Vanessa + Roy | Private Estate in the Berkshires
From our very first conversation, Vanessa told me she wanted their wedding to feel different. She wasn’t looking for a traditional wedding day filled with tons of formal photos. She wanted to be present, have FUN with the people they love, and throw one seriously epic party.
And that is exactly what they did.
They rented an incredible private estate in the Berkshires for the weekend and completely made the day their own. The guys had a mobile barber come in for fresh shaves while everyone got ready in the master suites, one above the other, each with balconies overlooking the property.
Cocktail hour happened BEFORE the ceremony, because why not?
After Vanessa + Roy said “I do,” they had their first dance right at the end of the aisle, immediately after their first kiss. From there, it was pretty much straight into celebrating and partying for the rest of the night.
More getting ready. More candid moments. More fun. Less time posing. Less worrying about what a wedding day is “supposed” to look like.
It was such a fun challenge for our Laurel Hill team to photograph a day that intentionally broke so many of the usual wedding-day rules. Vanessa + Roy, thank you for trusting us to capture it the way you envisioned it and for bringing the BEST energy all day long.
This one was seriously fun.
