Brian and Toks have been together for years and planned a dream destination wedding on the Amalfi coast in Italy. After this tumultuous year, they realized that wouldn’t be possible. Instead they reworked their plans to have an intimate wedding at home in NYC. Lucky for them, their home includes an incredible rooftop overlooking the Empire State building in the heart of the city! They began getting ready in their apartment in the Centurian building. Their golden retriever pup, Jack, was present and anxiously waiting for his big moment walking down the aisle as the ring bearer.
Theresa and Mike’s elegant intimate wedding began at their apartment in Cambridge. Theresa was getting ready upstairs with their apartment beautifully decorated with florals from Haus of Blooms. She was there with her Maid of Honor, mother and family members all enjoying the day. Meanwhile, Mike was getting ready downstairs with his parents, Best Man and their beloved pupperoo, Dobby the Corgi.
Kate and Eric had a big wedding planned at Cruiseport Gloucester but pushed it off until next year. They still wanted to get married this year with the seaside vibe in an intimate affair and chose Hammond Castle in Gloucester. It was perfect sunny weather and from the second they arrived, I knew it would be a joyful day. Kate was all smiles as she stepped out of the antique Bentley. They had a quick first look on the steps of the great hall and then it was time for there ceremony.
Jess and Josh had to scrap their Boston city wedding and instead planned a beautiful Cape Cod Micro Wedding in a matter of weeks. Even though it was very different than what they originally envisioned, everything was absolutely perfect from the bright sunny weather to the colorful flowers to their delicious wood fired pizza catered by Pizza Barbone. They even got to bring their puppy, Cooper to the wedding. It was such a perfect wedding day and we wish them all the best!
Robyn and Andrew have been planning their big wedding in the city with all the details figured out. So when they suddenly had to rethink their plans, they decided they still would like to be married on their original date and have a big party later on. They decided Robyn’s family home was the perfect place for a backyard wedding. It was a beautiful property in Methuen right next to a lake. Though the wedding was small, all the details were incredible from the archway to the table settings.
The first spring wedding of the season in finally here! Jessica and Truman knew they would be getting married on their original date no matter what. When initially planning their wedding, they were going back and forth between having a big guest list or only having immediate families and a few friends. So when they were forced to readjust their plans, it actually wasn’t as much of a heartbreak since they had been seriously contemplating having a tiny wedding to begin with.
Brendan and Madison Jean (MJ) enjoyed changing tradition around to create a day that was wonderfully them. They aimed to create a warm, cozy feeling of a family dinner to gather and celebrate. They perfectly mastered this with their winter wedding at the end of January. Peirce Farm at Witch Hill was lightly blanketed with snow with and horse and a mule wandering the fields. They had their own part to play in the wedding when they were brought up for a few photos. MJ volunteers at an equine therapy program for children and adults with disabilities so to be able to incorporate horses into the photos was a real treat!
Liz and Bren have that kind of relationship that always felt right. They match perfectly and you can just tell they’ll be together forever. They wanted a winter wedding where everyone could come together during the holiday time and there’s no better place for Christmas festivities than at the Fairmont Copley. The lobby was decorated exquisitely and the gold details really made it sparkle.
Hannah and Aaron wanted a city view wedding in Boston and there’s no better place than the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge, which has a wonderful view of the Boston skyline. They got ready in separate rooms and then had their first look in the Princess ballroom. We then took the short drive over to MIT, where we wandered around the beautiful scenery. There was quite a chill in the air but Hannah braved the cold to get those classic white columns and beautiful views. Just as we were finishing up portraits on Memorial drive, the moon rose over the city.
Long lasting love is something truly special and rare. Richard and Simon have been together for 25 years and to celebrate this milestone, they made the decision to make it official and have a wedding ceremony surrounded by their loving family and friends. They chose the Dome Room at the Lenox since it was the perfect size for an intimate wedding. They began getting ready in the suite and helped each other with their cuff-links and ties. It was only natural that they would be getting ready together than in separate rooms since they’ve been together so long.
Lauren and Bernie’s State Room Boston wedding was simply put, beautiful and authentic. They could think of no better spot then right in the center of Boston, including the seaport, the financial district and the North End to really feature their home city. They began getting ready at the Boston Marriott Long Wharf in separate rooms. The ladies were busily preparing (with the kids in tow!) with a gorgeous view of the fall foliage out their window. The guys were enjoying their drinks out of custom made tumblers as they got ready. After reading sweet notes to each other, everyone headed off to the ceremony.
Jessica and Ryan’s wedding was truly a fairytale come to life at the Mansion at Turner Hill. They wanted to have the first time they see each other on the wedding day when Jessica walked down the aisle. So even thought they were getting ready in the same locations, we did our best to keep them separate. They had their ceremony at St. Rose of Lima in nearby Topsfield. After the kiss, they headed back to Turner Hill.
Dasha is not only a beautiful person inside and out but also our dear friend. When Jory first proposed to her, she immediately asked if we could photograph her wedding and of course we were thrilled to be a part of it! Not only that but she chose to have the reception at our space, Somerville Studios. Dasha planned every aspect of the wedding from start to finish and her eye for detail was seen throughout. From the amazing transformation of our studio space to the little details like the flowers and gifts sprinkled throughout the day.
Maggie and Gunnar’s Sunset Farm wedding in Groton was such a relaxed and fun affair. The most important thing for them was that all their family and friends enjoyed themselves! They originally met in college Freshman year at James Madison University. They were originally friends but eventually it turned into something more over that first year. They have been through so much together from college graduations to first jobs and Gunnar was always there to rub her feet after long shifts at the hospital. Maggie has always been his best cheerleader during college football and there to support him as he advances in his career as a software engineer. They made so many stories together and their wedding day was no exception.
The most important thing to Haley and Joe was to give their friends and family and incredible weekend together enjoying the Cape. What better place then the Lighthouse Inn where everyone could relax and enjoy the scenery!
Kelly and Cuong’s wedding was nothing short of magical. They picked 3 gorgeous locations as a backdrop for their day. First they began getting ready at the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester. Every detail was simple, unique and chic. Kelly had a two part dress. The first was form fitting with a flare and the second was a long train that attached to the bodice specifically for the ceremony. The bridesmaids had long back evening gowns, which were very elegant. Cuong had a perfectly fitted white tux while his groomsmen wore a white shirt and black suspenders. The look of the bridal party was one I hadn’t seen before and it fit together so elegantly.
Cindy and Ronald had a busy weekend filled with events. Friday they had a Tea Ceremony with family and on Saturday they had a beautiful ceremony at The State Room in Boston followed by a larger reception later that night at Pallin City. Cindy’s details for the wedding were on point. Her talented cousin made all the robes, invitations and signs. Cindy kept the high fashion styling going from her dress right down to her shoes.
Steph and Joe got married at the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester this past weekend and it was nothing short of spectacular! There was not one moment of stress the entire day and it was clear from the get-go that they had such a true and everlasting love. They each began getting ready in separate rooms and were eagerly awaiting the moment they could see each other all dressed up. That moment came on the deck overlooking the ocean and Joe’s expression after seeing Steph for the first time was priceless.
Margaret and Colin’s wedding day was nothing short of spectacular at the Newport Harbor Island Resort. Everyone began getting ready there overlooking the Newport Bridge and the goats - we were on Goat Island, after all. We traveled to the Elm’s for some beautiful portraits and an emotional first look. The anticipation was building up and Colin’s tearful reaction seeing Margaret for the first time was priceless. It’s moments like that which make our job so great!
Lisa and Alex make for a beautiful couple and their marriage was the final seal to combine their families. With Armenian, Greek and Albanian roots. They got ready separately then saw each other as Lisa walked down the aisle at the St. James Armenian Church in Watertown. They had a traditional ceremony with crowns and blessings from both the Orthodox and Roman Catholic priests. Once they were wed we all traveled to the Danversport Yacht Club for their reception.
