Sunapee, NH | Garden Wedding at the John Hay Estate at The Fells | NH Wedding Photographer

Mackenzie and Greg enjoyed a beautiful New Hampshire garden wedding at The Fells, located in the town of Newbury, but in proximity and with views to Lake Sunapee. A quick scan of my blogs and you’ll see how much I adore photographing this this venue and its amazing grounds. The Fells is a wonderful option for a wedding if you have your heart set on copious florals and lush landscaping. With this venue, you get the best of an elevated, country garden vibe with a historic estate and many options for portraits.

The couple shared a first look on a dock overlooking Lake Sunapee. Their ceremony was full of tearful, happy moments. During their reception they had the most romantic first dance which they practiced alone first, while guests enjoyed cocktails on the veranda.

My deep gratitude to the immensely talented Shelby, of Shelby Rose Photography for having me as her second photographer for the day. I send my biggest congratulations and heartfelt wishes for a bright & loving future to this beautiful couple!
