It was actually a destination wedding for many of the guests, as they were from all over the world \u2013 including Chile, Australia, California, New Zealand, and Minnesota \u2013 too many places to mention! It was the most interesting and diverse group of wedding guests we\u2019ve ever encountered. As both the bride and groom grew up on the ski slopes, many of their friends and guests were avid skiers as well. That was something many people there had in common.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2500\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/01-Rustic-Wedding.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/01-Rustic-Wedding.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/01-Rustic-Wedding-600x448.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/01-Rustic-Wedding-768x574.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This was the wedding of an actual Von Trapp family member. \u00a0 The wedding took place at the Trapp Family Lodge\u00a0<u>www.trappfamily.com<\/u>\u00a0in Stowe, Vermont. The bride was raised in Chile and her stepfather is the owner of a magnificent ski resort in Portillo &#8220;Ski Portillo&#8221;\u00a0This is actually where they first met. The groom was a ski instructor at the resort at the time. \u00a0Having known each other for 13 years believe it or not, which is one reason why their wedding day was so highly anticipated by family members and friends alike! The history of leaving Austria back in the 1930\u2019s was the inspiration for the Broadway show and later the 1965 film, The Sound of Music. \u00a0 Maria, who was also in attendence was the actual Maria that Julie Andrews portrayed in the film. The father, Johannes, was Maria and Captain von Trapp\u2019s last child. Several other relatives. \u00a0 The von Trapp\u2019s history is so unbelievably interesting. The Trapp Family lodge has a magnificent collection of photos and memorabilia of the family\u2019s long history, plus in each room there is a book with more photos and information about the family. We didn\u2019t have time to read the whole thing so I bought it at the gift shop to read later at home.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2501\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/02-Rustic-Raomance.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/02-Rustic-Raomance.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/02-Rustic-Raomance-600x424.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/02-Rustic-Raomance-768x543.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2502\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2502\" style=\"width: 446px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2502 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/03-Rustic-Destination-wedding.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/03-Rustic-Destination-wedding.jpg 446w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/03-Rustic-Destination-wedding-412x600.jpg 412w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2502\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A special moment in the doorway of the parent&#8217;s gorgeous wooden home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We really can\u2019t say enough about both families. \u00a0Everyone we met was gracious, friendly and most hospitable.

It was a delicious meal, including soup, salad, a game course and an entr\u00e9e. There were many entertaining and emotional speeches made during the dinner and the bride and groom were filled with emotion as their many guests and relatives shared story after amusing story for all to hear. A delectable dessert table was set up later in the downstairs lounge, where the guests were invited to a welcome reception and live music.<\/p>\n<p>The next night, we were invited to the groom\u2019s parents\u2019 home for a cocktail party. \u00a0The groom&#8217;s parents were terrific hosts as they opened up their magnificent home to all wedding guests. It was a great time and we took the opportunity to photograph the bride and groom in a more casual atmosphere before their wedding day.

We\u2019ve been to Stowe many times, but had never stayed at the lodge. Everything there was impeccable \u2013 the staff was friendly and helpful, our room was comfy and large and the overall surroundings magnificent. Also, the cuisine at the lodge was to die for! Check out the bottom of this post to see cuisine photos from the Trapp Lodge. We were given the opportunity to photograph (and taste) many of the meals that were served over the course of the weekend. As you\u2019ll see from the photos in this post, the scenery around the lodge is just breathtaking. Also, we are usually in Vermont in the winter, so seeing the green rolling hills in the spring was really neat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2507\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/08-Bride-Groom-Stowe-VT.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/08-Bride-Groom-Stowe-VT.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/08-Bride-Groom-Stowe-VT-600x421.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/08-Bride-Groom-Stowe-VT-768x539.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2508\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/09-soon-to-be-married.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/09-soon-to-be-married.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/09-soon-to-be-married-600x389.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/09-soon-to-be-married-768x499.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2509\" style=\"width: 875px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2509 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/10-Rustic-Destination-Wedding.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/10-Rustic-Destination-Wedding.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/10-Rustic-Destination-Wedding-600x350.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/10-Rustic-Destination-Wedding-768x448.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elisa with her bridesmaids and flower girls, nieces Annie and Stella (left to right).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As Saturday approached, so did the rain clouds. By 2pm, however, the clouds began to lift and the sun finally came out. After several days of on and off rain \u2013 this was truly perfect timing! There was definitely a concern about rain, as this was pretty much planned as an outdoor wedding. The ceremony was at a chapel that was built by one of the Von Tripp&#8217;s family members (Werner von Trapp) over 50 years ago. To reach this chapel, one has to basically hike uphill through the woods to get there. It is certainly a pretty trek, though, and well worth it! The chapel is made of stone and so quaint \u2013 only about 4 people actually can fit inside, so the ceremony was conducted right in front with wedding guests and musicians standing all around in the woods.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2510\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2510\" style=\"width: 875px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2510 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/11-Vermont-Bride.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/11-Vermont-Bride.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/11-Vermont-Bride-600x416.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/11-Vermont-Bride-768x532.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2510\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elisa is emotional as she speaks to her maternal grandmother via cell phone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2511\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2511\" style=\"width: 875px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2511 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/12-Going-to-the-Chapel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/12-Going-to-the-Chapel.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/12-Going-to-the-Chapel-600x274.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/12-Going-to-the-Chapel-768x350.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2511\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The path on the way to the chapel was a steep climb through the woods&#8230; The girls have fun making the trek to the chapel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2512\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/13-Rustic-wedding-decor.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/13-Rustic-wedding-decor.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/13-Rustic-wedding-decor-600x285.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/13-Rustic-wedding-decor-768x365.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2513\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2513\" style=\"width: 875px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2513 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/14-Groomsmen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/14-Groomsmen.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/14-Groomsmen-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/14-Groomsmen-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2513\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The groom and his groomsmen pause for a photo on their way to the chapel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>From there, we hiked down the mountain taking pictures along the way.
