Lisa & Ben got married at the beautiful Elm Bank where mother nature made her appearance and graced us with some showers. The rain didn't stop us from going throughout the gardens and capturing Lisa & Ben in love. Lisa's dress was one of a kind, her mom had so many memorable "something borrowed" pieces for her to wear that meant so much to them both. From Lisa's baby ring (that still fit her!) to her grandmothers, and grandfathers pins. These two were real troopers with all the curve balls that were thrown at us throughout the day. Their wedding day will certainly be one to remember not for the rain but for their devotion to each other.
Sierra and Andrew are a true part of the local community in Newburyport.

Molly and Dhruve made our jobs very easy on their wedding day - there aren't enough great things to say about this wedding! They had both a Jewish and a Hindu ceremony over the course of two days. The first evening was a more informal Jewish ceremony with their closest family and friends at Molly's house in Needham. The next day was their extravagant Indian wedding at Elm Bank in Wellesley. The unique combination of both cultures and their love for one made their wedding truly unforgettable.

They then headed to the Atlantic Beer Garden where BearFight was playing and to Leia's surprise, all their family and friends were waiting for them!
Emily and Stephen began the process thinking that they would elope or have an intimate wedding at city hall. In the end they realized that they both wanted to share the day with their closest family and friends, so they opted to host something a bit more traditional but still relaxed and fun. They chose La Brasa because the food, drink, and atmosphere aligned with the non-traditional vibe they were hoping to achieve for their wedding. They got lucky with a perfect sunny day as a sign of things to come!
Kaitlyn and Dana were such a sweet couple! Being high-school sweethearts their love for one another was special, which made photographing them a true joy.

VanNhi and Pierre's wedding was a party from the start! The energy from the bridal party all the way through till dancing they kept us moving on our feet. They had their first look, ceremony and reception all at the Danversport Yacht Club. There were thunderstorms in the forecast but they held off long enough for them to have their touching ceremony outside overlooking the harbor. The way Pierre looked at VanNhi was inspiring, their love for one another is unconditional.
Breezy and Tim's wedding day couldn't have been more perfect! Not a cloud in the sky and a light breeze coming off the ocean. Breezy and Tim go to their cape beach house almost every weekend to get away from the city. As a child Breezy's grandmother used to take Breezy to the beach when she was a little girl, so it holds true sentimental value to her. The wedding took place at the Wychmere beach club right on the coast. During the ceremony, there was hardly a dry eye. You could tell Breezy and Tim were beyond excited they picked a venue that was to close to their hearts and got to spend the day with so many close friends and family.
Michelle and Jackie met at crew many years ago, which was where they developed a deep friendship and fell in love. Some of Jackie's favorite memories were spent on the dock in Edgartown on her family's estate. It was only natural that they would decided to get married there surrounded by their beloved family and friends.

They popped a bottle of champagne for a quick sip on the beach and then they went up to the top of the lighthouse for some quick photos overlooking the harbor.
Their wedding took place at the gorgeous Willowdale Estate is in the middle of a state forest. Kim's idea was to incorporate simplicity in their decorations to let nature shine through with a bohemian feel. Kim comes from a crafty family and always knew she wanted to plan the small details on her wedding day. Their entire day was filled with surrounding love from family and friends. Despite the light showers, it didn't put a damper on the day at all. Towards the end of day we got to sneak out for a beautiful sunset. What a relaxed and beautiful day to remember forever!
Kiley and Sean had a dream wedding in Marblehead, one of the most picturesque towns in New England. They began getting ready with a pop of champagne and laughs all around.

Their sweet ceremony ended with a kiss then a ribbon sendoff. They were driven by an antique Rolls Royce over to the dock, where they boarded a boat to bring them to the Corinthian Yacht Club.
Sakshi & Suman first met in orientation week during their residency program and their quick friendship turned into a great relationship!

Suman arranged it so that they would arrive ahead of their parents with breakfast. He then surprised Sakshi with a proposal and a ring, carefully stashed away in his pocket.
The wedding day began getting ready at a hotel with bubbles, both the alcoholic and the soapy kind. It continued as we made our way to the church, where we were greeted by a bagpiper in full Scottish garb. Their sweet ceremony included a gasp of joy from Joe as he saw her walk down the aisle along with a few happy tears from Emily. After the ceremony, we were off to Gibbet Hill!
This gorgeous wedding took place at the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester on a chilly spring day. The girls got ready in their suite passing around champagne and dancing around. The guys were the least serious group we've seen in awhile, always joking around and having a great time. Ariel and Alex saw each other as she walked down the aisle of St. Anne's Church for their beautiful ceremony. With a kiss and bubble exit, we headed over to Stage Fort Park for photos.
Emily and Mark first met at the New England College of Optometry in 2008. They began dating and have been with each other ever since 2012. They wanted to make their wedding truly special and unique so they decided to get married in Bermuda with their family and friends. Only 2 hours away from snowy Boston, the opal sea, pink beaches and palm trees seemed almost too good to be true!
What can I say about this fun couple who got married on one of the coldest days of the year? Well it didn't matter how cold it was outside because they lit up the Sonesta! They had a sweet ceremony with tears and laughs and then immediately went into one of the most crazy dance parties we've ever seen. You would think photographing hours and hours of dancing might get boring but not with this crowd. People of all ages were crowding the dance floor. There was a chair dance, an Irish jig, costumes, the limbo and to cap it all off confetti cannons that filled the room up with sparkles as the fireworks went off in the distance. What an epic way to ring in the New Year. Cheers to 2018!
Daniella and Ted had their first date in Austin at a wine bar and 3 hours later they knew they wanted to see more of each other. On a family trip to Iceland, they toured waterfalls, went snowmobiling and took a private tour inside of a glacier. It was there that Ted got down on one knee and proposed! When planning a location for their wedding, they considered their family and friends in New York, Texas, California and Mexico. Instead of picking just one of those spots they decided to make an adventure of it and get married in Italy. What better place than Ravello, the balcony of the Amalfi Coast!
Delia and JJ's stunning winter wedding was held at the Hampshire House in Boston on a snowy December day.
This wedding was such a wonderful experience for us. Sarah is the sister of one of our all time favorite couples Jennifer & Tobin they and flew us out to Chicago to capture the beauty of their city! It was an unseasonably warm fall day when we toured around all the sites. We began with their first look right outside their apartment. We then took a trolley to Navy Pier with an incredible view of the city. We then went to the bridges over the river downtown and finally made a stop at the iconic Chicago Theater.
