Some of our favorite Vermont Vows wedding professionals were gracious enough to participate in the 2011 Deserving Couple Wedding Contest!  Friends, family members, and couples submitted nominations with a goal of finding a couple that continuously gives back to the community despite hardships in their own lives.  The above photos are an engagement session of the winners, captured by Orchard Cove Photography.

There is something s charming and sweet about backyard weddings, and even better when they take place on a farm. This adorable event, sent to us by Andy Duback Photography, is no exception. We can't get enough of vintage cars - and the "Just Married' can garland that this bride and groom strung across the car makes it all the more fun. Plus, we simply love outdoor ceremonies. Adorned with an impressive, homespun chuppa, this ceremony setting is so inviting and simple.

When Nicole Adamidis and Bill Cummings traveled to Vienna, Austria, for a semester abroad, they knew they were about to discover new adventures. But they were also about to find something even better: true love.
