Wedding Photography at The Mount – the Edith Wharton Estate in Lenox, MA
I first met Melanie years ago when I photographed one of her best friends (and bridesmaids) wedding in Great Barrington. Melanie and Michael totally lucked out on their big day. They planned to have the ceremony outside in the absolutely STUNNING gardens at the Mount. Of course if you plan an outdoor ceremony there are no guarantees the weather will cooperate, but this day was full of surprises…and very happy accidents! First of all, the location provided the perfect backdrop for Melanie’s vintage dress. She was beautiful! But the weather…not so much. It was dark, stormy and drizzly all day. Luckily the staff at the Mount and the amazing Katie O’Mally of Katie’O Weddings and Events were able to adapt on a dime. Just before the ceremony was supposed to take place the clouds parted and the sun peeked out so they decided to go ahead and do it outside. There wasn’t enough time to set up the chairs, so everyone stood and it created such an intimate experience. As soon as the last guest got back inside, it started raining again! Once inside the couple was able to enjoy their moment and cocktail hour with their guests since they had already taken the group photos before everyone else arrived. Smart thinking! What a magical day, enjoy the photos
