Carli and Nathaniel were married on October 13th, 2024 at the Gardens at Uncanoonuc Mountain in Goffstown, NH. Despite the rain it was still a perfect day from beginning to end, and it was truly a pleasure to capture it all!


As Carli and Nate were finishing up with preparations, I took a moment to capture some of their wedding day details.

Once they were both ready for the big day, Carli made her way to Nate, who was waiting in Nettie’s Garden for their beautiful bride. They shared a first look, followed by heartfelt private vows. They were so happy to be together, and I watched firsthand as any wedding day stress melted away as they held each other tight.

The Woodland Garden ceremony site is a cozy space nestled in the tall trees and lit with string lights. It was here that Carli and Nate exchanged rings and literally tied the knot before sharing their first kiss as a married couple. Congratulations!

While guests were enjoying a drink and appetizers during cocktail hour, the newlyweds spent some time getting photos with their families.

The bridal party looked stunning in shades of emerald green and dark grey.

Before returning to the reception site for cocktail hour, we spent some time getting a few shots of the couple looking incredible on their wedding day.

Once guests made their way to their seats following cocktail hour, Carli and Nate were welcomed into their reception where they shared a very special first dance, choreographed by the bride!

After a delicious dinner served by Celebrations Catering, the father of the bride and the guests of honor toasted the newlyweds. Following toasts, the bride and groom danced with their father and mother to the songs “Vienna” and “If I Had A Million Dollars.”

Before opening up the dance floor, Carli surprised Nate with a deeply moving rendition of “Is That Alright?” with their officiant, Graham English, on keys, and Carli taking center stage with a spectacular vocal performance.

After we all dried our eyes and used a record number of tissues, it was time to party! The band, Hot Mess, sounded amazing, and unleashed their high energy sounds to keep things going for hours. It was a blast! Guests mingled, enjoyed dessert, and of course the dance floor was packed!

Toward the end of the night, we snuck outside for a few photos back in the Woodland Garden ceremony site. Carli and Nate cozied up beneath the string lights in the shelter of their umbrella, and we captured some really magical photos.

I had a blast working with Carli and Nate, and I wish them a lifetime of happiness!

Thank you Carli & Nate!!

It was a pleasure to capture your day!
