daily mantra:
the strongest muscle in the human body is the heart….{unknown}
……
i woke up to the sound of pounding rain against my roof on Saturday morning, and as usual, the perpetually willful leak in my mudroom. having shot almost my entire last wedding season in the pouring rain, i wasn’t worried, but i will admit, i was a bit disappointed. Georgie and Andrew and i met this past winter in a Starbucks in Portland to discuss their wedding, and when the worlds “vineyard” came out of Georgie’s mouth, i am not sure i heard much of anything else for a good five minutes. her description of Flag Hill Winery in Lee, New Hampshire sounded like my fantasy venue, and the rain on Saturday morning dampened my spirits a bit quite literally. i packed the car and headed out early, and as i drove down interstate 95 the rain stopped, the fog lifted, and the sun unveiled itself to reveal a truly beautiful day.
thank goodness.
we started out the day at the beautiful Wingate Spa and their grounds were amazing

love the bottom of these shoes almost as much as the top of them.

the guys were just up the road having a cook out and getting ready…
while i did mention the sun came out, i did not mention that it was 95 degrees with a chance of severe thunderstorms and {gulp} a tornado.
still, Georgianna definitely kept her cool beautifully…i am always in awe of my amazing brides.
Andrew and Georgie opted to see each other before the ceremony, and i just love it when my couples choose this.
it is so intimate and personal, and it allows for almost immediate fun right after the ceremony.
getting on a very large, very high ladder. all in a days work for this girl.
Sophie and Penny, Andrew’s dog and Georgie’s cat, were also a big part of the ceremony…without even being in attendance…
Georgie’s sister sang for the couples first dance, and her dad composed a classical piece for their father/daughter dance.
one amazing family.
