What began with an unexpected Instagram message became a summer wedding at Hildene, where Vermont's rolling hills and historic gardens welcomed loved ones from across New England.
Pat's sister was convinced he and Maddie would be a perfect match. She reached out through the social media account where Maddie worked, and the introduction eventually led them here. They skipped a traditional wedding party, choosing instead to spend the weekend surrounded by family and close friends who traveled from across New England. Before the ceremony, they shared a quiet first look with their chocolate lab, Bunker, at the nearby home where they spent the weekend together.

We love Ellen! We have worked with her several times throughout the years, and she was one of the first people I reached out to when we started the wedding planning process. Her work speaks for itself — she is so incredibly talented at what she does. She is also a gem of a human — so kind, reliable, and someone who makes you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. We look at our wedding photos often and will always cherish them. Forever grateful for Ellen and her amazing work!
