First Dance Tag

I LOVE Durham, CT. I love all of my people from Durham. Durham was quite an amazing place where in the 1990's families just stayed there. Everyone knew everyone in one way or another. It makes shooting any wedding from anyone from Durham special. Nate and Alicia definitely did not disappoint! From start to finish, their day was unique, beautiful, and thoroughly planned. They planned an Autumn Rustic Country wedding on the River, and they nailed it on the head.  I could say much more, but really, I think only pictures can accurately reflect how amazing this day was.

Dave and Paige are an amazing couple! When I asked what one of their favorite stories was about themselves, they gave the perfect response. When Dave met Paige, he told his mom she was the one! They did not start dating until 7 years later.  Its things like that, which only make a day like this so much more special!

They planned a perfect Bohemian Glamour themed wedding, down to every last detail. Including what I thought was super cool, but home made cook books with some of their families favorite recipes! I mean really? How awesome is that! (p.s. I am gonna need a pdf of that, I didn't get one and I need all the help in the kitchen I can get!)

Their first dance to Ed Sheerans Think Out Loud, was an absolutely perfect moment, with a gorgeous dress spinning about. And I had to include some bouquet toss shots, that I normally don't in these post, because Paige threw the bouquet like a boss, and Dave matched it!

And to get into the sentimental moment, that really hit me in the feel goods. Daves wedding ring is that of his late grandfather, and I happened to be outside, at just the moment when he showed his grandmother his ring. I mean come on, really? You trying to make people cry tears of beauty?

With all the planning and thought, they threw an absolutely spectacular day, and every vendor came through and provided a perfect evening.
