Leslie & Colin’s Chatham Bars Inn wedding was such a blast – the weather was perfect and they were surrounded by friends and family (including a gaggle of their adorable nieces and nephews). Enjoy the many photos….they were hard to narrow down!

Two of Leslie’s nieces hang out – sweetness!

Leslie got ready on the porch which provided beautiful light – always a good thing to think about when choosing a spot to have the makeup artist set up

So much anticipation as Leslie donned her STUNNING Vera Wang gown

Going to the chapel and we’re…..gonna get married!

Colin was very relaxed hanging out with his best man waiting for the ceremony to begin

Colin’s College singing group The Baker’s Dozen sang during the ceremony to applause!

After doing family portraits at the church we headed to the beach with the bridal party

The staff at Chatham Bars Inn were so gracious – when they saw us on the dock they offered to take the bridal party on a spin in the boat….yes please!

Thank you wind for blowing at just the right time!

Leslie’s cute Dad added a button with an old photo to his outfit for the reception

The decor at the reception in the beach club was perfect – elegant yet not overdone

An ombre cake? LOVE.

As people headed over to the reception they gathered in the circle for a full wedding shot

Mr. & Mrs!

Colin has an obsession with Air Jordans so as a groomsmen gift they each got custom shoes with their names engraved on a plate – VERY cool gift

Right at golden hour we headed down to the beach to take advantage of the beautiful light

Awesome shoes

Breaking the cake knife – a sign of luck?!

Fun times on the dancefloor including a flip – that was a first!

Don’t stop believing to end the night!

And a sparkler send off on the way to the after party

Congratulations, Colin & Leslie – what a beautiful day!!

Once the weather gets warm Jeff and I loved taking advantage of our screened in porch for summer lunches and dinners. Who am I kidding? I will often bring my laptop out there and edit, answer emails, etc. – a nice change from sitting at my desk! When I was down visiting my Dad in May he sent me back with a lounge chair that is perhaps the most wonderfully comfortable piece of porch furniture I’ve ever sat in…..the dogs think so too!

Sweet Maggie

Amanda — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 01:35:13 +0000

Last week I finally FINALLY got to meet Maggie – my cousin’s Will & Sarah’s daughter. I visited them last spring in Oklahoma but Maggie didn’t arrive until early July so all this time I’ve been hearing about her and seeing photos of her but no Maggie in person – very sad. Needless to say when Maggie & Sarah were in town I sped right over for a visit and she is as charming in person as she appeared in all the many photos and videos I’d seen. Will sadly was not in Vermont with them but next week I’m headed out to visit them at their new home in Colorado so I’ll get to see all THREE of them plus Grit the dog! Enjoy these photos of sweet Maggie on a perfect Vermont summer eve!
