Stephanie and Mark’s fairytale wedding was at the lovely Searles Castle in Windham, NH. Stephanie had clearly been planning this wedding in her mind for forever. She had an amazingly branded wedding, with beautiful celtic and renaissance inspirations everywhere, and man did they have a great dance party! Of course it didn’t hurt that pretty much everyone there were Krista’s friends, so even she and I got to dance! (More of that later…)
Krista and I started with Stephanie and her girls upstairs at the castle, the light was beautiful up there!
Love her cascading curls.
I grabbed this while Steph’s dress was being laced up.
Mark gave her a gorgeous necklace before the ceremony.
Stephanie’s grandmother sewed the final stich on her dress, it was such a sweet moment!
The fabulous Matt Grazier grabbed this detail before the ceremony
Matt also hung out with Mark and his boys as they got ready down the hall.
Stephanie was so brave and rode a gorgeous Clydesdale horse to meet her groom! It was a first for me!
Matt was at Mark’s side for this shot.
I grabbed this from the back, those trees were awesome!
Ya think he’s a little excited?!
Love that after the ceremony moment :)
Awwwww…
Sassy!
Krista and I and the Bride and Groom snuck away to shoot some portraits afterwards.
Here’s Krista’s view of Steph and mark on this gorgeous stone bridge…
…and here’s mine!
Love the dusty miller in her flowers! I had that in my bouquet!
Matt grabbed these of the tent and place cards, everything was set up so beautifully!
This is mine of the guest book complete with quill and ink!
First dance time! This one is mine, love those teary eyes in the background.
This is Matt’s of this Irish dance routine, it was amazing! I mean just her costume alone is incredible!
YEA! Matt’s as well.
This shot was Matt’s idea. Winner!
Let the partying begin! Also from Matt.
This one is mine of the groom gettin’ down!
Matt was all over the dance floor while Krista got to dance with some of her friends! Who could resist? The next five are from Matt.
I gotta dance sometimes too ya know?!
Here’s a couple sweet long exposures!
Pretty proud of my expert sparkler waving skills.
And a beautiful sparkler sendoff to end the night!
Woohoo! What an amazing day it was you two! Thank you to everyone for sharing your joy with us. I know it was extra special for Krista to be able to do this for such dear friends. We wish you all the best!
See more on facebook, and we’ll see ya Wednesday for the next couple!
