I’m totally head over heels in love with this country chic photo shoot by Studio SMC Photography not only for its gorgeous displays of florals but because it reminds me why I love Massachusetts so much. The barns, the old rock walls, the farmhouses…they are all so romantic and sweet and make for perfect backdrops on your big day. Click here for even more.

From Studio SMC Photography: This stylized shoot took place on June 26, 2011 in western Massachusetts on the campus of Mount Holyoke College and at a private residence, both located in South Hadley. The couple, who are married, were selected for their great chemistry and gorgeousness:) All of the vendors who were chosen to be a part of this shoot are very community-minded and provide extraordinary customer service. The jewelry, in particular, is very unique and was part of the inspiration for the look and feel of our shoot.
The couple who own the house and barn (not the models) take incredible care of their home and love antiques. The red barn was rebuilt a number of years ago to complement their sweet farm house. The farm house was originally built in 1764 and has since been updated. The pergola was built with beams from the old barn before it was rebuilt. The couple love birds and have built bird houses for the property, including a replica of their barn.
This stylized shoot was coordinated by myself, Sandra Costello, the owner of Studio SMC Photography. Love fueled this project and lots of wonderful ideas. The bike, luggage and a number of other props were provided my me to add a bit of whimsy to this love fest.

I am so proud to have been a part of this beautiful day. Sandra truly is the most amazing person with great spirit. She brought a vision to our team and let us use our talents to make it all come alive. The photos are breath taking Sandra congratulations to us all!
I am very familiar with Sandra's work and it never ceases to amaze. The little moments are always captured dynamically and the composition in each shot is consistently spectacular. In this particular shoot, Sandra continues her fabulous record by using her keen eye to find and capture the love the couple has for each other as well as the beauty in everything surrounding the couple. Love is ephemeral, but Sandra always finds a way to display it in her breathtaking photos.
Sandra these pictures are amazing!! It makes me want to get married all over again. Same guy obviously... but in that picturesque setting. You have such an artist eye for detail and a talent for telling a story thru a photo lens. Continue on your journey and Best Wishes in 2012.
Elegant and beautiful. I've had the priveldge of doing many family photo shoots with Studio SMC and I have always been thrilled with the results. Sandra makes you feel like a star and uses her gracious wit and vibrant personality to bring out the best in everyone. These photos truly demonstrate the genius of her work.
Oh my gosh these picures are gorgeous! I agree with Monica's comment - it makes me want to get married all over again!
Once again, Sandra, you have captured the moment. Your photography is as lovely as a rose.
Sandra! What a beautifully styled shoot- great job everyone!!
