Vermont is showing off right now. It's as if it's seducing us into this jaw-dropping beauty, forcing us to stare open-mouthed at all the colors one landscape can create. Within a few weeks, the landscape will be devoid of much color and will challenge us to hold on to the memories of them for many months. The light this time of year is astounding, and being able to capture Vermont's beauty through a lens is my way of holding on to these precious moments.

Sometimes I have the good fortune to witness the precursor to all the wedding excitement, like a couple weeks ago when I had the pleasure of capturing AJ & Tasha's engagement at the beautiful Deer Hill Inn in Dover. Enjoy the light and love that a Vermont fall can bring!

The Deer Hill Inn in Dover is a gorgeous setting for such a special occasion.

Will you please?

She said YES!

She said YES!

A special ring for a special lady Tasha bought this claddagh ring when she and AJ were in Ireland last year. It's worn in different directions and on either hand depending on your marital status. Once engaged, the ring was transferred from the right to the left hand with the heart facing out. Once they marry, the heart will face in.

Enjoying each moment

These special moments just got a whole lot sweeter!

Congratulations, AJ & Tasha! May this be the start of many special moments together.
