REAL WEDDINGS CHRISTIE MERINO & CAYCE JONES SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PHOTOGRAPHY BY Kelsey Converse Photography * kelseyconverse.com The Details THE WEDDING DAY IN A WORD: Cozy FAVORITE MOMENT FOR CHRISTIE: I was able to watch Cayce get ready through the trees as the sun started to rise. I couldn't wait for the sun to peek out a bit more so we could say our vows and finally be married, but I will cherish that memory of watching him get dressed and ready. FAVORITE MOMENT FOR CAYCE: Our first look. Seeing Christie standing 26 | New Hampshire Magazine's BRIDE there in her beautiful dress, the warm light of the sunrise on her face, the cold morning breeze of Middle Sugarloaf in her hair - it all felt like a dream. BIGGEST SURPRISE: How quickly we summited the mountain at 4 a.m. It's normally a 60 minute hike and we summited in around 45 minutes - we were ready to get married! IF YOU COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN: Bring some additional wind-resistant layers for the bride and warm beverages to enjoy the summit even longer. PIECE OF ADVICE: Roll up your suit and wedding dress in a bed sheet and tuck it in your backpack for the hike up. We couldn't believe how perfectly everything unfolded at the summit. HONEYMOON LOCATION: Bar Harbor, Maine FAVORITE HONEYMOON MOMENT: Hiking and eating in Bar Harbor!http://www.kelseyconverse.com
