 2013 season and a great one it was!\u00a0 I took the winter off from wedding photography to snowboard and play music in Colorado, as well as work on some personal photo & video projects. When I returned in mid April it was just in time for Nicole & Luke’s wedding.\u00a0 These guys were so much fun to photograph; they made my job feel effortless and so natural that day.\u00a0 They really helped me kick off my 2013 wedding season with a bang!\u00a0 Thank you for being so great to work with!\u00a0 Being late April in Vermont, you never know if the weather is going to cooperate, and thankfully it was a sunny and crisp spring day; a beautiful day to marry in Vermont.\u00a0 Nicole in her wedding dress looked absolutely stunning to say the least!\u00a0 Luke also was looking great and feeling super festive all day long.\u00a0 I was having so much fun photographing him and his awesome groomsmen, they were hamming it up!\u00a0 The new wedding barn at the Mountain Top Inn is fabulous and I was excited to try out some new lighting techniques there.\u00a0 After a heartfelt ceremony,\u00a0 the party got underway with a special performance on acoustic guitar by a dear friend of Luke’s.\u00a0 The party shifted into high gear that evening with great music by Top Hat entertainment and delicious food\u00a0 & drinks served by the Mountain Top Inn.\u00a0 At the end of the evening Nicole & Luke exited in grand fashion as their guests formed a line holding lit sparklers, cheering as they walked down the aisle.\u00a0 This was a photo opportunity\/challenge which I was greatly looking forward to.\u00a0 After the grand exit we had a little more fun making some artistic photos of Nicole & Luke by ‘painting’ with sparklers.\u00a0 It was a magical day for these two wonderful people, their families and friends.\u00a0 I invite you to enjoy some highlights from this fabulous wedding.<\/p>\n
