I had such a great time at Lisa and Chris' wedding! I was able to photograph both the bride and groom getting ready, which is always fun. And then I walked with the guys through the (very neat) town of Northampton to the church. It took a couple of tries, but we got that Abbey Road shot, I think! And then of course the arrival of Lisa and the girls in the red VW bus... Although I wasn't able to shoot during the ceremony itself, I caught Lisa and her dad walking down the aisle, and then the very end. The VW bus was definitely a focus of many of the photos afterward - Chris had a great idea to get a shot of them in the hubcap - kind of a mini-fisheye look! And then we were able to go out for a few minutes during the reception to take a couple of photos around town - I think the Calvin theater shots were worth standing in the middle of the road. At the reception, many of the details were handmade - the table signs, placecards, favors, and cake topper, to name a few. And once dinner was over, the Chicken Slacks kept the party going into the night - if you're looking for a band, definitely check them out!

I don’t mind a bit of a drive and I had never been to Northampton before, so I got there early to check it out. I had no idea what a cute town it is and how much fun and character there is in downtown Northampton. I guess I should’ve know since it is a college town, right there with Smith College right there. I was able to walk around and enjoy the shops and cafes for a little while before heading over to Hotel Northampton for this very fun wedding! Now I can say I am a Northampton wedding photographer :). I am so glad I got to be a part of Chris and Lisa’s Hotel Northampton Wedding!

Only a few outtakes! We were getting some photos of the guys walking across the street with this amazing backdrop of downtown Northampton.

So cute! Look at Lisa’s face in the bus window.

I wasn’t allowed to take photos during the wedding ceremony, but here are some happy photos after the couple came out of the church!

The VW Bus! OMG… This was such a fun addition to make the wedding day even more unique for Lisa and Chris.

I am loving all of these details! Especially the vintage-style poster that they had designed.

One of my favorites! Lisa and Chris in front of the iconic Calvin theater in Northampton. This town is just so cute!

The Chicken Slacks were amazing! If you can hire a live band, I highly recommend these guys! I don’t care what kind of music you like, they can keep the dance floor going.
