Courtney and Patrick tied the knot during a beautiful indoor ceremony at The Barn at Bull Meadow in Concord, New Hampshire. Although rain lingered throughout the day, it never dampened the excitement. Once the skies cleared, we headed outside for family portraits, wedding party photos, and beautiful newlywed portraits around the property. We always love spending the day at Bull Meadow, and this wedding was no exception!
Getting Ready At The Barn
We arrived at The Barn at Bull Meadow to cloudy skies but plenty of excitement. Courtney and her bridesmaids were putting the finishing touches on hair and makeup while getting ready for the day. Everyone wore matching pajamas, including the moms, while Courtney stood out in white with “Bride” embroidered across her outfit. Once Patrick and his groomsmen arrived, they headed upstairs to the groom suite to get ready together. When it was time to get dressed, Courtney’s sister, Brittany, and her mom, Sheryl, helped her into her gown. She then shared an emotional first look with her bridesmaids before enjoying a sweet moment with her dad. Before the ceremony, Courtney and Patrick exchanged heartfelt letters and read them privately, before saying “I do.” Soon after, guests began arriving as the ceremony was set to begin!
Indoor Ceremony
Once everyone found their seats, the ceremony was ready to begin. Patrick made his entrance alongside his grandmother, who proudly took on the role of “Flower Grammy” by tossing flower petals down the aisle. The groomsmen entered next, followed by the bridesmaids, who made their way down the grand staircase. Guests then rose to their feet as Courtney walked down the aisle with her dad by her side, and Patrick couldn’t stop smiling as she made her way toward him. During the ceremony, Courtney and Patrick honored their moms and grandmothers with a heartfelt rose dedication before exchanging personal vows. They sealed their marriage with a kiss before walking back up the aisle, stopping for a picture-perfect dip kiss as their guests cheered them on! During cocktail hour, we captured family, wedding party, and newlywed portraits outside before everyone headed into the barn to celebrate the reception!
Reception
Once cocktail hour wrapped up, the parents of the bride and groom kicked off introductions before the groomsmen and bridesmaids made energetic entrances. The bridesmaids even carried signs for the newlyweds before Courtney and Patrick walked in hand in hand to a room full of cheers. They went straight into their first dance, complete with twirls and dips. Courtney’s dad, Kevin, started the toasts, keeping everyone laughing with childhood stories and notes Courtney had written over the years. After, Best Man Cam and Maid of Honor Brittany made sweet and funny toasts to the couple. Courtney and Patrick then cut their cake before sharing parent dances. They also honored Courtney’s mom with a bouquet dedication and celebrated Patrick’s grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary with a special dance and slideshow of their very own. Once the dance floor opened, everyone jumped in, and the celebration carried on well into the night!
Courtney and Patrick, from your beautiful lake side engagement session to your dreamy wedding day, we are so glad you chose us to be a part of it! Here’s to livin’ Devito loca forevah! -Allison & Connor
