Tag purity springs

And here we are at Sep­tem­ber! Chel­sea & George kic­ked off the busy month with a beau­ti­ful and f.u.n. wed­ding at Purity Springs in Madi­son, NH.

Chel­sea and the girls were just finishing up with final touches when I arri­ved. I love this photo on the right, its that look I some­ti­mes catch just when the rea­lity hits. When the dress is on and you look in the mirror and you think — today I’m actually going to be someone’s wife. And Stepha­nie looks so proud to wit­ness that moment too.

Their lake­side wed­ding was lovely — but no where near as lovely as how George gazes as Chel­sea. In the left hand pic­ture he was unsure if he should stay or go meet her. So cute.

Their parents watched in love and awe that their chil­dren were get­ting married! 

So pretty! 

Once these two were asked to kiss, they didn’t stop for the rest of the night! I snag­ged the right hand photo as they were wal­king away from the cere­mony com­ple­tely obli­vious to anyone else being even remo­tely close! (thanks telephoto lens) 

I don’t gene­rally post this many “for­mals” but as you’ll see, we had so much fun it was not the stan­dard for­mals ses­sion! It was hard for me to cut back to just this many! Don’t be afraid to have fun guys! Having peo­ple that make you feel rela­xed and happy in your wed­ding is so crucial! And if they can just about bench press you even bet­ter

While they did get him into the hori­zon­tal groom posi­tion — this ‘get­ting there’ shot was priceless! 

In case you didn’t recog­nize it, they’re “Captaining”

One sweet and sim­ple. I love the girls ger­bera dai­sies the colors are so perfect.

Chel­sea makes it look easy! 

Where’s George? 

I love them all! 

I dis­mis­sed the rest of the group for a few moments with the newly­weds. … Still Kissing!

And then — just when I thought there was a cap to the group fun level — - they brought out the wheel­ba­rrow. HECK YES!

Yay wed­ding!

The co-​best man gave a tag team co-​speech that had the whole place in laughter!

Looks lovely and serene from the outside, no? 

Those gerbera’s again — such a great color scheme! And so much fabu­lous candy that matched!

I love this shot

Look at the deter­mi­na­tion on her face.

Duck! Pow — right in the kisser. 

As you might have noti­ced these two are a hoot so when I saw them over in the cor­ner gig­gling with the camera I had to know what was going on! 

Dan­cing the night away!

George looks pretty in pur­ple

Wheeeeeee! 

As the sun got lower we snuck out for a few more shots. I’ll be honest, when this came up on my screen as I was edi­ting them I got a little teary eyed. It so sums up these two and how they desc­ri­bed to me what they wan­ted for their wed­ding when we first met.

Back inside the dan­cing was off the hook. (Off the hook? do peo­ple even SAY that any­more??) Well, I do.

The night star­ted to wind down but the dan­cing kept going. 

I took my leave of these two and the were still kissing!

Thank you Chel­sea, George & crew for having me at this ama­zing affair and making me feel so part of the pack and thank you so much for your lovely words below.

Melissa was fan­tas­tic! She was the second pho­to­grapher that we met with for our Sept 2009 wed­ding and we knew right away that she was the one for us. She was so easy to talk to, her price was just right for us, and she didn’t try to sway us with a salesman-​type approach (which we were really tur­ned off from with the 1^st pho­to­grapher). When the big day came, Melissa was right there to cap­ture it all in such a non-​intrusive way. We had a very fun, somewhat crazy bri­dal party and Melissa see­med to be the per­fect match for them. We had such a great time taking the family and bri­dal party shots. Melissa recently sent us the link with all of our pho­tos finished and we were soo impres­sed! I didn’t want to stop loo­king at them! We would highly recom­mend Melissa Koren Pho­to­graphy to anyone loo­king for a great pho­to­grapher in NH!
