Spring Wedding At The Westbrook Inn

Steph and Audra’s Westbrook Inn wedding took place in Derry, NH. Their day was filled with color, lots of laughter, and even a few surprise guests dressed in bee costumes! Before saying “I do,” they shared a first look beside the Inn and took a few quiet moments together to read private vows. Every detail of the day felt perfectly true to who they are, and we could not have asked for a better day to kick off wedding season!

Getting Ready At The Inn

We arrived at The Westbrook Inn under soft, overcast skies that made the spring colors pop! Inside, Steph, Audra, and their bridesmaids wore matching green pajamas embroidered with their names. The getting ready room was full of laughter and great energy while everyone put on the finishing touches. Since both wedding day looks were a surprise, Steph and Audra got ready separately. Steph had her mom and sister helping her into her dress, while Audra had her mom by her side. Once ready, both brides shared sweet first looks with their dads, and the reactions were so special to watch! Steph and Audra then met outside the Inn for their own first look and private vows. Afterward, we moved into wedding party and family photos before guests began arriving for the ceremony!

Ceremony At The Westbrook Inn

Once it was time for the ceremony, guests found their seats and waited for the brides to make their way down the aisle. Audra’s cousin Craig officiated, leading the processional before the flower girls, ring bearers, and bridesmaids. Audra walked down the aisle with her parents and waited for Stephanie’s arrival. Steph then made her way down with her dad on one arm and her brother-in-law on the other. The couple stood beneath an arbor handmade by Steph’s dad, making the moment even more meaningful! The ceremony was short, sweet, and full of love. After being pronounced wife and wife, they shared their first kiss as newlyweds and walked back up the aisle hand in hand. Guests then surprised them by “icing” them at the end of the aisle, which made for such a fun moment before cocktail hour began!

Reception Under The Tent

After cocktail hour, guests made their way into the beautifully decorated tent for the reception. Once everyone found their seats, introductions kicked off with both sets of parents, followed by the flower girls, ring bearers, and wedding party. Next up were Audra and Steph, and the tent erupted with cheers! The newlyweds stepped right into their first dance, spinning, dipping, and sharing a few kisses along the way. Parent dances followed and were very touching. Audra then shared the sweetest welcome and thank you speech before guests enjoyed dinner. After dinner, we snuck the brides away for the cutest golden hour photos, as they ran barefoot in the field. Afterward, bridesmaids Sarah, Erin, Brittanie, and Julie gave heartfelt speeches that brought plenty of tears. Before opening the dance floor, Steph and Audra added a fun twist with a reverse photo dash before officially kicking off the party!
