The farmers market themed wedding of Jess and Greg at The Barn at Boyden Farm was one of our all-time favorite summer wedding celebrations. Against the stunning backdrop of Vermont’s lush summer landscape and rustic charm, this lovely couple curated a wedding experience that embraced the essence of the local farming community. With a plethora of personal touches and an appreciation for the region’s agricultural heritage, Jess and Greg’s wedding was a heartfelt tribute to love, community, and the beauty of Vermont’s countryside.
A Sunny Outdoor Wedding in the August Heat
Jess and Greg’s August outdoor wedding ceremony was a picturesque affair, bathed in sunlight and set against a backdrop of northern Vermont summer. The centerpiece for the ceremony was the arbor that Greg built himself, a symbol of his ongoing love and commitment to his wife and their life together. This DIY spirit extended beyond the wedding, as Greg is also currently in the process of renovating their newly purchased home in northern Vermont. Maple, the beloved four-legged companion of Jess and Greg, added an extra dose of joy and playfulness to their special day. Maple’s presence not only warmed the hearts of guests but also made for memorable moments captured in photographs, showcasing the bond between this adorable trio amidst the rustic charm of their wedding.
