Married: Anna and EJ - Part 2

This is the 2nd part to Anna & Ej's wedding post. Photographers don't often post family group shots on their blog. They usually keep it to photos of the bride and groom, bridal party and events as they happen throughout the day because the formal family photographs are usually thought of as less creative. You tend to want to shoot them quickly so the parents and relatives can move onto the cocktail hour and mingle with the guests. I wanted to include this first photo of Anna and EJ with her family as it was just a quick shot outside the church. I loved how they all grabbed an arm of each other...their happiness just radiated out!

The next photos are at The Williamsville Inn (1797) in Stockbridge, MA. Kandy and Erhard Wendt are the Innkeepers and Erhard is also a Certified Master Chef and Culinary Instructor. His specialty is Classic French and German cuisine. To sum up, the food was amazing!!


Loved these lemonade dispensers from Pottery Barn!



























The siblings! This was the first time in many years that all of Anna's mother's siblings were able to be together. After hearing this, we quickly got them together for a photo outside.

Anna & EJ, we really were honored to photograph your wedding day!

Married: Anna and EJ - Williamsville Inn, Stockbridge, MA

Anna and EJ were married early in June in Stockbridge, MA, which is in the Berkshires. It's a fabulous place for a wedding, it's so pretty there, and it was so nice to see a lot of familiar faces...in May we had photographed Anna's cousin's wedding!

We joined Anna at the SEVEN salon.spa which is a really fabulous hair salon and day spa in Stockbridge. Anna was already looking amazing and from there we followed her to the The Williamsville Inn where she finished getting ready. The inn is set on 10 acres and it's known for it's amazing food by chef-owners Kandy and Erhard Wendt. More about their reception at that amazing inn in the Part 2 segment.

Crocus Hale provided the flowers and Anna's lovely dress was from Pronuptia Bridals in Worcester, MA.









Anna's sister carefully applied the finishing touches back at The Williamsville Inn.





















EJ and Anna had an impromptu receiving line after the ceremony...there were so many congratulatory hugs! The grounds of St. Joseph's provided a great location for some of the bridal party photos. We were JUST finishing when the rain came. I have to say, it didn't dampen anyone's spirits!!
