Amanda & Greg knew from the start they wanted an affair that was unique, glamorous, modern, and romantic. Most importantly, they knew they wanted their day to be a  celebration of their love and family. The New York couple began their journey looking for venues in their hometown. But when Amanda's mom suggested she take a look in Boston, they fell in love with the Liberty Hotel. The venue looked dazzling with the couple's purple color palette as did Amanda. Not only did they find their ideal location, but a dream team of vendors as well.

Mackenzie and Matt's Stowe engagement shoot was made special by Alanna Scully Photography. After flying their photographer in from out of state, the two soaked up the Vermont sun at a local park. One subtle aspect that we love is the pair's choice to make the color blue a theme. By pairing Mackenzie's skirt with Matt's polo, the two mesh completely without looking like twins!
