01 / Getting ready

The day begins
in the details.

A lace dress waiting by the window. Rings, shoes, and a room full of friends. Amy and Benji’s wedding story begins with the small things and the people around them.

02 / The wedding party

The people
who make it yours.

Some moments call for a portrait. Others call for letting everyone be themselves. A shared laugh, a little play in the meadow, and friends helping with a dress belong in the story, too.

03 / The ceremony

An embrace.
Then, the aisle.

An embrace before the ceremony gives way to a walk down the aisle. Beneath a wooden arch with the mountains behind them, Amy and Benji share their first kiss and walk back together as newlyweds.

04 / Just the two of them

A little space
to take it all in.

The meadow in Lamoille gives these portraits their sense of place: mountain peaks, open space, and the lace of Amy’s dress against the grass. From a wide view to a close look at her ring, there’s room for both the landscape and the details.
