Wachusett Village Inn Wedding
Alison and Brian had a gorgeous Wachusett Village Inn wedding in October. They incorporated many thoughtful family traditions into their day and had a relaxed, laid back event with friends and family. When we say relaxed and laid back we mean it! Alison plans events for a living. So Alison and Brian’s wedding was a showstopper, to say the least.
We photographed Alison and Brian’s proposal and engagement session. So we are excited to share these images with you and are so honored to have been a part of your wedding!
Thank you Alison and Brian!
Much Love!

ALISON & BRIAN
How did you both meet?
Alison: “We were both in the Higher and Postsecondary Master’s program at ASU and we met in class about 7 years ago. Our professor assigned groups to work in during class and Brian and I ended up in the same group. Brian asked me out about 3 different times that night and I turned him down pretty much every time. I later felt bad about it and he seemed like a nice guy, so I reached out to him on Facebook and we went on our first date a few days later. We’ve been together ever since.”
Brian: “At ASU we were assigned to a group together. After the class I asked her to walk with me – she said no; I asked her to a bar – she said no; I asked her to a festival – she said no again. She then stalked me on Facebook and asked about that drink at the bar – the rest is history.”
What was the most memorable part of your wedding day?
Alison: “For me it was having all of our closest friends and family surrounding us all day. It was surreal to have everyone in our lives there to celebrate with us.”
Brian: “The first dance and first look.”
What was the funniest?
Alison: “We really wanted to say the same vows to each other – it was really important to both of us to make the same marital promise to each other. Well… we both had a little trouble repeating our vows after our officiant said them. While I only asked for a repeat of one of the vows, Brian really wanted to get it right and flat out asked our officiant to look at the paper that he was reading off of.”
Brian: “Korte asking us to repeat our vows… Long vows.”
Advice for future couples?
Alison: “Hire kick-ass vendors and know when to let the unimportant things go. Everyone kept telling me that I was so calm and relaxed in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and that calmness came from knowing that we hired the right venue and the right people to make the day go off without a hitch.”
Brian: “Have my wife plan it for them – she’s good. Also – take pics first to enjoy happy hour later.”
