What a great day Meghan and Matt had for their wedding this past Saturday! They got married at the Mountain Top Inn in Chittenden, VT, a beautiful outdoor venue with incredible views of the mountains. They both got ready for their wedding at the Inn, so the were some really nice opportunities to capture candid photos of each of them before their wedding. I always love being a part of all the great emotion and energy as the bride and groom are preparing for their day. The room for these photos also had wonderful natural light, which is one of my favorite types of lighting.Their ceremony was at the Inn's overlook site, which had amazing views as the photos below show. It was such a beautiful ceremony. Meghan arrived in a horse-drawn carriage, and the mountains made for a very scenic backdrop for the ceremony. We took time for a few group portraits on the hill followed by some fun photos with the wedding party and bride and groom down by the lake and then back at the Inn. They had a great reception with lots of dancing and celebration in the tent right next to the Inn.A beautiful couple, scenic venue with great photographic opportunities, and wonderful family and friends all made for the type of Vermont country wedding I so love to photograph.
