Nicole + Brendan | MA Wedding | The Starting Gate at GreatHorse

Nicole and Brendan’s wedding was held at The Starting Gate at GreatHorse located in Hampden, MA. This was the first time we had been there and we can't wait to go back! The venue provides panoramic views of the Connecticut River Valley which makes it truly unique.  

Nicole and her bridal party got ready on-site in the wedding suite which provided a preview of the reception room. Blush pink, champagne gold, and white made for a chic color scheme from the dresses and flowers to the place cards and reception details. 

Nicole and Brendan chose to have an outdoor ceremony in the Wedding Garden, where they exchanged vows underneath a gazebo surrounded by family and friends. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed the cocktail hour on the expansive Sunset Deck. 

Soon it was time to get the party started! The reception room was rustic yet elegant with its copper ceilings, stone fireplace, and glittering Swarovski chandeliers. The dance floor was busy all night long but we managed to sneak away to capture the happy couple in some intimate photos with the sun setting in the background!

Nicole and Brendan, it was an honor to capture your wedding day! We hope your photos help you to remember this special day for years to come!
