The day kicked off, as it should, at their home filled with the laughter and warmth of family and friends. As Galen got her hair and make up done, Tom strolled about in his monkey slippers and pjs telling jokes and whales tales while sharing in drinks and toasts.
As the time neared for the ceremony, Tom looked dapper as he walked out the front porch and across the street to look out over the Charles River. Galen followed shortly afterward and tapped him on the shoulder to share in their first look. In the soft autumn light filtered through the leaves, the emotions flooded in for the first time as Tom recalled all the years that passed between them that inevitably led to this day.
Jennifer and Tobin came all the way from way out west to share their special day with their friends and family in New Bedford, MA. Jennifer did a fantastic job planning their wedding from afar, as Tobin has spent the majority of the last year deployed with the US Air Force. Their wedding day was filled with laughter, happy tears and lots of great memories. Their nautical themed wedding was accented with teal and coral. We made sure to take the drone out for a spin to snap a few photos of the beautiful day out on Buzzard's Bay.
Kristin and Rich wanted a classic Boston wedding to really wow their guests. I would say it was a rounding success as not only was the day picture perfect but once the sun went down is when everything really shined!
Sarah and Bobby's wedding was one of the more anticipated weddings of this year's wedding season. We knew after their beautiful engagement session that their wedding was going to be well thought out and beautiful. From the light beach themed touches to the soft blush pink accents, everything was beautifully coordinated.
Alison and Jeff's wedding was a spectacular event. We are so honored to have been able to attend such a beautiful ceremony and reception. We started out the day while Alison and Jeff were getting ready at their family's homes in Narragansett. Shortly after, they shared a first look and had a few moments before their ceremony began at the South Ferry Church. After sharing their 'I do's' and a first kiss, Alison and Jeff were whisked away to take a boat ride out on the water to take them to their reception. After making their grand entrance, this sweet couple spent the evening drinking, eating and dancing with their most loved friends and family. Congratulations, Alison + Jeff!
My dear friend Toa got married at Cambridge City Hall. Such special and intimate moment shared between them and their lovely families and I was so honored to be a part of it. After the sweet ceremony, we headed over to the MFA to stroll around the museum and stop in for a delicious dinner at Bravo Restaurant. Congratulations to the happy couple!
You may remember Diandra and Chris from their epic engagement session in Paris. Well they've been engaged for a very long time and know each other for even longer. I'm going to have to say all that extra time was definitely spent crafting the ABSOLUTE MOST PERFECT WEDDING! Yes I'm going all caps because this wedding deserves all caps. Everything couldn't have been more beautiful and stunning. The venue and vendors they chose are out of this world and everything from the flowers to the cake was breathtaking. Better yet, everyone was having a great time and relishing the moment.
Jill and Matt's wedding was a wedding that was classic and timeless. From their beautifully decorated ceremony and reception to the choices of their bridal party's attire, everything was absolutely perfect. We instantly fell in love with the gold and navy color theme, with a slight hint of their favorite movie, Up.
Kurt and Kettya's wedding day was nothing less than spectacular. From the intricate detail planning to their custom made outfits, they made sure to make their wedding a day to remember. They originally met in Cambodia when Kurt was looking for a home to buy. Kettya came strongly recommended as a local real estate agent. They searched for the perfect home for Kurt and started dating shortly after. The rest is history!
What a fantastic wedding held at the newly opened Beauport Hotel. Katie and John have know each other for 12 1/2 years, if you can believe it. They met during Freshman year of high school, continued through college and have been together ever since! John proposed to Katie on a cold, windy day last year on the beach and it was only fitting that they get married on the beach as well (this time with nice weather).
Lisa and Andrew tied the knot at the always stunning Villa in East Bridgewater on a hot summer day. Andrew originally wanted to get married in December when it was nice and cool but his compromise was not having to wear a jacket in July. He was eagerly anticipating the ceremony where he saw her for the first time. Lisa made the long walk down the aisle and after that they couldn't stop smiling, laughing. This day was all about their wonderful friends and family who piled on the dance floor all night. What a fun party on a beautiful July day!
Nikki and Nate are the most hilarious and exciting couple that we have had the pleasure to photograph. They both exude energy, life and fun in everything they do. They got ready in Newport, Nikki at the Pilgrim House and Nate at the Viking Hotel. When we arrived they both admitted they hadn't written down their vows yet on nice paper yet they composed beautifully heartfelt words heard at the ceremony. When we did the first look, Nikki wanted to do it a little different - Nate was blindfolded and led through the streets of Newport to where her dress was beautifully displayed. There was a big reveal and then many laughs as we all walked to the trolley.
Julie and Ryan paths crossed many times before they finally began dating. They met each other in first grade where they shared the same homeroom class before he moved away the next year. They didn't see each other again until High school when they met at a school dance. Even that was short lived and they didn't see each other again until their college years when they met again at a friend's house. Having both recently become single their paths finally aligned and they began dating. After years of being inseparable, Ryan concocted a brilliant plan to bring Julie back into the classroom where they first met as kids. Surrounded by flowers, notes from family and their class photo, he asked her to marry him!
Yiho and Michael really did have a picture perfect wedding. They got ready at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge in the beautiful bridal suite with an incredible view of the river and skyline as well as a balcony looking on the inside of the hotel. The girls were busily prepping themselves while the guys took 10 minutes then headed to the bar (as per usual). Michael opened a gift from Yiho of gorgeous cuff links, which he proudly wore.
Diana and Will have known each other for a long time - all the way since high school! On their 10 year anniversary, they took a trip to London, Paris and Rome. They were watching the beautiful light show at the Eiffel tower when Will pulled out one more sparkle for her in a small box. Diana burst into tears of joy as the moment she had been waiting for had finally come! The rest as they say is history.
Any day that I get the chance to photograph dogs is a good day in my book! Kristen works at the Have a Heart Animal Hospital doing what she loves best - taking care of all the wonderful pups (and trying to resist bringing them all home with her). It was only fitting that Shamus would propose at the Kancamagus Highway with all 3 dogs as witness. Having the rescue pups there for the ceremony was heartwarming to say the least.
This beautiful wedding began with a first look at Houghton's Pond at Blue Hills Reservation. Rebeca teared up when she saw Henry for the first time but those tears quickly disappeared into smiles. On a calm and sunny summer day, we strolled the park, overlooking the water. That's when the rest of the bridal party showed up, ready to party! Slow down, people, we have a ceremony to attend!
This wedding really was a fairy tale. The day was warm with a cool breeze, the sun was shining with white puffy clouds and everyone couldn't have been happier. Zach and Elyse first met playing intramural volleyball in their freshman year at the University of Hartford. Soon their friendship grew and 8 years later they were married at the gorgeous Zukas Hilltop Barn.
Two different families merged during this wedding which incorporated both Vietnamese and western traditions. We began with a tea ceremony and an exciting lion dance at the house of Tram and Ben. The delicious food was brought by Ben's family and prepared by Tram's for the meal shared by the newly joined families.
This couple had a wedding focused on non-stop fun. Erin was busily working getting everything just perfect before the big day. She put together all the little details including the flowers. If she ever decides to become a professional florist, she's certainly got a knack for it!
