New England Winter Publick House Wedding

21 Feb

I can hardly believe it has been an entire year since Doug and I photographed John & Deb’s wedding at The Publick House in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.

And what a gorgeous wedding it was!    Besides the love of the couple, and of friends and family, the venue itself was warm and welcoming, exuding rustic New England beauty.  The ceremony took place in a converted horse stable with beautiful Federal-style windows, which created a heavenly back-lit effect on the couple. During the reception, the low Winter sun beamed in through the windows, creating mullioned reflections on the glossy wood floors. A string ensemble provided a perfect Classical accompaniment to the atmosphere.  Both cozy and expansive, Paige Hall was a wonderful setting for an intimate New England Winter wedding celebration.  First Anniversary Wishes to John and Deb… and their new family!

In Joy,

Lisa

We love the very real moments that occur between poses, when our clients are not expecting us to be photographing!

Hello there!  I look forward to sharing my adventures in photography with you, and spreading a little joy and beauty at the same time, too.  You’ll be able to find out who Lisa Joy Merrill Photography is and what we’ve been up to.  I say “we” because besides me, there’s also my husband and the love of my life, Doug, who shoots weddings with me (and makes the technical stuff on the back end of the business go smoothly).  Stay tuned!
