One of the reasons I love Vermont so much is that everyone is connected in some way. Ragan, Chris and their daughter live in my small town community where we see each other at local events, so naturally I was honored to be able to photograph their sweet wedding in the woods behind their home. The ceremony included only immediate family and was lovely - just perfect for them.

Whenever I shoot a wedding, I look to capture moments - both the expected and unexpected. Sometimes a simple moment of someone (even a little someone) watching life unfold can become a glorious moment with the right light, angle or composition. May you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed creating them.

This is their daughter (only a few months apart from mine), who almost upstaged her Mama Bride. Can you believe the red shoes? The sweet curl of her hair?

Ragan was escorted by her sister, Whitney, and couldn't stop smiling the whole way

Clearly captivated by the ceremony.

Sometimes small is just perfect.

Everyone looked their best that day - no exceptions!

Congratulations, Ragan and Chris! Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your very special day.
