What a perfect October day for Caitlin and James' wedding! Held at the beautiful Fern Hill Barn in Spencer, MA, their day couldn't have been more ideal, with crisp autumn air and vibrant fall foliage still clinging to the trees. This classic New England backdrop provided the ideal setting for wonderful celebration.


Caitlin was beautiful in her timeless, classic A-line chiffon gown, complete with elegant long sleeves that flowed as beautifully as the fall leaves around us. James looked dapper beside her in a dark gray suit with thoughtful green accents that complemented the seasonal colors and his bride’s look. The wedding party also looked fantastic in their coordinated gray suits and green dresses, bringing everything together in harmony with the natural palette of the day.


Their ceremony, officiated by a close friend, was filled with heartfelt words and laughter, adding a personal and memorable touch. Caitlin and James exchanged beautiful, deeply personal vows, promising a lifetime of love and friendship. Following the ceremony, we explored the stunning Fern Hill Barn grounds, capturing moments by the frog pond, the beautiful greenhouse, and expansive views from the top of the hill.


As the sun dipped and evening arrived, the tent became alive with laughter and dancing. Caitlin and James spent the night surrounded by their loved ones, relishing every bit of the celebration. Their friends gave the sweetest toasts, and one of the groomsmen and his wife even had to leave early to welcome their new baby into the world (yes, she went into labor at the wedding—what an exciting story for everyone to share with the little one someday)!


We are so grateful to have been a part of Caitlin and James' special day and to capture these unforgettable moments. Congratulations, Caitlin and James! Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and many more beautiful fall days together.
