Inn on Boltwood Wedding || Chris and Katie

I’m finally sharing the full wedding from Chris and Katie’s amazing wedding at the Inn on Boltwood! I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get this up. It was a beautiful spot (and it’s been so long that it’s a new name - it used to be called the Lord Jeffrey Inn), and one that was new to me. I loved walking around the property and finding all these spots for photos. And they really utilized the best parts of the Inn with their greenhouse ceremony (a tight fit, so would be best for guest counts of around 60 or lower), and then their reception on the rooftop of the inn. The rooftop has this amazing old fireplace which added so much charm and a great backdrop for the dance floor.

The Inn on Boltwood is right in downtown Amherst, do we just got a few photos walking on the sidewalk there. I love the personality of this town!

The amazing greenhouse setup! Katie and Chris leaned into the greenhouse vibe by adding greenery along the aisle.

Oh my heart! You can see Chris’s reflection as he sees Katie walking down the aisle, which is a fun detail I don’t think I even noticed until I started editing these photos! And then Katie’s mom (below), had an emotional response as she saw her daughter walking down the aisle.

Because Chris and Katie did their first look and all the photos before the wedding, they got to hang out with their guests for the full cocktail hour. I love to be able to capture candid moments like these of the guests enjoying themselves!

This is the gorgeous fireplace I was talking about! And Katie and Chris had it decorated so beautifully.

I’m pretty sure this was my first ever rooftop reception. Being in New England, I guess they are more rare since you really never know with the weather. Chris and Katie were super lucky in that this was pretty much a perfect June day!

As the sun went down, the candles were lit and it was an amazing ambience there on the rooftop at the Inn on Boltwood.
