Sara & Ben – Valley View Farm – Tanya Costigan Events

On this sweltering July 4th, I’m posting a very cold and icy February wedding for Sara and Ben. Cozy up with some iced tea and take a peek at this post!

A Winter Wedding at Smith College

As winter approaches, I think about my clients from a couple of years ago, Crystal and Matthew, who had their January wedding at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts.
