What a lovely wedding this was at the Hillstead.  I had never shot there before and it was just so relaxed, classy and comfortable and Amy and Brendan added a lot of personal touches to make it truly unique.  Amy got ready at the Hillstead and I loved their bridal room for portraits and the fresh roses in Amy's hair:

 



The Maid of Honor:

Amy walked down the aisle to the guests all singing the Beatles, "All You Need is Love" – AWESOME!  Also, I think Amy laughed the entire wedding.

Amy and Brendan did a receiving line, then we took the family formals in the gardens.  My favorite shot of Mike's:

For Amy and Brendan's portraits, we took a walk around the house:

The reception was held in the barn/theatre adjacent to the house. 

I've now been to two weddings in a row with no wedding cake … may be getting more popular (will blog the other wedding next week).  Instead, Amy and Brendan's family members each made the dessert they are know for and Amy had these beautiful cards printed up, telling the story of each.  It was such a great personal touch:

We ended on a little late night portrait session:

Thank you guys for beautiful night!
