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!

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.

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!

Yesterday afternoon I met with Shannon and Willy to take their engagement photos — we made use of the Top of the Hop’s beautiful location at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., after a downpour dampened our outside plans. I used to work with Willy’s mother at the Valley News; when he was a young kid, we even used Willy and his sister as models for a story about homemade Halloween costumes. I’ll have to find those negatives before their Sept. 2013 wedding!

A few days ago, I did an engagement session for Emily and Aaron, whose September wedding I am photographing at the Aloha Hive Camp on Vermont’s Lake Fairlee. Talented photographer Jason Johns will be helping me out at the wedding. It was a beautiful afternoon to take photos — we even went for a short trail drive in their restored Jeep!

Towards the end of my newspaper work day, I swung by Colburn Park in Lebanon, N.H., to do Anne and Gianluca’s engagement photograph. I’m going to be at their wedding ceremony at the Echo Lake Inn in Tyson, Vt., in a few weeks. I’m looking forward to it!

Last weekend, I did Katy and Michael’s engagement portrait session on Mascoma Lake in Enfield, N.H.. I am photographing their wedding next summer at the Quechee Inn at Marshland Farm. For full-coverage bookings, I am now including engagement photography.
