elisabeth & jonathan

years ago i met lis. she was a wedding photographer. shortly after that i met jonathan. he was a wedding photographer. shortly after that they met one another. fast forward a bit and lis and jonathan are two amazing wedding photographers marrying one another and i had the honor of capturing part of their day...

the weekend took place in arlington, vermont at the west mountain inn...

my pictures don't do justice to how beautiful the barn looked....

what moms do the morning of...

what dads do the morning of...

after spending a few minutes hanging out with lis getting ready, i headed over to hang with jonathan... it is a funny thing to be photographing your wedding photographer friend's wedding while he is in the position of groom. we've both photographed plenty of dudes getting dressed, so we both know how it goes. hah. he did a good job being a groom...

sweet shoes... sweet suit....

tying a tie on your wedding day can take many tries....

and some internet assistance...

jonathan...handsome and waiting for his bride...

this is where the really big smiles show up and stay all day...

i just love how much happy is in all of these photos!

lis tries to lure the alpacas to her while jonathan tries to convince her otherwise...

yay for alpacas!

lis is such a nice bride, she even shared her bouquet with the alpacas... i love me any bride that is willing to feed her bouquet to an animal!

jonathan and his two nieces who happen to be redonkulously cute...

um, cute!

lis stops to give a kiss on her way down the aisle. i think being a wedding photographer you've seen the walk down the aisle so many times that you really take it in when it is your turn... lis was all smiles and waves and kisses down the aisle... it was adorable...

sisters!
