A wet wedding day didn’t dampen Christina and James’ spirits, or their determination to be married outdoors at the Quechee Inn at Marshland Farm in early October. The day was fun to photograph because they put so much of themselves into the event, reflected in their vows, the decor and the friends and family in attendance!

In early September, I passed the quarter-century mark as a Valley News employee. I was hired in 1989 as a staff photographer and these days I am usually at a desk as photo editor. Once in a while, I am able to get out with my camera to help out the photo staff. I love working with the newspaper’s smart and talented staff — telling stories with my camera is something I also enjoy a whole lot. Here’s a few recent photos I’ve done.
From top: Youth players stand in line to high-five the Dartmouth College football team as they run onto the field for their home opener Hanover, N.H.; Kelsey Norton, 17, of Braintree, Vt., leads her Dutch Belt steers Jet, left, and Saber while practicing for the parade to be held later in the day at the Vermont History Expo in Tunbridge, Vt. Norton has only been working with the team for a month, as part of the 4-H group Hooves and Horns Working Steers in Randolph, Vt. “I call her my cow whisperer,” said her father; The sun sets over a hayfield on Tuttle Hill in Tunbridge, Vt.

The threatening weather fizzled last weekend just as Elisabeth and Stephen’s wedding ceremony began in Landgrove, Vt. Their celebration in the small village in Vermont’s Green Mountains was picture-perfect — I was happy to be there! Follow this link to see more on my Facebook page.
This weekend, I enjoyed seeing Shakespeare’s The Tempest staged by a talented group of teenagers who were part of the two-week theater camp Get Thee To The Funnery in Chelsea, Vt. The kids’ ability to learn their roles in such a short time is so impressive! My daughter is looking forward to returning next summer for her third year.
I recently returned to Cara and Dean’s wonderful home in Barnard, Vt., to photograph their growing family. Since photographing their wedding in 2008, it has been great to continue to be a part of their changing lives!
This week Ruth and Lloyd invited me to their home in Canaan, N.H., to photograph themselves and their extended family during their get-together — even though it was raining outside, we made fun photos!
I recently photographed Judy, Eric and their extended family in one of the places most important to them — Franconia in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Years ago, they drove up from New Jersey to camp in the area with their three children. Today, with their four grandchildren they visit the same area, including a new home nearby Eric and Judy plan to retire to.
The other day, Susan and Jim asked me to come by their home in Quechee, Vt., to photograph themselves with their four children, spouses and seven grandchildren. They all traveled great distance to be together — the coordinated effort paid off with fun photos!
