New England Destination Wedding

Alexis and Garrett love the mountains of Colorado but decided to have their destination wedding back in the small town of Nelson, New Hampshire where they grew up surrounded by all of their friends, families and newborn baby girl.

Nelson, New Hampshire is beautiful and tiny, and remote. Alexis’ family cabin on Silver Lake made the most perfect backdrop for their wedding ceremony and their tented backyard wedding hosted a wonderful party well in to the evening. Kids played barefoot in the yard, adult beverages cooled in a canoe filled with ice and guests tore up the dancefloor. The whole event felt very authentic, very joyful, very Alexis and Garrett.

“How do you feel about climbing that rock?” is a question I surprisingly ask many of my couples! Luckily, I work with such fun-loving and adventurous people they are usually game, even in their wedding attire. Alexis and Garrett were no different and their willingness to scramble up a giant boulder to pacify my creativity worked out to one of my favorite sunset photos of all time. So thank you, Alexis and Garrett, for your hospitality, openness and adventurous spirits. I am so honored I was asked to document your lakeside destination wedding. It was truly a blast and so fun working in a new location!

Sweet words from my friends…

“Kira flew all the way to NH to shoot my wedding just days after her own wedding! She and I had spoken over the phone and come up with an idea of what my husband and I were hoping for, and Kira came in having never seen our venue and was able to quickly get some visions for some beautiful photos. She really has a special eye for capturing those quick moments and really capturing the real/raw emotion of those fleeting seconds on the faces of everyone. We love the photos we have from our happy day and are so glad we worked with Kira! “
