Summer Wedding at Birch Wood Vineyard

Husband and Wife laugh together while at their Summer Wedding at Birch Wood Vineyard

What a whirlwind of a wonderful summer Wedding at Birch Wood Vineyard! Heather and Brendan’s day was super relaxed, happy and filled with fun laughter and happy tears.

Heather and Brendan

Thinking back to their Engagement Session, these two proved to be AWESOME! Each with their own quirks, Heather and Brendan are two peas in a pod. (If you head over to their engagement session- you will be able to read, just how fun these two are!

They incorporated so many unique and sentimental touches into their Wedding at Birchwood Vineyard. One is, Brendan’s Antique VW bug into the shoot, and this theme carried over into their wedding day.

They were driven from the church to the reception in a 1978 VW Bus (Referred to as RoboBus), the car that the Groom restored in High School and they met in.

Additionally- their centerpieces were hand made by the groom. (You will see those later on in the post!)

The Wedding

One of the most impressive things about their wedding… was the fact that they were so relaxed. Literally, the only thing that matters to these two was the fact that they, at the end of the day, were going to be married!

And this showed because Heather and Brendan literally couldn’t stop smiling and laughing! They truly kept their expectations right where they should be… on each other and their families and friends. When this happens- there is nothing that can happen that will ruin your wedding day.

The Reception

This Summer Wedding Reception was held at the Birch Wood Vineyard in NH. They chose this wedding venue because we loved the rustic feel to it. They both grew up in NH and wanted their ceremony venue to reflect the state they love and had their beginnings in.
