Billy Idol would have said that it was a nice day for a white wedding and we would have to wholeheartedly agree. And so would the bride and groom. You see, this snowy day wedding was requested. The couple, from Florida, wanted to have a wedding in the woods, snowy and beautiful. This was her wish, in particular. To walk into the snow laden forest and […]
We’re excited to be the recipient of our second Wedding Wire Couples’ Choice Award. This one for 2020. This is being given, of course, for our very cool and pretty much unbeatable mountain top and wilderness wedding services (and vows renewals). Didn’t know we did that?! Well, are you’re ready for some real adventure? Maybe marriage is the thing for you. And if that’s how you […]
New Hampshire can be a confusing state. One morning we wake up to a beautifully frosty fall morning, that crispness in the air, clear blue skies, and a riot of color presented by the foliage. And no bugs! Then the next morning we wake up to sun and warmth, downright balmy weather, complete with an insect hatch of some sort of midges or something. Granted, it’s […]
It’s not the first time we’ve had a wedding at Glen Ellis Falls, but we think the foliage this time was completely out of control. And we mean that in the best way possible. The scene was an absolute riot of color — dazzling reds, oranges, and yellows brilliant in the sunshine amid the greens. The skies so blue offering a nice backdrop to it all. […]
The call came in this morning, much like they often do. This one from the groom. “My fiancé and I want to get married and were wondering if you’re available,” he asked. “Yes. Maybe. When are you thinking?” we asked in reply, breaking out the calendar as we spoke. “Now!” said the groom. We looked out the window, the rain coming down and asked where they […]
The title will have meaning to the couple, since the rehearsal was held on what they deemed “Flannel Friday” — the day before their Saturday wedding. And during the Friday rehearsal, flannel was indeed all the rage. Redline Guide and Justice of the Peace Mike Cherim didn’t get the memo on this, however, but almost grabbed a flannel shirt out of his closet before heading over […]
A marriage ceremony is a solemn event, a serious thing… so please refrain from laughter. Unless, that is, you’re the bride and groom who even on your wedding day spark lively with your irreverence. To you, dear couple, you may carry on. For you, dear couple, you will be unstoppable. That’s what we saw at Frank and Jennifer’s wedding atop Square Ledge in Pinkham’s Grant (Pinkham […]
The sky began to get lighter in the east, then colors started to reveal themselves as the low sun crept closer to the horizon forcing its brilliance through our atmosphere. This created an otherworldly, Martian-like alpenglow. Before long the sun rose over Hurricane Mountain and kissed the ledge with its sunlight. It was stunningly beautiful — shaping up to be a fantastic day. A great one […]
Although she’s a dedicated hiker in the Whites, the bride-to-be had never hiked either of the Twins, but the groom had and thought of South Twin Mountain — at least so far — as his favorite 4000-footer in New Hampshire. We added “at least so far” because he has six mountains still to go. That said, now that he and his bride have married atop the […]
It was inevitable. We knew that eventually we’d have a couple pick one of the Sugarloaves for their mountain wedding ceremony. It’s a terrific sunrise option, if nature offers up a sunrise, that is. In any case, there are numerous grand vistas in most directions on these well-loved 52WAV peaks. The sunrise on Middle Sugarloaf was less than spectacular on this particular morning. But that’s okay, […]
Okay, okay, there is no Mt Hobbs, but we have a reputation for mountain weddings so we put that spin on it. The ceremony was on the grounds of the Hobbs Tavern and Brewing Company. They have a nice location in a field with a lazy river meandering through this scenic backdrop. The ceremony was, as requested, very short and sweet. So much so, in fact, […]
We didn’t mention it previously in our last blog post, but while Redline Guide Ken Hodges was up there on the Rock Pile leading in Huntington Ravine, Redline Guide Ryan Mcguire was also up there doing some recreational rock climbing elsewhere in the same ravine. To be specific, he was leading trad on Henderson Ridge. And that’s not all, Redline Guide, owner, and NH Justice of […]
