Hi there! I'm Jess - New Hampshire based photographer who loves a crisp Diet Coke, sunny days, pink tones, being comfy and taking photos. I'm so glad you're here!

Welcome!

Nichole + Michael | Simple Elegance At Stonehurst Manor | North Conway, New Hampshire

My family and I used to visit North Conway and do some shopping every summer for school! It’s been years since I’ve truly visited, so it was nice to stop in and take in the surroundings once again! The scenery was a quick reminder why so many people love touring the area.

Stonehurst Manor is a quaint little inn that sits atop a hill with New Hampshire mountains as a view. The grounds are beautiful, with a courtyard in the middle for ceremonies and life size chess!

Nichole and Mike’s wedding day was simply elegant, with burgundy accents and sola flowers for bouquets!! The end of summer always offers unpredictable weather, but their day was sunny, bright and warm– which is exactly how I would describe these two as a couple!!

Immediately when I walked into the bridal space, I was greeted by Nichole’s incredibly warm smile!! She’s so sweet, and I learned as she was getting her makeup done, me and the ladies share a love for Lizzo!! (Yes, the girl from the radio 😉

Michael was just as sweet, and the two of them together throughout the day just exuded pure joy and excitement as they were surrounded by friends and family, celebrating this new season of life! It was effortless for me to find small moments filled with laughter among their crowd, and though it was hot and steamy in the reception tent, it didn’t stop anyone from dancing or taking turns cooling off in front of the giant fan!!

Everything was perfect, and was exactly what I imagined it would be for them!! I met so many sweet people throughout the day and I am just so thrilled I was able to be there to serve them as this new journey takes place!

Mike and Nichole, thank you so much for having me along for the ride!! I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from your day 🙂
