Some venues feel like they were built for weddings, and Searles Castle is one of them.

Kristin and Mike got married at Searles Castle in Windham, New Hampshire on September 12th. Between the stone architecture, the gardens, and a dance floor that never slowed down, the whole day had this perfect mix of classic and fun.

What I love about these two is how much joy they brought to every part of the day. Some of my favorite frames are the unscripted ones - the laughter during the ceremony, the looks they didn't know I caught.

Searles Castle gave us everything - dramatic stone backdrops, golden light in the gardens, and a reception that kept the energy high all night long.
