Over Columbus Day weekend, Whitney and Daniel celebrated their marriage at Amee Farm in Pittsfield, Vt., with friends and family. They also asked me to photograph the rehearsal at a nearby home in Killington, Vt., where the ceremony was held. I enjoyed hearing more about how everyone’s lives connected with the couple. A wet weekend sure didn’t dampen everyone’s enthusiasm! More photos from the wedding can be seen on my Facebook page.

Finding the Doorbell
My friendship with Cindy Pierce is featured in today’s installment of Archival Quality. I first met Cindy when I photographed her wedding in 1996. Nearly five years later, Cindy called to say she was developing a new show, Finding the Doorbell, and needed help with publicity photography and a web site. Cindy and I had many laughs while doing portraits around Pierce’s Inn, the rustic inn she and her husband Bruce own. Cindy now speaks to college students across the country about sex and relationships — check out her new web site to read all about it!
Jemima & Todd
In this installment of Archival Quality, five years ago today I photographed Jemima and Todd’s wedding at her family’s Hartland, Vt., farm. It was a glorious (and photogenic!) fall day. But this image, taken later on under the tent, was my favorite because I caught a private moment amongst the day’s flurry of activity.
Eat More Kale
Welcome to the first installment of Archival Quality, a series looking at favorite photos of mine from over 30 years as a photographer.
Up first: Every summer our dinner table is graced with wonderful organic produce grown by our neighbors, Wendy and Jean Palthey, at Tunbridge Hill Farm. A couple of years ago I visited their farm first thing in the morning. As the sun cut through the morning fog, I noticed large dew drops on their Red Russian Kale. I’m glad I brought my macros lens!
Arminja & Scott
On a beautiful mid-September afternoon, I met Arminja and Scott at Sugarbush Farm in Woodstock, Vt., to do their engagement portrait. Moments later, they were wed at the farm’s small chapel by Justice of the Peace Kay Camp — then I photographed Arminja and Scott as a married couple!
Tunbridge Fair
My daughter had her first shift today at the Tunbridge World’s Fair as a helper at the Tunbridge Historical Society’s Log Cabin on Antique Hill. A short trip down the road to pick her up turned into several hours of walking around to see the sites. I was glad I brought my camera, and even happier to see so many familiar faces. As one friend said, “See you next year!”
Charlotte & Greg
To celebrate their first wedding anniversary, Charlotte and Greg asked me to come by their Bethel, Vt., home on a beautiful Sunday morning to do their portrait. When they were married, the couple had a small ceremony without a professional photographer. I was happy to oblige a year later.
Family Time
It seems like yesterday, but in 1996 I photographed Cindy & Bruce’s wedding at the family inn in Etna, N.H. Since then, I’ve been back to do photos of their family a few times. Their kids’ energy and sense of humor is definitely a family trait!
Pearl & Paul
On Labor Day weekend, I photographed Pearl and Paul’s wedding ceremony at his boyhood home in Fairfax, Vt., followed by a reception at The Barn at Boyden Farm in Cambridge, Vt. Pearl and Paul found my work after buying a copy of Living with Pigs as a gift. My kind of couple! More photos from the wedding can be seen on my Facebook page.
Anne & Ben
At the end of July, I was honored to photograph Ben and Anne’s wedding ceremony at Our Lady of Light parish in South Strafford, Vt., followed by their reception over the hill at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds. I saw many familiar faces, including Ben’s mother, who officiated my own wedding ceremony a mere 17 years ago! More photographs from the wedding can be seen on my Facebook page.
