I met Charly and Janelle last year when I had a booth at Northampton Pride talking to couples who had decided to or were thinking about getting married. We hit it off pretty quickly and they became fans of my photography, so on the actual wedding day I was treated like one of the family, and I think it shows in the photos. The ceremony and reception were held at the Hawk Inn and Mountain Resort in Plymouth, VT in a beautiful field surrounded by mountains. It was quite the drive to get there, but it was worth it as it was an amazing wedding to photograph. Here are some photos from the day…
-
- Before getting ready for the ceremony, Charly and Janelle had a few moments to themselves (well, almost).
-
- The stylists put some extensions in Janelle’s hair, from a length of extension everyone had nicknamed “The Pet”.
-
- Upstairs, Charly receives a heartfelt hug from Mama.
-
- Charly and her brother talked briefly, and emotionally, as she continued getting ready for the ceremony.
-
- Mama is overcome with emotion as she watches Charly get ready.
-
- Meanwhile, Janelle slips out of her jeans and into the dress.
-
- This sequence shows Charly and Janelle’s first look at one another all dressed for the wedding.
