On a gorgeous blue sky and green grass day in mid-July, Jenny and Mike were married outdoors at the Red Barn at Hampshire College, the beautiful farm-like venue in Amherst, Massachusetts.

It was nice to be back in the Northampton region for Jenny and Mike’s very personalized and picturesque wedding.  For the personalized part, in addition to their custom vows, the readings were really eclectic–and included Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young” as well as “The Velveteen Rabbit.”

As for the picturesque part, please check out the photos (note Mike’s cool off-white suit and the guys’ blue jackets, green ties and pocket squares from R. Derwin Clothiers, a boutique clothing store in Litchfield, Connecticut, owned by Mike’s mom and step-father).

Inside the intimate Red Barn, there were touching toasts from Jenny’s dad Ira and sister Stephanie.  Then it was Mike’s brother Jon’s turn as the Best Man.  Jon delivered his toast and then segued into a surprise.  Channeling his inner Blues Brother, Jon belted out “JDate Blues” (Mike and Jenny met via JDate.com) which he wrote for the occasion.  Really kicked-off the night…hilarious.

Later in the evening after speeches from both Jenny and Mike, Mike played guitar, serenading Jenny with a really sweet song.  Then it was the band’s turn…the Nite-Time band from Manhattan was excellent, especially Amy Serrago’s great vocals.

A terrific time, thanks Jenny and Mike so much for having us document your wedding!
