Christina and Arkady were married at Searles Castle in Windham, NH amidst the copious and enveloping love of their family and friends and the equally enveloping heat of a New England summer! Despite the heat, it was a lovely and perfect day, filled with great folks! Christina and Arkady, laid back and brimming with wedding-ish joy were so much fun to work with! We enjoyed sneaking away for a few quiet minutes for their first look. Something we noted about Christina and Arkady was a deeply rooted connection to the people around them and how in love with them their families are. Supportive and loving families are so good for us, kind of like a great people fertilizer and it seems the two of them will have a good, strong love….with perfectly balanced soil. 😉
Other notably great moments of their day were Neruda poems, exerpts from The Velveteen Rabbit and a performance by Arkady’s fellow members of The Beelzebubs (Tufts University’s oldest, all-male accapella group!). Arkady himself picked up the guitar and wooed Christina with a gripping version of Extreme’s “More Than Words”. Well played!
Christina and Arkady: we had so much fun…thank you for inviting us into your day! Be obscenely in love forever and happier than necessary for just as long!!!

Love, love, LOVE the last picture!!! I would hang that in my house without even knowing the couple! I’m amazed at the way you are both able to produce such gorgeous “art” every time you pick up a camera. Beautiful!
Ahhh… awesome photo overload!!! For one, how can you NOT love a wedding in a castle?? And you know we love the photo of the guest with the photo strip sticking out of his pocket. Birch Blaze makes us happy!! 🙂
