Ali & Jon were married on September 3rd, 2011 and hosted their wedding weekend celebration at Stowe Mountain Resort. With their photographer, Orchard Cove Photography, they arranged to see each other before the ceremony for a “first look”. In golf carts, the wedding party rode around Stowe Mountain Club golf course, where they were able to…

Shelagh and TJ were so awesome to work with!  They came all the way up from NJ and drove back down the same day….so they should get an award for rallying for their engagement photos!  They wanted to visit Shelburne Farms so we planned on it.   It was actually a rainy, windy day and as…

I got the sweetest thank-you note from Kristen and Justin, who got married in a lovely lakeside ceremony in upstate New York (yes, I do cross the border sometimes!). Thank you once again for making our ceremony perfect.  It was the most accurate description of Justin and me.  It brought out many different emotions from not only us but…

Guy and Deanna came all the way from St. Louis to get married at a rented farmhouse in beautiful Craftsbury, Vermont.  They had about 10 friends and family there with them, and we did the ceremony out underneath a couple of old apple trees called “The Married Couple” by the owners of the farmhouse. At the…

Kali & Erik may not live in Vermont currently, but they both have strong ties to the beautiful state through family, friends and a love for Long Trail Brewery. It made perfect sense when it came time for them to say “I Do.” that the wedding would take place in beautiful Vermont. Two weeks before…

Real Vermont weddings…it’s what we’re all about at Creative Muse Floral Design!  In my former life I was a high school Marketing instructor and this year I had the pleasure of working with a former student from my first Marketing class.  Molly had a very specific vision in mind for her Vermont wedding.  Molly grew…

This was an extraordinary wedding. On August 28th life changed for the people of Pittsfield Vermont. Tropical storm Irene struck hard, it destroyed 9 homes in a town of 427 people, and it cut off the roads completely to the north and the south. Pittsfield was an island, with no power and no phone service.…

What little girl does not dream of the day that she gets to walk down the aisle in her picture- perfect dress right into the arms of the man she loves? You are engaged, and soon it will be time for the biggest day of your life! Soon it will be time for you to…

Just did our first same sex wedding ceremony at the Leahy Center in Burlington. The couple were from New Jersey and had never visited Vermont before. The center is a nice location for a wedding, but photographically a bit challenging if you have the event out on the patio with a strong afternoon sun.  Most…

Kiki & Joey’s wedding at the Inn At Mountain View Farm, East Burke, VT photography by Birke Photography written by the bride When Joey and I got engaged, I was so thrilled, but had no idea where or how to go about planning the wedding. As a designer, I of course had some pretty specific…

Imagine yourself on the morning of your wedding hearing a bubbling brook or waking to the smell of hollyhocks and being surrounded by mountains. This is Vermont.  When I became a Weddings and Events planner here, I did so because of the endless beauty that I see on a daily basis. Beauty that does not…
