Bear Brook Valley Winter Wedding

Bear Brook Valley Wedding

I am so excited to share this gorgeous Bear Brook Valley wedding. You can never be sure what weather to expect on any wedding day but March is an especially tricky tricky month. Yesterday, it was 75 degrees and sunny and last Friday we were shooting in a snowy winter wonderland. But, the truth is, we could not have asked for a better day.

Kristin & Bob grew up in towns next to each other, rival towns to be exact. Its a classic story, really. She was a cheerleader and he a football player. At the cocktail hour of their wedding they had photos displayed from their cheer and football days and it was SO CUTE! They never dated in high school, but reconnected years later at a Kenny Chesney concert and the rest is history!

They got engaged in Vermont, a place they love and bring their fur baby, Cash.

Over the past year and a half I have gotten to know Kristin, Bob and Cash and they are the sweetest little family. They brought Cash to their engagement session and their fall mini session, so I got to photograph them a number of times before the wedding which really helps to get authentic, candid and natural photos on the wedding day.

Kristin’s very talented friend and bridesmaid designed the invitation.
Kristin looked like a true princess in her Hayley Paige wedding gown.
10 of Kristin’s besties stood by her on her wedding day wearing beautiful Revelry bridesmaids’ dresses.
And Bob had 12 groomsmen!
On her way to see Bob for the first look!
Eucalyptus in bouquets is my favorite!
Kristin and Bob were ALL SMILES on their wedding day!
Bear Brook Valley set up beautiful family style tables for the seated dinner.
I love this moment during the dances when Bob’s mom hugged Kristin’s mom. <3
Kristin had both grandparents at her wedding and they were both dancing!

I love a good sparkler exit!

Bear Brook Valley is not only beautiful, but they truly have thought of everything. The gorgeous bridal suite has plenty of space for large bridal parties and, more importantly in my opinion- plenty of light! There are places to hang the wedding dress and a rack to hang the bridesmaids dresses. The attendants were kind and helpful and the day went so smoothly.

Congratulations again, Kristin & Bob!
