It’s always wonderful to be at the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester rain or shine but this is the first time we’ve experienced such wild weather! There was not only rain but high winds, hail, a blindingly golden sunset and even a purse caught fire! The dramatic weather belied the sweet and even-tempered nature of Sarah and Matt, who brought nothing but love and happiness to their wedding day. Gotta love it when mother nature decides to throw some spice into the mix!
The wedding of A+N was elegance personified. The entire event took place at the Union Club of Boston from the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony to the dancing. The Union Club has multiple levels and each event took place on a different floor. The most impressive being the top floor overlooking Boston Common. Founded in 1863, the Union Club has a rich history, which drew A+N to it as the perfect place for their wedding after enjoying it for years as members. The couple’s drive, philanthropy and love for each other make them the perfect match.
Jenna and Brad’s wedding was one of the most spectacular we’ve seen. The historic Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire is the epitome of the Grand Hotel Era from the early 1900’s. It is one of New England’s most iconic landmarks and make for the perfect backdrop for their wedding set amongst the Presidential Mountains.
Newport will always hold a special place in the hearts of Marisa and Jack since it’s where they first met studying at Salve Regina, where we ended up traveling for some gorgeous portraits. Even though the now live in Napa Valley, it only made sense that they returned to Newport for their wedding. They had their ceremony and reception at the Newport Harbor Island Resort overlooking the beautiful Newport bridge. The sunset over the water was the most spectacular we’ve seen yet!
Freddy and Steph met at a party at Hamilton College on St. Patrick's Day in 2011. Freddy asked Steph for a photo on the night they met, as if he knew he'd want to remember that moment. They started dating a year later and have been together ever since, doing long distance for nearly half their 9-year relationship. They finally moved in together in Boston in 2018 and after recently becoming homeowners, they both call Boston home.
Love radiated in every corner as Alyssa and Chris tied the knot at the breathtaking Brae Burn Country Club in Newton, Massachusetts. From the anticipation-filled moments of getting ready separately to the heartwarming sight of their first glance down the aisle, their special day was a true celebration of their love.
Ariel and Bruno’s story began in New York City but their hearts were always in Boston. They chose to have their wedding reception at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel for it’s central location and classical splendor. They got ready in the rooms overlooking the cityscape, laughing and enjoying the preparations. They had their first look and even included their adorable puppy, Teddy in some photos. We then walked over to the Public Gardens where we took a tour around Swan Pond. Ariel looked amazing in her Pnina Tornai gown and lush bouquet from Kerianne Nelson Flora.
There are just too many showstoppers in this wedding to count. Katie and Nick had the absolute perfect wedding day at the Gardens at Elm Bank. The sun was shining and the clouds looked like a painting. They began getting ready at nearby hotels and then we met in the gardens for the first look. Nick was overwhelmed seeing how beautiful Katie looked in her lace dress. We then walked around the Italianate Garden to take wedding party photos against the backdrop of the mansion.
Katie and Matt were originally planning a grand wedding at the Bradley Estate in Canton. When they had to adjust their plans, they wanted a more intimate outdoor wedding with amazing food. They found SRV Boston in the south end and it was perfect for their closest friends and families.
After planning a big State Room wedding for a year a half they had to quickly pivot to planning a smaller gathering in Mari's parents backyard. Though they couldn't have the wedding they originally hoped for, they are just happy to still be getting married. They also bought a house two months before their wedding, so it’s been exciting having so many big life events happen all at the same time in the middle of a pandemic!
Danielle and Sam’s wedding was simply the most touching and loving day we’ve seen! It ended up being a roundabout planning process beginning with a big celebration planned at a venue, then it was a smaller wedding planned at their Temple and finally ending up as a micro wedding with just immediate family at the Hammond Castle Museum in Gloucester.
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.
