New Hampshire Private Home Wedding: Mike & Cate
Imagine a beautiful white estate in the hills of New Hampshire with mountains off in the distance and a pristine lake down the road. This was the dreamy place where Mike & Cate wed! Cate had worked for the family of this private home for about 13 years, and thus this property is a second home to her and this dear family is her second family. When choosing a place to have their special day, Pine Hill Farm was one that naturally came to mind for these two love birds. They wed on the most stunning summers day with family and the bridal party staying inside the main house and the cottage house. They newlyweds opted for a sweet first look moment outside of the main house so they could join their celebration more quickly after their ceremony. Right around three thirty in the afternoon their nearest and dearest started to arrive for their intimate ceremony at four o’clock. Cates father made the stunning arbor, while her brother Jim officiated the wedding. In addition, flowers and bouquets by Emily Herzig Floral Studio were exploding with beauty wherever you looked. The highlight of the ceremony was when their sweet nephew Jack brought them their rings on his little motorized John Deer tractor. As he crashed into things and people all the way down the aisle, everyone exploded into laughter. Soon enough the rings arrived and sealed with a kiss, Mike and Cate were married. The rest of the afternoon was filled with a colorful cocktail hour filled with laughter, family and good friends. As dinner began there were thoughtful and hilarious toasts given, and a special moment of meditation to reflect on the day by Cates bridesmaid Jessie. The rest of the evening was filled with dancing, yummy food, cake, a beautiful sunset, and a perfect nights sky. We even snuck in some evening portraits right at sunset. What a day! Thank you Cate and Mike for having us capture your incredibly beautiful wedding day. It was a joy and an honor.
