Audrey & Justin 09.12.09

Audrey & Jus­tin hos­ted their wed­ding in Ply­mouth, NH. The cere­mony was at the Greenhouse at the Ita­lian Farmhouse and the get­ting ready and recep­tion were at the Com­mon Man Inn, all part of the Com­mon Man family! These loca­tions were anything but common!

I arri­ved to the first get­ting ready room and imme­dia­tely spot­ted these two details — I don’t know which is bet­ter, the awe­some hair comb in Audrey’s bou­quet or the flo­wers in the wine bottle. 

Cheers!

The boys were get­ting ready in the same loca­tion, just one room over and they nee­ded to move Audrey to the final get­ting ready room to get dres­sed so they were all loo­king to see if they could catch a glimpse of an empty hallway — 

When the coast was clear they made a mad dash with Melissa guar­ding the boys’ exit next door. It was very ‘mis­sion impossible-​esque’ 

Made it safe and sound! This is such a great room! 

Audrey just loo­king stun­ning & her mom and sis­ter saying hello. I love good hugs. 

Some fun pla­ces to pho­to­graph the dress & shoes

Audrey’s gor­geous make-​up was a joint effort bet­ween her­self and her bri­des­maid Jamie :) 

After Melissa finished guar­ding the boys’ door she got all dolled up and came to the bri­dal suite. She was stop­ped in her tracks when she saw the smo­kin’ hot dress han­ging from the ant­ler chandelier. 

Her sis­ter Sarah helps get her into her dress while her mom & bri­des­maids look on. Mom is clutching on to Jen’s hand with a look of exci­te­ment and pride. 

More help from Jamie in get­ting finished up 

Gram loo­ked gor­geous! I like how well these two snug­gle together. 

Audrey’s mom had sco­ped out this great brick room so we detou­red through the inn before hea­ding off to the ceremony.

Wow. Just wow. This moment gets me every time but when I pai­red these two shots for the blog I felt like I was there again and I could feel how tan­gi­ble the look bet­ween them is as they pre­pare to say their vows. 

Their dear friend Ben per­for­med the cere­mony. It was so per­so­nal and heart­felt and full of anec­do­tes. Laugh­ter & tears came and went throughout the whole time.

How ama­zing is this venue!? 

I’m pretty sure Ben called Jus­tin out on something he’d done and Audrey agreed! 

One of the things that never occu­rred to me when I star­ted shoo­ting wed­dings is the immense con­cen­tra­tion it takes to adorn your loved one with a wed­ding band. In this ins­tance, Ben ope­ned the box for Jus­tin to take Audrey’s ring and ins­tead he reached for his and as he went to put it on her rea­li­zed that it was the wrong thing! I mean just look at the size of Justin’s hand hol­ding Audrey’s tiny dainty ring. :-D 

Once they got the bands right it was time to seal the deal. They’re so romantic. 

The sky had threa­te­ned serious rain a few times, but it knew bet­ter than to try and washout this bunch. 

High Five!

The girls had pre­sen­ted Audrey with these OMG cute boots & umbre­lla just in case and I can’t thank them enough for pro­vi­ding some extra fun shots! 

More roc­kin’ bri­dal party entran­ces — Go Long! (is that the right term? I’m about as sports illi­te­rate as they come) 

She smi­led this smile the whole night. WHAT A DIP! 

This was a first for me then — best man speech off the iPhone. He had a hard time hol­ding the mic and scro­lling at the same time. I bet he wished the iPad was out then! 

The cake was so deli­cate but I couldn’t resist pla­ying with my fisheye on the flowers.

They were equally as deli­cate with each other when they sha­red a first bite. 

I Love. Love. Love how Jus­tin can enve­lope Audrey’s whole tiny being with just one arm. She looks so safe and secure and he still has a free hand! 

Loo­king gla­mo­rous and Jus­tin dan­cing with his grandmother. 

Both her dad and his mom look lost in thoughts of their jour­ney with their kids through this point. 

Then it was time to get down! 

They tried to tell me that Sarah, Audrey’s sis­ter had just given birth to twins a few months prior and I refu­sed to believe it — then these little dudes made their cameo at the recep­tion. TOO CUTE! (and wow Sarah, wow.) :) 

It’s come to my atten­tion that I like to take pic­tu­res of crazy dancing. Thank you all for deli­ve­ring for me. 

They can’t all be crazy - but jud­ging by the other move­ment on the dance floor I’m not sure this was really a slow song, I think Audrey & Jus­tin were just lost in a moment. And I love that about them.

Audrey & Jus­tin — thank you both so much for hono­ring me with the oppor­tu­nity to be your pho­to­grapher. Your wed­ding was so full of love. It was a plea­sure to be a part of ~MelissaKoren

Thank you so the beau­ti­ful pic­tu­res! They came out gor­geous… I can’t wait to start sen­ding them around to people! ~Audrey
