Rob and Michael’s wedding brought my 2011 season to a close and it was the most perfect celebration to end with. I love this couple so much and I was thrilled that they picked me to photograph their day. Theirs is definitely a love story to be told in pictures and I hope I did them justice!
It was a destination wedding for the Maryland couple and about 40 friends and family members also traveled with them to the tiny town of Brookfield, Vermont for the event. Their church ceremony was held in Randolph and then the reception back in Brookfield at Ariel’s Restaurant (one of the state’s best kept culinary secrets!!!) The dinner was extraordinary, as were the entertaining and heartfelt toasts by friends and the amazing after dinner acoustic trio Bow Thayer and Holy Plow.
Michael and Rob rented “Ye old Forkshop“, the coolest 1815 guest house–across from the equally as cool Green Trails Inn-so I had a ball shooting all of the memorabilia hanging on the walls. The house actually sits on the lake, right next to the famous Brookfield “floating bridge.”
The couple had to leave their German shepherds back in MD but they brought them in spirit by way of their suspenders and socks (as well as their cake topper!)
Their rings were gorgeous, designed with apple trees on the outside, to symbolize the ever growing nature of their relationship. It was the central theme of the whole wedding and all of the details were special lovely.
The best part of Michael and Rob is that they definitely like to have fun AND they have a great joint sense of humor…
Try not to smile through this recap of their day, to Ray Lamontagne‘s You are the Best Thing:
