Alton Bay Elopement on 4-3-21

Liz and Josh, your day could not have come together any better after many change of plans! It may not have been the way you planned it from the beginning, but it was a wonderful celebration nonetheless. From a beautiful sunshine day to celebrating the two of you with all your immediate family, your elopement was perfect. 

I love intimate ceremonies with a small gathering of family. You can just feel the emotion! I love how Liz’s mom married them, such a sweet touch. It was great having everything in one location, at the Alton Bay gazebo. I love being able to meet your family and get to know them before the ceremony. I remember asking Josh if he was going to cry when he saw Liz, and he wasn’t sure. But he definitely did!

I know that this was just the beginning of the celebration of your love with the big party coming later in 2022. I think this was a wonderful way to say I do on 4-3-21 (an anniversary that’ll be hard to forget). The details is something I’ll never forget like Liz’s sparkly shoes and her denim jacket that says “Mrs. Durkee”. It was perfect for a chilly day on the lake.  

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of the start of your forever… it truly was a JOY, and it was amazing to get to witness the love you have for one another. It is such an honor to be part of your love story. I’m so excited to share my favorite images from your sweet day. I hope I can celebrate with you, your family and friends again in 2022!

Enjoy, you two!
