Sonja and Devin’s Inn on Boltwood Wedding Photography.

We so honored to photograph Sonja and Devin’s wedding at the newly renamed Inn on Boltwood (previously the Lord Jeffery Inn) in Amherst Ma.

We lucked out a got just a bit of snow near the end of the night and Sonja and Devin were gracious enough to brave the cold for some amazing photos. I always hope for some snow when photography winter weddings in Western Ma.

Now let’s her about the wedding from Sonja

How did Devin propose?


We went to a lovely dinner one summer night, then on a walk. During the firefly filled walk, we stopped by beautiful old trees. Devin got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I obviously said yes.

What was your favorite moment(s) from the wedding?

The ceremony. Professing our love and life promises in front of all our family and friends was magical.

What advice would you offer to other couples planning a wedding

To breathe. Details can get overwhelming. Just remember that all that matters is you and your love.

Tell us about the dress, where did you find it, how did you choose it, how did you know it was the one?

My mom and I took an impromptu trip to David’s Bridal. My dress was the second one I tried on. I knew it was the one because I had never felt more beautiful.

What photography-related advice would you offer to a couple?


Definitely would recommend a first look!! Gets the jitters out, allows you to get a lot of beautiful pictures early in the day so you can spend more time with your guests during the wedding.

How was your experience taking photos/working with me on your wedding day?

Marvelous! Greg was flexible, understand, and really creative. My husband and I aren’t big into getting our pictures taken. Greg made us comfortable and have fun with it.
