I have a wedding sneak peek I'm overdue to share, but for now, I'll share this amazing moment from the coldest June day at the top of Loon Mountain Resort.

[I have missed some recent sessions here on Facebook, but I can finally share this Elopement from last month! ]

Clare & Cam had their perfect celebration in the White Mountains with less than 10 by their side. Watching them look at one another and laugh with one another was so amazing. Extra bonus for me? I met this family last Fall when I photographed the bride's sister's wedding!

Quick update on delivery timeline!

I am *one day* off with gallery deliveries due to some insanely slow upload times (all galleries are edited, they're just taking their sweet time uploading). So all galleries will be delivered within the next few hours!

I'm going to do everything I can to get all album designs out for initial review by the end of the day today, but it may be early tomorrow for the last couple. BUT! Everything will be in your hands by end of day tomorrow!

This little family is special in so many ways! I photographer Israel & Caitlin's engagement session, wedding, maternity photos, and now their first family photos with Emerson (the CUTEST baby ever) and every moment spent with them is absolutely cherished.

Every wedding is beautifully different and it's part of what I love about being a wedding photographer. One day I'm photographing a very informal, non-traditional ceremony and the next I'm photographing a formal, traditional church ceremony with an elegant manor reception. Jennie dreamed of a wedding straight out of a Jane Austen novel and when Andrew chose to wear coat tails for the day and they both chose Tupper Manor for their reception, it was absolutely perfect. From an emotional ceremony to a laughter-filled reception (complete with another epic first dance that surprised everyone), their wedding day was stunningly beautiful. Congratulations, dears!! I know this day filled your hearts with joy and I'm so glad I got to be there with you! // Enjoy this sneak peek and be sure to head over to http://clients.hilarycolleen.com/ & register by entering your email address to be immediately notified when all of their images are finalized in the coming weeks!

I had been dreaming of this day for a year - and I'm not kidding. When I first met Elizabeth and Dan in their video consult, I felt so drawn to them. Their engagement session (in a gorgeous cemetery with stunning foliage last Fall) was one of my favorites I've ever done, so I began counting down to their wedding day. Dan & Elizabeth got ready together with Dan zipping up Elizabeth's dress and commenting on how stunningly perfect the floral hair piece was. They brought the same skulls we used in their engagement session, read their vows from Halloween cards, tied their futures together through handfasting and a coconut smashing ceremony, showcased an EPIC first dance, and had the night of their lives with their favorite humans. I cried a decent bit this day from so much joy and found myself wishing the night would never end. Elizabeth and Dan, congratufreakinglations. Thank you for choosing to share your wedding celebration with me and letting me see your hearts so purely. You are amazing - please always be your amazing unique selves and may your love always be as strong and true as it was this day! // Enjoy this sneak peek and be sure to head over to http://clients.hilarycolleen.com/ & register by entering your email address to be immediately notified when all of their images are finalized in the coming weeks!

Kendra & Ryan stole my heart in their engagement session. They have their own handshake, first of all, but watching the way they look at each other and laugh with each other is incredible. Their wedding day was so special on many levels - and now you get to see some of their joy.

Just popping in for an end of October update!

There are THREE weddings I owe a sneak peek and several albums I owe a proof to review.

The last 2 months have been extremely intense from pneumonia in August (still a bit of a struggle), another cycling injury at the end of September, Covid hitting our house for the first time earlier this month, and this weekend I’m away for 4 days as one of my best friends gets married which means I’m IN a wedding.

You’ve all been so patient with me without knowing the extent of things, and I truly appreciate it! All sneak peeks will be out next week when I return, ALL weddings will be fully delivered by the end of November, and ALL album designs will be sent by the beginning of December at the latest - which gives you time to review and approve to get your albums before the holidays hit.

Thank you all for an AMAZING season and I can’t wait for you to see allllll the things we did this year! 💙💙

If you're thinking about getting married at a camp on a lake, THIS IS YOUR SIGN! Kayla & Keith have been together for 11 years, so to say this day was full of excitement, emotion, and "well it's about time", are an understatement. Camp Cody in Freedom, New Hampshire is a favorite venue of mine as well, having spent my high school years just five minutes away. Any time you can get the lakes AND the mountains in one location, you've got a winner. Now, add in these two soulmates and their loved ones who have watched them grow up together, and you've got one heck of a celebration! // Enjoy this sneak peek and be sure to head over to http://clients.hilarycolleen.com/ & register by entering your email address to be immediately notified when all of their images are finalized in the coming weeks!
