C&M: Summer Riverhouse Wedding
Craig and Melissa’s wedding day at the stunning Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station started with a bit of unexpected drama.

My role as the photographer shifted into high gear; I navigated a circuitous route, driving up to Middletown and then down Route 9 to arrive safely at Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station, making sure to document the entire journey.
