Bride with bridesmaids, smiling, holding bouquets on a bridge. Dresses are varying shades of blue.

We were welcomed into this special day with open arms and it shows in the story of images below. This collection resonates with me for 2 main reasons. First is that Hannah and Julianne’s big day was my first same sex wedding. Second, the event took place at a location of great meaning to myself, Ski Sundown in New Hartford Connecticut. What resulted is a very important collection of images that I will forever cherish. Enjoy Julianne and Hannah’s Ski Sundown wedding!!
