When Janina and Will decided to get married, they knew they wanted their day to be focused on what mattered most to them and their friends and family.

A wedding photographer’s hot take on things you should and shouldn’t do during your wedding day.

We’re getting ever closer to my first summer wedding of the year, and I cannot wait to get into the groove of photographing weddings again. What better way to get into the mood of summer weddings than by reminiscing on Jill and Jeremy’s intimate elopement on Lake Willoughby from last summer.

When Jill reached out after finding me from a mutual friend, she was so excited to plan something that would surprise her girlfriend while also making sure she could make it an experience she would love. When the time came for us meet downtown at the top of Church Street in Burlington, we were both in for a surprise.

Can I share too many images of engagement sessions on Lake Champlain? No. No I can’t. Whenever I have the chance to combine my love for the waterfront in Burlington with taking bright and golden engagement photos with awesome couples, you best believe I’m one happy chica.

Here’s the scenario: after a ton of research, you’ve booked your dream wedding photographer, picked a date for your engagement photo session, maybe even have a great location in mind. The one thing you still don’t know - how the heck are you ever gonna look good for those photos!?
