My first experience with this family was about a year before when I met sweet Vera and her mum & dad for some one year family photos in Exeter.   I knew then that she was going to be the sweetest little flower girl in her Aunt Jen’s wedding, and I was definitely right on that one.

I arrived at Jen’s parent’s house to find the girls calmly and demurely preparing for the day.  The atmosphere was just so chill and yet, there was no doubt that excitement filled everyone’s hearts & minds. The gorgeous car took them to the church for a beautiful ceremony and then it was off to the Connors Family Retreat center which is, hands down, one of the most amazing places I’ve ever had the honor to photograph.  This post is picture heavy, you’ve been warned, but there was so much magic and stunning nature there I couldn’t possible hold back and narrow down my favorites.  It’s all too much a part of Jen & Pete’s story!

Ah! It leaves me breathless every time I look through the photos again!  THANK YOU Jen & Pete (And Pam & Tricia for passing my name along) for welcoming me into your story with such open arms. ~mk
