As a NY based wedding photographer, it’s a real treat to photograph a simple Vermont Summer Wedding.

In the southern part of Vermont’s Green Mountains sits Lake Bomoseen Lodge and Taproom. The lodge features an unobstructed view of the pristine undeveloped lake and its simple accommodations. The lake is perfect for paddling and small watercraft; an ideal backdrop for their wedding. For Max and Lizzy’s wedding day, the waters of Lake Bomoseen were almost mirror-like in the morning and throughout the day.

Where to get married in Vermont? … Where to get married period.

Lizzy and Max chose Lake Bomoseen Lodge because it would be a mini-vacation for both of their families and their guests after a year of quarantine. Lizzy’s family travelled from Rochester, NY and Max’s family from Central New Jersey. Neither family would have the “home field advantage” as Lizzy informed me.

A full wedding weekend.

The weekend kicked off lake side with a family barbecue at Lake Bomoseen Lodge and Tap Room on Friday night. Guests arrived from all over the northeast as the smell of BBQ, bonfire, and s’mores filled the air. The next morning, Family and friends gathered early in the morning for water-sports, while the girls started to get ready.

What it means to be a NYC Wedding Photographer.

The weekend kicked off lake side with a family barbecue at Lake Bomoseen Lodge and Tap Room on Friday night. Guests arrived from all over the northeast as the smell of BBQ, bonfire, and s’mores filled the air. Just like many wedding weekends, I started photographing before the wedding day. As a NYC Wedding Photographer and destination photographer, I love documenting wedding weekends as much as I love photographing a single wedding day. Photographing the full weekend, starting with the rehearsal dinner tells the whole story of your wedding. The moments outside of your ceremony and reception provide a ton of amazing and fun photos where guests are relaxed, and comfortable in their regular every day clothing.

Why should you have a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Photographer?

If you google “Wedding Photographers” you’ll most often see “Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Photographer” as well. The best way to describe your search result is the following analogy, “you wouldn’t turn your car on in 0* weather and crank it up to 100mph all at once. Your car needs time to warmup.” Photographing a wedding for a wedding photographer is very similar. A wedding photographer needs some time to get to know everyone and see who is who. This is super helpful on your wedding day as your photographer will already know or have a sense of who the cousins are, the grandparents, siblings, and bridal party.
