This wedding was pure serendipity. Rachel got in touch with me about photographing her DIY picnic wedding and asked on the off chance if I was going to be in New Hampshire on a certain weekend in September - and it just so happened I already had my trip to New England planned with that day free. It was meant to be! Rachel and Stephen are so sweet, so in love, and so clever. Rachel works for the World Wildlife Fund, and Stephen is a physicist. They met in grad school together at Yale University and have since moved to Washington, DC, but they wanted to get married near the lake where Rachel spent every summer growing up. Almost every element of this wedding is green and DIY. It's chock full of personal touches and is so true to Rachel and Stephen as a couple. I loved everything about their day, especially how it was completed with a sunset canoe ride around the lake. Bliss.

Halloween might be over, but fall is still going strong! Nothing says autumn joy quite like a colorful pumpkin patch. I'm so excited to share images from a fun styled collaboration with the brilliant minds over at Rambling House, an awesome New Hampshire based event and food design company. These ladies are such fun to work with, and they're full of creativity! Rambling House details the process for creating elements from this shoot over on Rustic Wedding Chic - be sure to check it out for more info on all of their DIY projects! Isn't a pumpkin patch the perfect place for an elopement?
