Two of the most warm and caring individuals, Dara and Keith are the epitome of kindness and love for each other and their families. It was a joy watching them connect with everyone at their wedding. When we spoke to discuss the details, they highlighted so many people they wanted to capture photographs of (like Dara’s uncle) and moments they knew they were going to cherish (like Keith’s brother crying during the ceremony). Here’s just a taste of their beautiful day.
Dara got ready in the bridal suite at the Log Cabin in western Mass. She was surrounded by her dearest friends and closest family members. Two of her bridesmaids helped her tie the corsette laces of her wedding dress.
A moment to check out the dress and all of her personal details. Dara’s classic beauty and softness shine in this image.
Meanwhile the boys were all set so they took some time to enjoy the stunning mountain views.
Just before Dara walked down the aisle, the flower girl and ringbearer prepared to lead the way.
Keith was terrified that he was going to cry during the ceremony. Apparently he is known for this, having cried during his brother’s wedding. He was trying desparately to keep it together in preparation for Dara to walk down the aisle.
On the arm of her father.
Arriving to her groom.
Check out this amazing, stunning, spectacular, gorgeous, out of this world mountain view. And the temperature was perfect. An idyllic scene, no?
The gentle breeze caught Dara’s veil and the light made it glow during their vows. So pretty.
I absolutely love this image of Dara’s mom and dad during the ceremony. You can feel the love they have for each other and for Dara and Keith just by looking at their faces and body language.
Just as Dara and Keith started their departure after their kiss and being pronounced man and wife, their ringbearer realized he was on the wrong side of the aisle. For a young man, what other solution is there, really, but to dash across to the correct side? Too funny.
And at the end there were bubbles – have I mentioned that I love bubbles?
What an all out great day! Definitely check back soon for more from Dara and Keith’s spring wedding.

This past year, while living in Western Mass, I had the opportunity to visit some amazing wedding sites and connect with my peers in the industry. I wanted to share some images from a few of these fabulous venues, as well as my impressions and their story.
I just had to start with Wheatleigh in Lenox, MA. Dave and I met up with Sebastian Serre after hearing about Wheatleigh from Lisa Hoffman at Ceci New York.
This French chateau is a jewel in the Berkshires crown. Really spectacular. Not only has this amazing hotel won all kinds of awards (AAA Five Diamond Rating, Robb Report Luxury Resorts List of 100 Best Places to Stay, Andrew Harper’s Hideaway Report Hotel of the Year Grand Award Winner), it has perhaps the most romantic storied beginning. At the turn of the century, the Florentine palazzo was built as a wedding gift by H.H. Cook for his daughter, who was soon to be a countess. In my opinion, this alone would make it the perfect place to get married.

Last week we enjoyed a retreat with a group of fabulous photographers, members of the Connecticut PUG; even the name of the retreat is cool- "Annual PUG Rock N’ Roll Retreat." We ventured to a lakehouse in the Berkshires for a little goal setting, photography, and R&R. We made some great new friends and enjoyed the camaraderie of this super talented crew.

The Leonard Family is brilliant! They had an amazing idea. Three generations came together in Western Massachusetts for a family vacation and enjoyed a week at the Blue Heron Farm. While there, they chose to take their family portrait. This works out perfectly- during a reunion vacation, everyone is together and everyone is relaxed. These guys were real troopers, too. Our session happened to be one of the warmest days in New England. Still we had a great time and got some great images. Here are a few of our faves…
