Tina and Garret were married on August 3 at Forster's Tree Farm, and believe me when I tell you their wedding was unbelievably beautiful!!  The details of their wedding were a photographer's dream!

Steven (my second shooter and amazing husband) and I headed up to New Hampshire on Friday, we settled into our hotel, had a great seafood dinner, charged our gear and woke early to get on the road to Tina and Garret's wedding.  As we approached Forster's, driving higher and higher and higher the view only got better (which obviously made me even more excited.)!  I headed off to capture the details and then met up with Tina and her bridal party to capture their final touches and get dressed.  While Steven headed to meet up with Garret and his entourage. 

 

 

Before their ceremony, Tina and Garret did a "First Look-No-Look"!  It was so sweet!

Tina and Garret's wedding was so beautifully written and the surrounds were just as beautiful

They had a custom made box, where they wrote each other a love note, along side a bottle of wine.  Tina's parents put a nail into the box, Garret's parents put a nail into the box then together Tina and Garret put the final two nails in the box.  On their 15 wedding anniversary they will open the box, read the letters and enjoy a bottle of wine! 

 

 

 Both Steven and myself said we wished we had done this at our wedding! 

ALL future couples...DO THIS!

Following their traditional ceremony Tina and Garret did a Tree Planing Ceremony, which is a tradition at Forster's.  Together they plant the tree, under the watchful eye of Steve, the owner and care taker of the trees, and in seven years Tina and Garret will return to Forster's and this very tree will be their Christmas tree! Tina's grandmother delivered a beautiful, heartfelt and humorous reading. 

Here are some detail shots, Tina and I had talked about all the projects and details that she was working on throughout the planning and I was so excited to see them in person, and they did not disappoint...

 

Here are some  more of my favorite shots from their wedding...

Garret looked at me like I was a little crazy when I asked him to hold the bouquet down, I told him not to worry and that I was doing something "artsy".

 

The reception was filled with SO much dancing and laughing, we had SUCH a blast!!!

  

Tina & Garret-  Thank you both so much for having Steven and I, we had a seriously good time!  You and your families SPOILED us.  It was such an honor to be a part of your day, cheer and congratulations!
