Getting Ready In Bedford, NH

When we arrived at Bedford Village Inn, Kelly and her bridesmaids were putting the finishing touches on their wedding day looks. Dresses were being steamed, hair and makeup were wrapping up, and excitement filled the room. Just down the hall, Brian and his groomsmen were getting ready for the day ahead. Kelly had gifted Brian a pair of purple suspenders that matched their wedding colors perfectly and completed his look. Meanwhile, Kelly slipped into her dress with help from her mom before adding her jewelry and final accessories. Although rain had been falling throughout the morning, it stopped just in time for their first look in front of the Inn. The two shared a sweet moment together before we explored the property for portraits. Soon after, their wedding party and families joined us for photos as guests began arriving for the ceremony!

Ceremony In The Courtyard

As guests found their seats in the beautifully decorated courtyard, it was time for the ceremony to begin. Kelly’s uncle, Paul, officiated the ceremony, making the moment even more meaningful. Brian made his way down the aisle first, followed by his groomsmen and the adorable ring bearers. Next came the bridesmaids, followed by the sweetest flower girls. Soon after, Kelly entered the courtyard with her father by her side, both smiling as they made their way down the aisle. During the ceremony, Kelly and Brian exchanged personal vows and lit a unity candle in front of their family and friends. There were plenty of smiles, happy tears, and sweet moments throughout. Before long, they were pronounced husband and wife and shared a celebratory kiss beneath their beautifully decorated arbor. Hand in hand, they made their way back up the aisle while loved ones cheered around them. Guests then headed inside to enjoy cocktail hour before the reception began!

Reception At The Inn

After cocktail hour, guests found their seats as introductions kicked off. The reception space was decorated beautifully, with a dragon fly theme that honored Brian’s late mother. The wedding party made their way into the reception before Kelly and Brian were welcomed with a huge round of applause. The newlyweds went right into their first dance before settling in for a series of heartfelt toasts. Kelly’s sister and Maid of Honor, Meaghan, spoke first, followed by Brian’s brother, Michael. Kelly’s dad, Rich, wrapped things up with a speech that included hilarious childhood videos, which had the entire room laughing. Guests then enjoyed dinner while we snuck Kelly and Brian away for a few more portraits around the property. Back inside, parent dances took place before the couple cut their cake. Once the dance floor opened, a live drummer and saxophonist took the celebration to the next level. From there, guests packed the dance floor and celebrated the night away.
