Engle.Flint Wedding

Last year, Katie from Destination Bride contacted me regarding Betsy and Anders' wedding. This was the first time that I was working with Katie and everything went off perfectly. I have worked with Lisa Light, the owner of Destination Bride twice before and have loved the weddings and clients. Once in Cabo San Lucas and once in upstate New York on one of my favorite weddings of Diedre and Joshua Laterman. Betsy and Anders were married at her parents home in Massachusetts. Anders is from Sweden so they incorporated many elements from Sweden to integrate the wedding. Betsy decided that each of the bridesmaids dresses were to have sashes on them. The sashes were made with fabric that has a Swedish pattern on them.
I loved watching Betsy, her dad and brother hang the Swedish flag in the Foyer just a few minutes before guests started to arrive.

Betsy and Anders met in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and incorporated the cowboy connection into some details. Since I am from Montana, I loved seeing the western horses on a few of the items.

Betsy's parents' home offered a lot of wonderful backgrounds to choose from. I loved the barn behind the garden because it was so beautiful and it was so private. It allowed the wedding party to have a little time together.




I loved the flowers that Ariella Chezar created for the wedding. Ariella's mom and Betsy's mom Susan, were close friends. Ariella just lives a few minutes away. Her work is lovely and you should visit her web site.
Simple and beautiful bouquets with great ribbon details on the stems.


The weather back East had been riddled with rain throughout the summer. I don't know who thought of getting the umbrellas at IKEA to continue the Swedish color scheme but it was so smart!


I love this photo of Mr. Flint in front of the sailboat...


and of Betsy's two brothers.


Here is a detail of the ribbons that I think are such a nice and surprising detail.


A great sunny day!


The receiving line was held in the foyer. I loved the blue of the stairs and walls.

Lisa Light bringing the flowers from the ceremony to the tent for the reception.


Katie and her assistant talking over the details.


The Flint family in front of their home.


The Engle family at the same location. All of Anders' family flew in from Sweden and were taking a week after the wedding to explore the East coast!

Back to the barn again.


One of Betsy's brothers had an idea. They both disappeared and showed up ready to go....

One of my favorite shots of the three of them together!

I loved photographing Betsy and Anders walking and talking to each other.



The guests made their way from the immediate backyard after cocktails to farther back for an early diner and dancing under the big tent.


Lisa placed the flowers that were on the last seat of the rows of chairs at the ceremony on the entry posts to the tent.

Some people wandered over to the pool. Where some towels had the Swedish colors on them. Ikea again?

This is the third wedding that has had custom cozy's for the beer bottles. I love the idea because I can imagine people using them over the next few years and remembering the wedding.



This young boy was pretending to sing and be the DJ.


I loved watching Ariella and her husband Chris dance. I felt as though I was stalking them but they looked so beautiful together I couldn't stop photographing them.

After Betsy and Anders left, Betsy's brother organized a spur of the moment swim with some of his friends. I love the tie!

Thank you Betsy and Anders for having me photograph your wedding. It was lovely and I hope you enjoy the photos for many years. If you would like to enjoy more of their photos please go to http://nashanclients.com/RedCart/index.php?gnum=261
