Pelham House Wedding

A summer wedding at Pelham House on Cape Cod is truly something special. For Anna and Mike, getting married on the Cape was a dream rooted in family memories. For Anna, Cape Cod has been her summer sanctuary, a place woven into her family’s legacy. Her love for the Cape goes back generations, with summers spent at her grandparents’ family home, a tradition her mother continued and cherished. Now, she and her husband Mike have shared in these traditions, spending many summers here, deepening their love for the Cape during the pandemic and wedding planning.

With a love for details and an eye for logistics, Anna found joy in planning every element of the wedding day. She envisioned classic coastal invitations and touches like Four Seas ice cream at the rehearsal dinner. Music was also at the heart of her celebration, with a live band setting the tone for an unforgettable dance party. From the start, her vision was clear, and her mother, an experienced event planner, was right by her side. Together with Mike, the three became a decision-making “tribunal,” balancing tradition with personal touches. One lighthearted example: the bride wasn’t keen on symbols for each event on the details card, but when Mike and her mom voted for them, she embraced it, affectionately calling them “emojis.”

Planning this wedding on the Cape was not only a labor of love but a chance to blend family traditions with new memories. Now, as they look back on their beautiful day, they know they’ve created a moment that honors the past and celebrates their future together.

Crane Estate Wedding

Julia and Mike had the most picturesque wedding day imaginable. Picture this: it’s your wedding day and you’re watching the sunset on the rooftop after your ceremony on the grand allée of the Crane Estate. You’re about to head to your reception when you realize you forgot to practice your first dance in your dress! No time like the present so you whip out the phone playlist and have a moment together laughing and taking it all in. Despite a jam-packed day, Julia and Mike were so relaxed and enjoyed every second of their glamorous wedding. Photographers know what a dream the Crane Estate is to capture and we were thrilled with so many iconic shots. Planned to perfection by Elegant Aura, our hearts are full.

The Log Cabin Wedding

There's something profoundly special about capturing the wedding of dear friends. When Bojan, a friend of nearly a decade, asked us to photograph his wedding with the stunning Laura, we didn't hesitate for a moment. It doesn't hurt at all that Laura is a professional model and the connection they share has been truly special since day one. We began getting ready at Laura's family home in Southhampton. Laura and Bojan opted out of the traditional route and chose to get ready together in the same house.

Boston Harbor Hotel Wedding

M&B’s wedding at the stunning Boston Harbor Hotel was truly a standout event that was beautifully elegant. They chose the Boston Harbor Hotel as the backdrop for their big day, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The day started with the couple getting ready at the hotel. One of the most memorable parts of the day was the first look by the harbor. We then strolled along the harbor walk, capturing intimate moments against the picturesque views. A short journey over Fort Point Channel led us to the classic cobblestoned walk, where we captured some of my favorite photos of the day with the Boston Harbor Hotel gracing the background.

Madison and Omar’s perfect day began on a warm August day at the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester, overlooking the water. Madison was getting ready with her mom, sister, and all her bridesmaids in the bridal suite. Her makeup was flawless and she was radiating joyful energy the entire day. Meanwhile, Omar arrived at the hotel right before the first look and put the finishing touches on his perfectly tailored suit before their first look. When they saw each other for the first time, they began crying tears of joy. They were high school sweethearts and this moment was a long time coming! We began taking photos out on the deck with the brilliantly blue water sparkling in the background.

Helen is the younger sister of one of our previous clients from years ago. When she first reached out, we couldn’t have been more excited to work with her! Reuniting with her family was a blast, and meeting Mike's crew was the icing on the cake. Everyone got ready at the Intercontinental, with their huge rooms overlooking Boston Harbor. What began as a drizzly October day eventually became a beautiful afternoon.

Elm Bank Wedding

Anna & Brett’s wedding day started off like most of our weddings in 2023 - rainy and gray. Thankfully, before the first look, the rain stopped but that wasn’t the end of the waterworks. Brett was tearing up even before seeing Anna in eager anticipation of seeing her in her dress. He expressed to us that he was most looking forward to marrying Anna. His love for her was all-encompassing and they had a beautiful moment together of laughter and tears. We then walked around the gorgeous gardens of Elm Bank, taking in the vibrant seasonal flowers and ivy. The wedding party and family joined soon after and we took portraits in the Italianate Garden, next to the hydrangeas which were sporting a perfectly fall muted pink color.

Dunes Club Narragansett Wedding

Alli & Colby wanted a picturesque beach wedding at a venue that was special to them. Colby grew up going to the beach at the Dunes Club and they often enjoyed summers together by the pool. I also have been going to the Dunes Club my entire life, so it’s a very sentimental place for me as well, and was so fun to be able to capture a wedding there! Alli got ready inside the clubhouse while Colby got ready at a nearby bed and breakfast. There was a thick fog over the water that ended up slowly dissipating as the day wore on. They came together for their first look in the garden. There, they read their own vows to each other. Afterwards, we took a walk around the club grounds from the bathhouses to the cabanas to the front lawn for some photos. Then it was time to tuck away for the ceremony.

The Graduate Hotel Providence Wedding

Victoria & Christian’s wedding came together with classic and sophisticated designs mixed with the joy and fun of their energetic family and friends. They got ready at The Graduate Hotel in Providence (formally the Biltmore). The couple met at Providence College, so it only made sense that they would celebrate their wedding day in the place where their story began. They even chose to have their ceremony at the storied Saint Dominic’s Chapel on the campus of Providence College. After the heartfelt Catholic mass, they kissed and ran out the door and began cheering and celebrating - just the two of them before all their guests exited the Church. It’s such a wonderful thing to see a couple who are truly overjoyed about being officially married.

Chic Mistral Boston Wedding

This couple wanted something seemingly paradoxical. They wanted a wedding that didn’t feel like a wedding and they wanted everything to be casual but also black tie-formal. Rather than conforming to the usual formalities, E and C decided that their focus would be on candid moments, their close-knit family, their cherished friends, gourmet food, and the utmost fun. Their intention was clear: they wanted to create an atmosphere that exuded warmth and intimacy.
