Emily and Brian were married at the GORGEOUS Barn at Gibbet Hill in Groton, MA on May 28, 2011. Mother nature almost ruined the beautiful opportunity for an outdoor ceremony but thankfully the sun came out just in time for the bride and groom to exchange their vows on the grounds overlooking the spotless and manicured hills of the venue. I loved their photo session because the guests had a great vantage point from the barns' deck to watch pictures unfold & converse with the bridal party, something that rarely happens during the cocktail hour/picture sessions.
After the photo session, the party moved inside for a gorgeous barn reception with a fun night of dancing and celebrating. Again, I'm a sucker for barn receptions since my wedding reception will also be in a barn!
Capturing moments as they happen naturally is one of my big goals with shooting weddings, I rarely 'stage' shots unless I think they will really add to the video. I was really pumped to get the groom and his groomsmen lighting up cigars on the deck on film (thanks to my amazing fiance/assistant for giving me the heads up!).
Here's to many years of happiness for Emily & Brian!
