Sami and Dom got married on a perfect Summer day at the Owl’s Nest resort in Thornton, New Hampshire. This New Hampshire Wedding was unique because Sami & Dom are from Western New York and live in Colorado, with no connection to New Hampshire. They chose to have the wedding there to give their New York guests a bit of a “destination” feel without making them go all the way out to Colorado.
However, I fucking LOVE New Hampshire. I went to 4 years of college there, and ever since I have made it a point to visit at least once a year. There have been years where I’ve gone 4 times! New Hampshire has truly become a home away from home, so New Hampshire weddings are some of my favorite weddings to book and photograph.
I’ve shot a couple of weddings at Owl’s Nest Resort and I love this venue. It is a golf course, but it barely feels like a golf course which is a big plus for me. The ceremony platform overlooks the western White Mountains. It gives an insane sunset backdrop for a ceremony and portraits after. The groom and bridal prep are in their own separate houses for a comfortable, spacious area to get ready with your friends. The reception room is a mix between industrial and barn vibes, and it has big windows to watch the end of sunset and look at the mountains throughout the formalities and the party.
One thing that really stuck out to me was how insane and beautiful the reception room was decorated. All different sorts of flowers and plants, disposable cameras, wood carved decor and signs, different fruits laying out and around….and holy shit, the dessert table….I’ve never seen anything like it. There will be a lot more detail photos in this blog than normal because there were just so many things to photograph!
This New Hampshire wedding is definitely one I’ll always think about because Sami & Dom really are such incredible people. We were vibing from the moment we met on video chat and working with them felt like spending a day with a bunch of friends.
