It was our first time photographing at this location but I would imagine that the Mansion on the Bald Hill weddings are spectacular (although it would be hard to beat this one as the Ali and Greg and their whole bridal party were so wonderful to photograph.

Let’s hear about the wedding day from Ali and Greg.

How did you two meet?

High school – Wilbraham & Monson Academy

How did Greg pop the question?

Next to our senior flagstones on campus at the Academy on a beautiful fall day (November 10, 2019).

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

The speeches! My father, my sister and Greg’s brother each delivered equal parts thoughtful, funny and beautiful roasts that made us laugh til we cried and then also really did cry. The band – RickExpress – were also absolutely amazing and kept the dance floor packed all night long!

How long have you been together?

4 years

How would you describe your overall wedding experience?

A beautiful, whirlwind of a day that we will never forget. Truly the best day ever!

What advice would you offer to other couples planning a wedding

Don’t sweat the small stuff! When all is said and done, it’s having all of your favorite people in one place that makes your wedding special, not the tiny details!

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

Relax and have fun with it! Don’t think too much.

Tell me about your dress. Where did you find it, how did you choose it, how did you know it was the one?

Pearl Bridal in Holyoke, MA. I found it in under one hour and knew it was the one!

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

Amazing! Greg and Ryan did such a great job making Greg, me and our entire bridal party feel so comfortable and relaxed the entire day – despite freezing cold temperatures and even some unexpected flurries!

Did you see each other before the wedding? If not, did you like waiting or would you have rather done it differently? Tell me why or why not!

Yes, we opted for a first look and are so happy we did. It is one of the only moments we had to ourselves that day, which made it super special and it took the edge off of the walk down the aisle.

Any tips on how to prepare for the wedding photos?

Same as above – just relax, have fun and trust your photographer!

Any tips that you have about preparing your wedding party for the photos? What did you tell them, how did you get them to cooperate, what did you do or what would you have done differently?

We love to hear about vendors you love and how your experience was!

What were you most anxious, nervous or fearful about regarding your wedding day and what was the outcome?

We were both nervous and excited! The first look was a perfect way to take the edge off together – nerves were calmed from there and we were able to just enjoy the day!
