For Your Sweet Tooth: Wedding Cake Round Up

January 4th, 2012 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Inspiration, Weddings

I shoot a lot of weddings throughout New England and get to see so many beautiful cakes, and more recently, a lot of cupcakes and whoopie pies, on my travels. Here’s a round up of a few of my favorite cakes and cupcakes for your sweet tooth. (I know it’s early in the New Year but we can at least look.)

Stylish Wedding in New London, NH

December 28th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Weddings

Of all the weddings I have photographed throughout New England, the grounds of the New London Historical Society are the most beautiful. They have a series of small historical store fronts, several gorgeous old barns and the most beautiful lawn and aging crab apple trees ever.

Sharing a few of my favorite moments from this fine wedding celebration. Congratulations Grace and Ryan! It was an immense joy to be a part of your amazing day.

Warm Holiday Sparkle

December 20th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Events, Inspiration, Interior Design, Weddings

There is a new (and fabulous!) wedding venue that recently opened called the River Mill at Dover Landing. It’s located in one of the mill buildings in downtown Dover, NH, which from what I can tell, seems to be a creative enclave sprinkled with engaged University students. This mill venue is super appealing because, heck yes, I fantasize about living in a loft, however unpractical they may be. The creators of River Mill did a fantastic job restoring the mill and keeping it simple so that patrons can deck it out to their liking. With exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, hanging industrial pendant lighting and wood flooring, it’s the only large capacity venue of it’s kind in the state.

Special thanks to Kate Parker Weddings for the understated and festive holiday decor.

A New England Wedding in October

October 5th, 2011 by Tanya | 1 Comment | Filed in Weddings

Fall in New England is the best, minus the fact that it means Winter will be here soon. It’s the busiest season of the year for wedding photography (hint hint, book early!) The colors are lovely and the temperature is cool and dry. Heather and Adam were married on a dock overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee and had their reception at an old train station decked out with twinkling white lights and paper lanterns. Their colors were perfection for this time of year- brown, deep purple and orange.

Congratulations Heather and Adam!

Photo Editing- A Sneak Peek

September 20th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Portraits, Weddings

This wedding in New London, NH was exceptionally lovely with a gorgeous bride and groom and incredible style everywhere. I am still editing the images and will share them later, but here’s a sneak peek at my editing process. I tend to favor warmer tones over cooler ones, and I try to get them as bright and light as possible.

For today, I am thinking I like the color on the image directly below, but I always like to wait a few days to have another look. Fresh eyes, as they say.

Which do you like the best? Difficult to decide isn’t it?

Styling a NH Countryside Wedding

September 11th, 2011 by Tanya | 1 Comment | Filed in Inspiration, Weddings

If you’re looking for inspiration for a detailed, but not-too-fussy backyard wedding, you’re in luck! Ellen and Bill were married in July and put together oodles of wonderful ideas for their unique celebration. To start, their popsickle-shaped wedding programs doubled as fans for that sticky July day. Refreshing, right?

Their tent was outfitted with hand-stitched, yellow cotton flags and table runners and the tables were adorned with bunches of wild flowers. As a snack before serving a BBQ dinner of ribs, brisket and cornbread, Ellen and Bill offered their guests old-fashioned popping corn in paper bags.

The activities were plentiful with throwback games including bocce, a bean bag toss, and croquet, and a custom built photo station that offered mustache props, cowboy hats and the like. Rather than a layered cake, they opted for the more simple whoopee pie. The bride wore a casual, white cotton, summer dress with a pair of fabulous colorful heels.

Inspired? I certainly was.

Thank you, Ellen and Bill, for being so creative and fun. It was a pleasure snapping your wedding photographs.

Yellow and Gray Wedding in Newport, RI

August 17th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Inspiration, Weddings

The pairing of yellow and soft gray has made a comeback in recent years and remains gorgeous as ever. Liz and Andrew tied the knot at this historic mansion called the Eisenhower House at Fort Adams State Park in Newport. Lemonade and stuffed quahogs were plentiful and the couple recited their vows on the wrap-around porch overlooking the water. It is never a tragedy when the couple is as beautiful looking as this one, of course. Congratulations Liz and Andrew. I wish you all the best!
