Stephanie and Brendan: slideshow

Stephanie and Brendan's wedding was on a golden October Sunday evening at one of the most beautiful venues I've shot at, Willowdale Estate in Topsfield (it reminded me of our wedding venue, St. Clements Castlein Portland, CT, a fact that made me extra dreamy and excited to be there). Despite the fact that it was on the last day of the Topsfield Fair , and I got stuck in horrible traffic (I waited for over an hour to go two miles, and eventually ditched the car on the side of the road and RAN the last half-mile, three cameras and a big bag on my body. My mother-in-law, who was at the fair, drove me to Willowdale from there), I still made it with over an hour until the start of the ceremony! The wedding was gorgeous. Stephanie and Brendan are a terrific couple with a great story; when they met, neither was one to stay in the same place; however, their relationship survived their wanderlust, and despite many moves, travels, and adventures (I remember him saying he loves the mountains and she the ocean), I think they realized that home was where the other was--so many years later, they found themselves standing before friends and family saying their vows on this gorgeous autumn evening. They are not "pose in front of the camera" people, but damn they are a gorgeous couple, and I'm so glad they let me capture them in the last minutes of sunlight in that amazing setting...I know, this has been a long introduction, so on to their long-awaited slideshow...

Be sure to turn your volume up so you can hear the song!
