4) Required Clothing:
We are dining in a private dining room for our meals, however, the only path to enter this private dining room is to walk through the main dining room at the resort. This main dining room is the only AAA four diamond restaurant in the state of New Hampshire and it requires all men to wear a suit jacket even if we are only walking through it. So please be aware of this and bring your own jacket. If you happen to forget, the hotel does have a selection of loaner jackets that you may borrow for the meals. The attire is to be considered resort casual for the trip, so please pack appropriately.
5) What's the weather like:
The weather in Bretton Woods, NH averages a high of 58º and a low of 37º for the month of October. We will be outside before sunrise and after sunset, so be mindful of the lows. We believe strongly that some of the best shots come during adverse weather, so we will shoot through light and moderate rain, dress appropriately.
