Anita and Cho had a big beautiful wedding at the Fairmont on a gorgeous spring day. They began the day with hilarious door games followed by a traditional tea ceremony decked with gold. Anita then changed into a white dress before we took a stroll through Copley.
As we made our way to the Garden, it was a quintessential Boston scene with the little leaves dotting overhead and cherry blossoms floated on the air along Commonwealth Avenue. With weeks of rain, the sun gave way for these two.
A harp played in the Oval Room of the Fairmont as guests took their seats for their ceremony. If you've ever walked through it's ornate interior, rich with architectural details at every turn, it was an absolute pleasure to capture their day against this backdrop. In the Grand Ballroom, the dinner was perfectly set.
Knowing Cho, personally, and a great deal of his friends from Newton days, we knew they'd get the party started right and dance late into the night. We wish them many years of lasting memories.
We've known Ruben for years so when he asked us to shoot his wedding, it was a given that we would be the ones to capture the day. It all started with rain... a LOT of rain. The plan was to have the ceremony in the Boston public garden so the downpour was less than desired. Ruben is the general manger at Red Sky Studios, where everyone got ready. He then wrangled some PA's to rig up tents in the garden. When we arrived, the rain just stopped at the perfect time and the clouds parted.
Their ceremony was short and sweet, with them exchanging their vows to each other. Afterwards we took a walk around the park taking photos along the water and among the beautiful spring flowers. In the afternoon, they threw a fun party back at Red Sky and partied the night away.
Jenny and Andrew had a beautiful wedding day at the Liberty Hotel in Boston on a chilly day in the beginning of March. You can never predict New England weather and this day it was 17 degrees. Jenny wanted to take a few photos outside (Andrew skeptically agreed) and we all made about 5 minutes before we ran back inside to warm up! The best part of getting married at the Liberty is the beauty and chic atmosphere inside. A former jailhouse, there are 5 stories of balconies in this historic spot.
When two filmmakers ask you to film and photograph their wedding, it's always a nerve wracking prospect. When one of them is a veteran of LV and Above Summit then it's an even bigger undertaking! These two planned their elopement to be something totally different than anything we've ever seen before. They traveled to NYC and rented a helicopter, saying their vows to each other and sealing it with a kiss high above the city! After the high flying ceremony, we went to Top of the Rock to watch the sunset over the city. Finally, we took the short walk to Times Square and they had fun twirling around in the heart of the city.
If you can believe it, having an incredibly stunning wedding on the Amalfi Coast was this couple's "Plan B". Don't worry folks, it all worked out and cemented stories to be told for generations. Discover the story of Michelle + Nick's dream wedding.
Danielle began getting ready at their house in Newburyport. Her adorable flower girls definitely stole the show as they thew a dance party, spinning in their tulle skirts and casting spells with their princess wands! Danielle was incredibly stunning in her lace gown and succulent bouquet. Dan got ready nearby and they both met at the Immaculate Conception Parish in Newburyport. After their traditional Catholic ceremony, they got in the limo and headed over to Turner Hill.
When first meeting this couple, we could tell that Kasey has an eye for design. Anthony knows that with her high fashion taste, the perfect gift was a gorgeous Chanel necklace. She surprised him right back with a stunning Burberry watch. They had their first look in the gardens at Turner Hill in Ipswich. There were still leaves on the trees all the way into mid November with brilliant colors surrounding the property. We wandered the gardens taking in the beauty around us of the historic property.
Their wedding took place at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge right along the Charles River. Elana has a creative eye and was drawn to the blueish gray tones of the recently renovated hotel as it perfectly matched her color palette. Her love of gems really showed in the beautiful details in the place cards and table numbers. She hand painted the gems herself! After the Ketubah signing, they had a beautiful ceremony under the custom made Huppa. For their reception, the band Night Shift really got things going with one of the most intense Horas I've seen. What a fun night, congrats guys!
Knowing Jillian for even a short time has taught us a lot about who she is. Loving, hilarious and oh so much energy! It's only fitting that Mike's calm is her perfect complement. When they first went out for drinks then dinner, they instantly had a connection. He proposed to her right after the 4th of July fireworks on the Cape. Jillian was hoping to find some sparklers and also received a moment she would never forget.
Natalie and Mario have known each other for ages. After connecting through mutual friends, they have been dating all the way since 2003. When Mario proposed, it was on Natalie's birthday. Earlier in the week, she arrived home early and found a package, thinking that it was the handbag she had been wanting. He played it off like the package was for his mom. At midnight of her birthday he gave her the mysterious package. As she was opening it up, to her dismay she found the big box empty! She then spotted a tiny box inside and looked to Mario who was on one knee. She may not have gotten that handbag but she got something even better!
Ashley and Matt met each other in architecture school and traveled abroad. After a long friendship, they finally began dating after graduation. Matt ended up proposing after thanksgiving dinner during a walk around the Doris Duke's estate in Newport. That was one of Matt's favorite spots after summers spend cliff jumping. It only made sense that they would be married in Newport, where Matt grew up.
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!
