First off, our sincere apologies to all our blog readers for being offline. We been away on numerous, truly incredible photoshoots around the globe and are just now settling back in to our routine back in New England. We’ve got lots to report, and many amazing images to share, but we will save all that for tomorrow; today is all about sharing the wedding story of Lindsay and Josh, who were married on March 20th, at The Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, NH.
Josh and Lindsay were two of the nicest people we’ve ever been lucky enough to work with. They originally met while skiing together, so it was no surprise that they were drawn back to the mountains for their late winter celebration.
With plenty of snow still in the White Mountains they spent the day before their wedding skiing with family and friends, and then partied together until the wee hours of the morning at The Mount Washington Resort. With seemingly boundless energy, they were up early the next morning to prepare for the big day!
To say that Lindsay is beautiful, fun and low maintenance might be the understatement of the year. We met her in the hotel’s spa which is located about 3 stories under ground, and were impressed right away with her energy. After her hair and makeup were absolutely perfect, the last thing we ever expected was for her to forgo the numerous available elevators and just run up the 6 flights of stairs back to her room (while carrying bags, open champagne bottles and a plate of food). We’re in great shape and can run with the best of them… but Lindsay’s energy on her wedding day was electric. I think you can see some of it in the photo above as her bridesmaids look on: she’s radiant!
We later learned that Lindsay and Josh had met while freestyle skiing and quickly fell for each other. There were numerous thoughtful details that made their destination wedding so wonderful: from handmade “Welcome Gift Bags” for their guests, to Josh’s single rose that he sent to Lindsay’s room just before their ceremony… it was all beautiful to see.

Three adorable flower girls carried baskets of rose petals.
I know… what energy, right? (Don’t worry Lindsay, there are plenty of other more “refined” shots of you coming down the aisle… but I love this one, because this is truly YOU. So happy, so excited).

The big kiss.
So far we haven’t talked much about Josh, but it’s safe to say that if there was ever someone who might possibly keep up with Lindsay’s infectious enthusiasm… it would be Josh.
The bond is real. Their love is obvious. Two people made for one another. It really was beautiful to see.
Remember that infectious enthusiasm? Yeah, here it is (this is NOT me telling them to do this). Josh has either just won the Super Bowl or just married the girl of his dreams…
Surrounded by the snowcapped mountains that is their playground and inspiration… this shot is timeless.
Lindsay’s elegant rose bouquet… just exquisite.

Lindsay, those binoculars are for checking out the White Mountains… not your man!
Josh couldn’t resist a smootch, and I don’t think Lindsay minded!
All laughs, all smiles.
At the reception, the table cards were actually made of birch branches with the guests names. The tables were all named for Lindsay and Josh’s favorite ski areas.
Their first dance.
A moment of joy between Lindsay and her dad.

Guess who was the life of the party?
Captured only with available light just before the reception ended, this is a tender moment of Josh and Lindsay dancing slowly while the rest of their guests tear up the dance floor.
Lindsay and Josh: Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful wedding day with us! We loved capturing your story, documenting all the emotion and meeting your incredible families (and friends). We can’t wait to hear how your honeymoon in Costa Rica went, and if you hit any of our favorite surf spots! Congratulations on finding each other, it is so obvious to us that you were meant to be together!!
