The Wedding after the Storm at Butternut Farm in Stowe, MA
We’ve all heard about the calm before the storm. If this is truly the case, then it is afterwards when all the beauty happens. I got to witness this first hand as the wedding photographer for Dereck and Dessiree’s outdoor wedding at Butternut Farms in Stowe, MA. It had to be one of the heaviest downpours I’ve encountered during the last 12 years as a photojournalistic wedding photographer. There was little if any hope of an outdoor wedding that day. But true to New England fashion, the weather broke and the clouds parted just in time for the bride’s procession (I’m sure much too close for Dereck and Dessiree’s comfort, though). The results were incredible and allowed me to create some really unique photography. And I would be remiss if I failed to mention Dessiree’s steadfast optimism throughout it all.
