The Fells, Newbury, New Hampshire

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 at 10:38am - Weddings

I photographed a wedding at The Fells in August, and I was so awe inspired by the grounds.  There were sculptures of animals hidden throughout the extensive grounds.  And the grounds themselves were a botanists delight (no, I´m not a botanist, but sounded kind of artsy...lol).  I was literally overwhelmed with the beauty...it took me about 15 minutes just to pick a few spots in which to photograph the couple...I couldn´t decide where to put them!  Usually it´s the opposite at a venue...there only one or two obvious choices.  I could have photographed there all day...and actually, I think I will spend an entire day there next Summer just hiking the trails and photographing.

Here is the description from their website....

The Fells is one of New England´s finest examples of an early 20th-century summer estate. Stroll the length of the 100-foot Perennial Border, discover the Old Garden, hidden behind masses of rhododendron, and admire the view of Lake Sunapee from the formal Rose Terrace and hillside rock garden where a brook trickles to a Japanese water lily pool. The 22-room Colonial Revival mansion is open seasonally for historic guided tours and the nature and hiking trails are open year-round, dawn to dusk.
