Greg and Gretchen, owners of this fabulous vacation rental, are also the amazing duo behind the catering company Bon Temps Gourmet. Gretchen is the consummate hostess and an amazing gardener and Greg is an incredible chef and home brewer. The two of them make a perfect team.
During my shoot in 2012, Gretchen asked if she could hire me to take some images for their business. Due to time constraints, it just wasn't able to happen on that trip. However, we made it work on this recent trip to Vermont. From an outdoor wedding with a big wood fire oven to a backyard dinner at Greg and Gretchen's house, I was able to document all aspects of Bon Temps Gourmet.
I hope the shots below give you a sense of what a special experience Greg and Gretchen create for their guests and clients. If you are ever visiting central Vermont, I cannot recommend their rental highly enough. In addition to all the goodness I described above, there are miles of hiking trails right across the street. It's magical.
Oh, and Greg's beer ROCKS. :)
