Eric & Linnea - A New Hampshire Winter Wedding Preview

Eric and Linnea’s December 27, 2026 wedding was the perfect winter celebration in southern New Hampshire, filled with thoughtful details and a little post-snowfall magic. The day began at The Artisan Hotel in Salem, NH, where both Eric and Linnea got ready with their family and wedding party.

From there, the celebration moved to Granite Rose in Hampstead, New Hampshire, a wedding venue that flows seamlessly from ceremony to reception with beautiful garden backdrops for photos.

The reception was full of creative touches that truly made the day their own. Linnea surprised everyone by changing into a second outfit for the reception, complete with sparkles and a nice big bow.

Guests were absolutely captivated by a live painter from J Laurence Art Studio (@jlaurenceartstudio), who created a stunning work of art in real time as the night unfolded. It was a treat to see it come to life throughout the night, with realism liken to a photo yet with that timeless look and feel of an heirloom painting.

And instead of a traditional guest book, Eric and Linnea featured one of the most unique ideas I’ve ever seen: a Lego guest book wall, where friends and family signed in by building custom Lego versions of themselves and their date, complete with dozens of accessories to choose from. It was a perfect reflection of Eric’s lifelong passion for Legos. Guests always enjoy elements of the couple’s personality incorporated into the day.
