Vermont Wedding at the Kingsland Bay State Park | Vermont Wedding Photographer

Q: Can you handle rain or changing weather?

Yes. I bring clear umbrellas, plan covered or tree-lined spots, and adjust the timeline to use the best available light.

Q: How many photos do we receive?

Expect around 60–100 edited images per hour of coverage, delivered in a high-resolution online gallery.

Q: Can we add a second photographer?

Yes—recommended for larger guest counts or separate getting-ready locations to maximize candid coverage.

Q: Do you photograph rehearsal dinners or welcome parties?

Absolutely. Adding coverage the night before is great for candid storytelling and VIP portraits in a relaxed setting.

Real moments. True-to-color edits. Classic Lake Champlain views.

Shelburne is one of Vermont’s most timeless wedding destinations—historic barns, lakefront lawns, and artful spaces set against the Adirondack and Green Mountains. I photograph weddings that feel relaxed and genuine, so your gallery looks like your day (and not a photoshoot).
