July, 2009:

A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about Alice The Pig, the resident mascot at MountainMeadows Lodge in Killington, where Jesse and Lynne got married. And though I was definitely taken with Alice, she can’t hold a candle to how much I love this couple.  And their wedding?  Well, the sun shined, the mountain views were spectacular, the bride and groom looked gorgeous and everyone had a ball (including the animals!)

I shot this event with Adam Riesner, my awesome associate photographer,  and I only wish I had pictures of Adam coaxing Alice the pig over to the bride and groom with pieces of Shrimp coctail while I tried to incorporate her into their portraits. For someone weighing a couple hundred pounds, she sure is fast on her feet!

Lynne and her sister made their bouquets of sunflowers rigt before the ceremony:

I just adore this picture that Adam shot of Jesse watching as Lynne hugs her dad. Gotta love having that second set of eyes at the ceremony!

And the chase for Alice is on…

And when’s the last time you saw something like this???

uh oh! Food fight….

…And, finally, is this not the most stunning sunset….

Phil and Andrea were married at 12:34 pm and 56 seconds on July 8, 2009. If you break that down in numbers, that’s 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9!!! Pretty cool, huh? Well  Phil is an engineer, so it makes sense.

What can I say about this couple?  I ADORE them and I feel priviledged and honored that they looked passed every West Coast photographer to fly me out to Capitola, CA  (a gorgeous oceanside town just south of Santa Cruz) to document their nuptuals. It was a hardship to accept this offer, spend 5 days in a gorgeous cliffside inn overlooking the Pacific and take pictures at the most fun wedding held this decade, but I did it nonetheless!

I fell in love with both of their families, and the end of the week was filled with ample hugs and tears and promises of visits to various places around the county.  And of couse, we all immediately went home and “friended” one another on Facebook for regular virtual interaction!

So, Congratulations Andrea and Phil. I love you both so much!

I photographed the greatest wedding Saturday for Lynne and Jesse, and though I am a couple weeks away from being able to Post a whole gallery of photos, I am compelled to at least introduce you all to Alice, the beloved Pot Bellied Pig who rules the roost, so to speak, down at Mountain Meadows Lodge in Killington.  Alice and her friends mixed well with guests and were even invited by the bridal couple to attend the coctail hour! I couldnt stop laughing as Alice  made her way from guest to guest, wagging her tail and looking for food droppings!

This little piggy aint never goin’ to the market!
