MILITARY WEDDING SWORD ARCH | BRETTON WOODS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS | LIZ’S TOP 19 OF 2019 #17

Bride and groom during a military wedding Sword Arch

Military Wedding Sword Arch photo! We have a very soft spot in our hearts for anyone in the military, and as well for military weddings. Abigail and Courtland BOTH graduated from the US Naval Academy (thank you both for your service!)

When Abigail and Courtland told us they were hoping there’d be a military wedding sword arch, we were excited! Especially since their wedding venue was the truly spectacular Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire!

In any branch of the military, there’s always a chance that you may be called away, which is why Abigail and Courtland weren’t sure about their military wedding sword arch. According to what we’ve seen, at least 6 to 8 members of the service are required.

It all worked out, (really well!) and were we ever happy it did! Here are Abigail and Courtland pausing to kiss as they pass under the swords. The looming presence of Mount Washington really adds to the romance of the moment.

See the rest of Abigail and Courtland’s Bretton Woods Wedding!
