I met Paul and Brad not too long before their wedding this fall and we hit it off pretty quickly. Both grad students at UMass-Amherst, they wanted to incorporate some of the cool scenery on campus into their day, so we budgeted some time to walk across UMass and visit some locations they’d picked out for portraits. We then made our way to the Night Kitchen in Montague for the ceremony and reception. Here are some photos from the day…
