I am so excited to be re-posting this blog regarding a fantastic elopement service for couples seeking to elope or have a small family wedding in Vermont, Upstate new York or New Hampshire. "A Wedding Awaits" is an affordable, small wedding or elopement planning service that includes the officiant, photographer, and bridal bouquets from $1150 to "the sky's the limit!! We also offer many other exciting add-ons such as secret venues, magical gardens, chamber music, catering to die for and that perfect retreat for your intimate wedding ceremony. As rustic or opulent as you want, it will be your wedding, your way without the stress of planning and coordinating vendors, venues and accommodations.

Annie Alexander-Kramer of The Parsonne..Vermont Wedding Officiant is the brains behind A Wedding Awaits and it was her idea to offer a personalized, full service elopement and small wedding planning platform for those seeking a more intimate wedding or elopement experience. She will do all the work, help you with the license info, organize vendors, offer locations, including her own beautiful home in mid Vermont as well as my gardens here at Featherstone and a grand selection of Inns, B&B's and romantic retreats throughout Vermont. Annie has been a professional wedding officiant in Vermont for over 20 years and trust me...she knows the best of the best and can easily match a venue to your wedding day dreams.

Personally I love photographing elopements and small weddings and will be adding a lot more of those to my schedule in 2021 and 2022, only accepting two large weddings per month. Vermont elopements allow for those "wow" editorial elopement photos as well as those candid intimate photos of the two of you on your wedding day. Even though it is an elopement and not a big wedding, you can still do a "first look" and have a killer wedding bouquet, wear amazing wedding dresses, tux's or Rock N Roll attire, it is all up to you! How about a Godola ride to the top of Killington or Okemo and a wedding ceremony on top of the world?

With smaller, intimate weddings the stress is minimal and there is a lot of time to get those amazing romance photos of just the two of you. Imagine having all the stress free time you need for a romance session at one or even two locations of your choice!  Kaci and Bobby's elopement in Ludlow was one such session and even though the rains came, since it was a small family gathering we had plenty of time to work around the weather and get some amazing photos.
