Sylvia (whose name means “She of the Woods”) and Dan got married on some wooded property overlooking Lake Champlain in the New North End of Burlington, just behind the former Catholic Archdiocese.

I had no idea about the network of trails running along the bluff, but apparently it’s a popular mountain-biking spot.

This is where they’d gone on their first date, and where he proposed, so it seemed highly appropriate for them to be getting married there.

It was a scorchingly hot day in the mid-90s, but sweet and cool in the trees.  I felt like I was performing a ceremony for Titania and Oberon.

This is why performing weddings in Vermont is so much fun.  There’s always lovely people and always gorgeous places to support them in their love.
