Getting Ready: A Morning Filled with Love & Laughter

Kate exuded a sense of calm and coziness in the bridal suite, surrounded by her mom and closest friends, all eagerly awaiting the big dress reveal. The room was filled with laughter, soft music playing in the background, and the scent of fresh florals as she prepared for the moment she would walk down the aisle. Meanwhile, not very far away, Saudin and his groomsmen shared a morning of camaraderie, adjusting ties and exchanging heartfelt toasts before stepping into the crisp autumn air.

The First Look: A Moment of Pure Emotion

With the beautiful mountain view of Smugglers Notch in the background, Kate and her dad shared their first look in a quiet, intimate setting. As soon as Kate tapped his shoulder, he turned around, his face instantly lighting up with awe and emotion. It was a moment of pure fatherly love and pride —one that spoke volumes without a single word. Truly timeless images were captured.

A Ceremony That Blended Cultures & Hearts

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Smugglers Notch, Kate and Saudin exchanged vows in a ceremony that beautifully intertwined their Irish and Bosnian heritage. Every detail— from the heartfelt vows to the emotional glances between them—felt deeply meaningful. As soon as they were pronounced husband and wife, Saudin threw his fist in the air, a spontaneous moment of joy that had the entire crowd cheering.

A Reception Under Candlelight & Stars

The reception space was nothing short of enchanting. Soft candlelight flickered across the modern barn’s wooden beams and white walls, creating an ambiance that was both romantic and chic. Guests dined under the warm glow, sharing stories and candid laughter before the dance floor erupted in celebration. The night was a true fusion of cultures—Irish traditions mixed with lively Bosnian ones, bringing everyone together in a whirlwind of energy and love.

Dancing the Night Away

As the evening continued, the dance floor was never empty. Between heartfelt toasts and joyous embraces, the night was a celebration of not only Kate and Saudin’s love but also the merging of two families, two backgrounds, and two hearts. The energy was electric, the emotions were raw, and the memories made were unforgettable.

As I stood there documenting every candid moment, I was reminded why I love what I do—preserving love stories that are as unique and beautiful as the people in them.

Editorial Wedding Session

With the focus of Kate and Saudin's day being connection and celebration with friends and family, we simply couldn't miss out on a editorial formal wedding portrait session in the moody golden light of Vermont. Racing against the clock of light we rushed to the side of the field to capture some of the most jaw dropping photos that mixed not only a more editorial chic posed style with candid laughter and in between moments. My perfect scenario. It is easy to see that not only were Kate and Saudin comfortable in front of the camera, but they were also focused on each other and making sure the images were elevated AND authentic to their style and relationship.
