Western MA Wedding at Valley View Farm

I first met Rebecca and Jake in New York City, where they live, when I was there on other business. And it worked out that we were able to have a quick get-to-know-you meeting in the city. We met up again back in Manhattan the following Spring for their engagement session, which was really fun. The wedding was so great and, as usual, the staff at Valley View Farm were incredibly helpful. Shannon at VVF helped them come up with a timeline for the day and included time blocks for photography, which I always appreciate. We had amazing weather and even got to spend some time around golden hour with the farm's mascots Molly and Dolly. Thanks to a great crew of vendors:
