Oh Monica and Kurt…where do I even begin?!?! I know that there was a time before I knew them, but it certainly seems much longer ago than a year! I should have known from the fact that our initial meeting lasted four hours and that we ended it still talking in the doorway that we were going to be friends, but I just adore these two! They are brilliant scientists/computer geeks/adventurers/academics with super quick wit and hilarious senses of humor whose love can be seen in every interaction between them! They are incredibly supportive of one another’s dreams and ambitions, even when it means commuting between California and New Hampshire for some period of time. Monica grounds Kurt through the long work days that are part of moving forward in his career and Kurt talks Monica back from the ledge when she’s one more all-nighter into a gigantic presentation. He never says no when she begins talking about miniature horses and fainting goats and pot-bellied pigs and any of the other cutie-pie critters that are destined to be a part of her menagerie one day and she’s the very first one to laugh when he makes a clever crack! They are fun, wonderful, generous people and photographing their beautiful fall wedding at the Mount Washington Hotel in New Hampshire’s White Mountains was just an absolute blast!
Monica & Kurt chose to do a First Look before their ceremony! This is such an amazing way to check in with one another, slow things down a bit, and to ground yourselves in the meaning of the day before being caught up in the whirlwind of friends and family that are such a wonderful (but potentially overwhelming!) part of every wedding!
Emily Herzig did an INSANE job on the floral design…absolutely stunning!!
Monica & Kurt- thanks so much!! You guys are awesome!!
Have I mentioned lately how amazing my clients are? I truly get to work with the best people- people who inspire me to be a better person, to give more of myself, and to deeply appreciate all that I have in my wonderful life!! Morgan and Joe are such a perfect example! Morgan is an ICU nurse who not only dedicates herself wholeheartedly to her calling, but does so with a heart so utterly full of compassion and empathy (and balanced with an AWESOME sense of humor!) that you just know to your toes that her patients and their families couldn’t possibly be in better hands! Joe spends his time reaching out into the community and has a knack for forging deep and enduring connections with people…his commitment to his relationships is amazing! As you might imagine, then, it wasn’t surprising to find their wedding day filled with people who just absolutely love these two as well as an energy between Morgan and Joe that just sparkled! They so clearly adore one another and I feel so excited to have been a part of their day!
Speaking of sparkle…
A little Bridesmaids action!
Morgan’s Mom collected and hand-hammered all of the antique spoon favors…such a cool idea!!
Hoppin’ dance floor!
Morgan & Joe- thank you both so much for sharing your beautiful day with us! We think you guys are awesome!!!
I love the shot when they are recessing down the aisle after the ceremony and looking into each others’ eyes. Such a sweet moment!
These pictures are gorgeous. I love the ones of the girls with their pouty faces in front of the store and tears come to my eyes of the one of Morgan and Gramps.
These pictures are so amazing!! It looks like a gorgeous wedding at one of my favorite places! Hermit Island is beautiful! I even saw my old campsite in one of the pictures. Congratulations! Everything looks wonderful!
This collection sums up the night perfectly! Such a fun couple and a perfect celebration and these pictures depict all of that. Morgan, you are beautiful <3
It’s only been a few weeks but these pictures instantly brought me back to the love and energy of the day. Thank you for that. No adjective does them justice…beautiful, amazing, stunning, gorgeous, they are all of these things but the words seem so inadequate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
LOVE the photos! Looks like a beautiful day for a beautiful couple! =)
The photos look like scenes from a romantic movie. Of course the stars of the show are Morgan & Joe. (yes, I know that rhymes)God Bless their marriage.

Kerri and Phil were married on Saturday at the amazing Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland, Maine! Their stunning ceremony was followed by one heck of a party at the ever fabulous Grace Restaurant!! It was the absolute PERFECT ending to my wedding season…Kerri and Phil are not just two of my very favorite clients, but fantastic people who I just feel so lucky to have had the chance to get to know!! Their friends and families came out in drives to celebrate their tangible love and it was a crowd to remember!! Here’s just a little peek to whet your appetites for more!
Have an amazing time in Hawai’i, you guys!!!!
Prayerful Wedding Congratulations. I’ll have this memorable photo nearest the Blessed Sacrament so that you may be perpetually lifted up to God and embraced with His love. May your life be richly blessed and a joy to your loved ones and the world in need of love… as you grow in age, wisdom and grace before God and all you come in contact with. May you know the joy of living, enduring, trusting and loving like Jesus and Mary, your dear Mom and Dad and all faithful couples through life’s challenges because at the center of every experience is the Wellspring of graces, the God of Love, dear favored Phil and Kerri! We look forward to your cherished “bundle of joy”…with eager expectation and love, Tita Cil
These are fantastic! Cindy, THANK YOU so much for capturing our day for us. Kurt and I could not have asked for a better photographer, and to make a great friend in the process just sweetens the deal we got.
Gorgeous!!
Absolutely stunning! I laughed reading the spot on description of Monica and Kurt, and (I must admit) got a little teary eyed seeing the first look and ceremony pictures. Great job capturing such emotion and love!
Loved the wedding!
Auntie- You looked like a princess!
Great photos!
What wonderful photos! Definitely captured what looked to be a wonderful event!!
Cindy:
Wow is the first word that comes to mind on how you captured not only the wedding activities, but also the mood and aura of all of us, especially the families and wedding party. Leona and I are thrilled that Monica and Kurt had the good sense to get you involved with their big day.
The photo of the bridal party under the moose is fabulous! What a wonderful very special day to be part f! It was simply stellar!!
The photos are as beautiful as the wedding was! We were so pleased to have been able to attend, and now we can relive the lovely weekend through the photos. I especially loved the close up of the wedding cake with the little robotic bride and groom. Somehow I missed seeing that during the reception! How cute is that?!
Jessica Loving
Great photos from a beautiful wedding!
Great pictures of the momentous day.
The only picture out of character was the one with the moose — did it have a bumper sticker “I climbed Mount Washington” ??
I wish I had been invited, I would have loved seeing all those fall colors in person. The pictures capture only a smidgeon of the fall pageant.
Congrats and best wishes for a long and prosperous life together.
