Leah and Lorraine are two amazing women who reside in Southern California. When they became engaged they were looking for the perfect spot to hold their wedding ceremony and reception. With only a handful of states legally recognizing their same-sex union they began to research their options. After settling on Vermont they found and hired Joelle Smith from East Hill Events to help them plan their out of state wedding.  Then they travelled there to check out locations in person and decide on the perfect setting for their big day. They fell in love with Juniper Hill Inn which sits on top of a mountain in Windsor, Vermont.  Over 50 of their closest friends and family came from across the united states to join them and celebrate their marriage.  The entire weekend was very special.  They had a welcome BBQ on the Friday evening where Brian and I had a chance to meet most of the guests.  The wedding day was Saturday and we began coverage when breakfast was served at 9 am.  Their first look took place about 1 pm, followed by an intimate photo session about ten minutes away from the Inn.  They wanted to spend some time together, alone, on their wedding day and we captured some beautiful moments between them.  The ceremony was filled with personal touches; vows that made everyone giggle and cry.  The details that they had worked on from their home in California and brought with them were incredible.  I loved all the vintage flair in their flowers and decor and even the welcome gift bags they created for each guest had adorable tags.  I could literally write pages about them and their wedding story.  Instead, I will post a few of my favourite photos from their day and their highlight reel.  We wish we lived closer so we could visit them often… they are amazing people and we adore them!
