Allison & Danny- Vermont Wedding Photographer

Late last week as I was going through my blog archives, I realized that I never blogged Allison & Danny’s beautiful winter wedding at the Mountain Top Inn in Chittenden, Vermont.  This was my first wedding up there and on my ride up I started to think that my GPS was guiding me in the wrong direction and I almost turned around to get directions.  Thankfully I found my way and the view that I found at the top, simply took my breath away….

All of those beautiful decorations were handmade by Allison and her sister and as it happens, one day when I was shopping Etsy and searching for inspiration I stumbled across their Etsy shop where they now sell these adorable paper flowers amongst other things (check it out HERE!)

Everything about the Mountain Top Inn is beautiful and Allison and Danny selected the perfect location to spend their winter wedding with their friends and family.  After hellos and whatnot, I always like to capture some details first…

Totally fierce right?!!  I wore some very high heels on my wedding but I think Allison beat me height wise!  The perfect amount of sparkle!

This is absolutely one of my all time faves.  I just love how she’s soaking it all in.

It was slightly chilly and a little overcast, but it was perfect!

All of the girls were super brave and looked fabulous is their black dresses that they can even use again (which I always love!)

HOT looking wedding party, right?!!

Allison soaking in the moment again with her dad…..love.

Now it’s time for some lovely details!

These lovely cakes are from Lael Cakes…..almost too pretty to eat don’t you think?!

And now look at all of these beautiful details….

As avid snowboarders, all of the names of tables were ski resorts!

 

This moment totally had me choked up behind my lens.  This adorable little man sang “Someone Like You” by Adelle word for word to Allison.  It was just about the sweetest and cutest moment ever.  He knew more words to the song than I did and now whenever this song comes up on my iPod I think of this exact moment.

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Petrus!!

Oh how I love what I do and I’m so looking forward to the busy ’12 wedding season ahead!!

Loving Life- Vermont Wedding Photographer

Lately, I’ve been loving life a lot more!  That’s not to say that I didn’t love life before, but that I’ve been kind of looking at things differently.  I’ve been focusing more on my physical health and been focusing on losing some weight that I gained after I had Lillian.  Weight I might add, is a heck of a lot harder to lose as the years go by!  A few times a week, me and Lillian head across the street to the town park.  I love everything about this park.  The mile long walking/running path, the fabulous playground amongst the trees, the pool/pond and being able to take a rest from all of that running around along the river.  I’ve lost some weight and hope that the trend continues because life will be better at the end of it all!!

Here’s a quick snap from Instagram off of my phone of my sweetie at the park….

Words to live by- Vermont Wedding Photographer

So very, very true.  A couple of weeks ago I came to a decision.  I need to do more beyond what I do now.  I need to give back.  When I was in high school, I volunteered with my Aunt at the Food Bank two days a week.  She would pick me up and we’d listen to ABBA on the way there.  She’d work in the office and I was out in the warehouse helping out.  It was very rewarding on every level possible…..I was able to help the less fortunate out and at the same time, spend some time with my Aunt who also happened to be my godmother.  I felt like I was doing something worthwhile.  I need to get back to that.  While what I do is very rewarding on a personal/professional level, I need to feel rewarded on a community based level.  I need to feel like I’m giving something back.  I’m not certain where I’ll end up, though part of me wants to volunteer with an Elderly Services Group but I guess I’ll come to that decision at some point.  I’ve decided that for the time being, I’m going to start my research to find out where my time could be best spent once I’m ready in the fall.  I have a busy, busy, busy wedding schedule ahead of me this summer……did I mention that it’s busy?!  I know that I’ll be spending a lot more time in front of the computer this summer, but it’s important that I balance that out with focusing on Lillian as well.  So waiting until my busy season is over with is mostly for my own sanity.  The day will come though and I will give back……and I’ll be kind.

And those lovely flowers above are courtesy of my back yard……gotta love flowers that randomly pop up to show you how lovely life is!!
