Last fall I drove up to Manchester, NH for Toni & Adam’s glorious September wedding. Toni is one of my household sister’s from our time at Franciscan University and I had such a wonderful time participating in the celebrations of her and Adam’s wedding. Toni had rented this beautiful huge country farmhouse airbnb for the bridal party to stay in the night before and after the wedding and I actually stayed here too. It was a beautiful place to get ready for a wedding and we found the perfect spot for Toni and Adam’s first look just five minutes down the road so it was super convenient too.

Toni and Adam met each other the summer after Toni graduated from FUS at a young adult even in her hometown of Manchester. A couple years later brought us to their wedding day. I actually just got to see both Toni and Adam a few weekends ago at my household reunion and it was so great to see them and see Toni’s precious baby bump and hear how they are eagerly preparing for their little one’s arrival this June. (If you make it to the bottom of this post you’ll find a picture of me and Toni from a few weeks ago).

Toni and Adam opted to do a first look because we knew it was going to be dark when we came out of the Church after their 5:30pm wedding Mass. I found the most perfect hidden little park that was nice and secluded and tucked away from the road. Surrounded only by birch trees and birds they got to spend precious time alone together reading their love letters to each other and praying one last time as an engaged couple. And the portraits that followed happen to be some of my favorites from all my 2018 weddings.

A few fun behind the scenes photos from the day:
