Molly and David: A New England Wedding at the Equinox in VT

This past October I photographed Molly and David’s wedding at the Equinox Golf Resort & Spa in Manchester, VT. Manchester is one of those awesome towns that exist only in New England and I have had the great luck to have photographed at a couple different places in Manchester, VT. It is always beautiful and I have never worked with anyone in Manchester, VT who was anything but delightful. Molly and David’s wedding was no different.

I actually have a lot to say about Molly and David’s wedding because it was such a huge part of my wedding season. I had the pleasure to be a part of their whole journey; from their engagement sessions at Moore State Park all the way to their last song at the Equinox. It was also the last wedding that I photographed during that mad rush of weddings that are planned to take advantage of fall in New England. My second photographer, SiEun (who doubles as my wife) was also there with me for the whole day so it was definitely a celebration of a successful season for us.

Wedding photography is my job. It is a lot of work and there is a lot of preparation that goes into it that a lot of people don’t see. Earning a living is great but weddings like Molly and David’s make me feel really fortunate because both SiEun and I left feeling very fulfilled. I always tell my couples that the real reason why I offer an engagement session for free with all of my packages is so that we can all get to know each other. I went into Molly and David’s wedding with this great comfort level with them. One of the cool things about covering a wedding for an entire day is that you develop this really fun back and forth with the people that you keep bumping into. At the end of the night at a wedding like this my knees are always shot and I can usually barely move, but there’s this bittersweet feeling that something that you really put your all into is over. SiEun and I felt that really strongly as the last couple of songs played. Thanks for having us Molly and David!
