There's something so special about this quiet New England island right off the coast of Rhode Island. What better place to have an incredible engagement session, especially since it means so much to Alison and Jeff who know the island well. We spent the whole day exploring the beaches, the lighthouse and vistas. Stopping along the way for a champagne toast and even a few beers as the sun was setting. We will always remember this relaxing day and can't wait for their wedding in Newport next year!
Mary + Leon's wedding is day none of us here at Lovely Valentine will ever forget. We spent the day with a couple who clearly love each other with such passion and we were honored to be there to capture their special day. The traditional Cathlolic Vietimese ceremony took place at the St Anthony of Padua Church. Afterwards, we took the bridal party to Downtown Boston and had the rare opportunity to bump into Rob Gronkowski! We finished up the night at the Empire Garden Restaurant, full of dancing and laughter. We wish Mary + Leon a lifetime of love and happiness!
What a fun group of people we had the luck to spend this amazing day with! Lina + Steve had a beautiful ceremony and reception at The Oceanview of Nahant. The night was full of dancing and laugher. Congrats to the lovely couple! You deserve all the happiness in the world!
Sarah and Joe certainly are loving people who we will always remember not only for the love they showed for their family and friends but also to us. At one point Sarah actually offered her slice of cake and her drink to me! The warmth they have and their giving spirits is truly an inspiration.
They met at the local Saloon bar (awesome spot for anyone in the Davis square area). They instantly had a connection and their lives were forever changed when Joe proposed during a sleigh ride as the snow was falling around them. What a romantic!
This couple is going to have a big wedding next August and to prepare, we made the trek out to western mass to capture their engagement session. We began at the perfectly wonderful Look Park. We then traveled to the Great River Bridge in Westfield, a special place for Erick since he worked on the project. What an amazing view between twin bridges! These two look absolutely radiant and we can't wait for their big Portuguese wedding next year.
Friday we had the pleasure of spending the day with Miss Grace and her parents. We were so impressed by how calm and sweet Grace was. She slept through her entire session and was a dream.
Nick is a firefighter and in the Coast Guard, so we made sure to add a little something sentimental to her newborn session. We also made sure to celebrate the change of seasons by adding a pop of red, orange and yellow to her nest. We can't wait for this family to come see us again soon!
With such a colorful couple like Kellie & Steven, it's no surprise that their officiant was NASA astronaut and ISS Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria. The two tied the knot beneath a vibrant arbor at the Woodstock Inn & Resort and were quickly escorted off by three Storm Troopers.
Kellie and Steven are adventurous, to say the least. Their idea for a relaxing vacation is spending an entire week in North Korea. Their passion for the extreme is what brought them together and what continues to strengthen their love.
It's funny how people come together. Cara and Enget met through Vui, Enget's sister who thought that Cara would be the perfect fit for her brother. After a romantic proposal at Cara's graduation ceremony, the two decided to tie the Knot at Waverly Oaks Golf Club.
We first met Enget at a wedding (shout out to Kelly + Louis!) as he was capturing their video as part of his brilliant Wedding4Wedding project. We loved their carefree style and had so much fun capturing their beautiful day! In case you couldn't tell, their lovable Dachshund Moose was the guest of honor. With the hot dog theme on virtually every detail, it's clear these guys love their pup and made him part of their celebration. We absolutely love this couple and wish them a lifetime of wet doggie kisses. Congrats guys!
This couple wow-ed us from the start. After their classic Boston engagement session, they were totally at ease in front of the camera while their love for each other shined through. This Saturday was supposed to be rainy but it was miraculously a beautiful day! Their ceremony took place at the Danversport Yacht Club while tears and smiles graced them as they wed. The rest of the night was filled with epic dancing.
Dan's a lucky man to marry a talented dancer like Lindsay but I have to give him credit for his incredible moves during their wedding! He not only nailed the lifts but even started a conga line that wound all the way around the dance floor. We are so lucky to be a part of such a beautiful and fun wedding. Congrats guys!
Have you heard? Nestled, by Lovely Valentine offers maternity, newborn and family portraits from our studio!
Theresa came by last week and we had a great time capturing her last pregnancy. She and her husband have three beautiful children and are expecting a baby girl next week. We can't wait to meet Miss Maeve Ellen later this month!
We are excited to announce that Justina + Chris's Searles Castle wedding is featured on The Knot! Their romantic and traditional wedding has been catching a lot of eyes lately.
Here's some exciting news for your Monday: Katelyn + Ryan's The Towers wedding has been featured on The Knot! We absolutely love the details from this military wedding with a nautical twist.
Wow, what a perfect night to walk around Gloucester! We begain at Cressy Beach and ended up taking a walk by the Eastern Point Lighthouse. Mary and Leon have been so much fun to spend time with and they definitely brought their A game to this lovely evening session. I can't wait to see what their fashionista style will bring on their wedding day in October!
Great news! Nicole + Tony's Currier Museum of Art wedding is featured today on The Knot's Real Weddings!
Congratulations, Nicole + Tony! Your sophisticated, classically detailed wedding was truly an inspiration.
Who doesn't love watching a ridiculous Slow-Mo Booth?! We knew going in that Gloria and Tyson would have a crazy party from their antics a year ago.
We are excited to announce that Lydia + Todd's The Barn at Gibbet Hill wedding is featured today on The Knot!
Congratulations to Lydia + Todd! Their attention to detail and creative enthusiasm caught the attention of a few publications to inspire other brides and grooms to come.
Laura and Matt were married at the historic Publick House, filled with old colonial charm. While it was raining on and off during the morning, the second Laura stepped outside, the clouds broke and sun shined down upon her and Matt as they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day. If that's not good luck then I don't know what is!
This lovely couple met us in North Point Park on a beautiful day to take in the incredible view of the Zakim and the Charles. Afterwards we drove to Beacon Hill for a walk around the quintessentially Boston cobblestoned streets. Finally we ended up in the Boston Garden right as the sun was setting and the sky was set aglow by the street lamps.
We were honored to spend a perfect day with one of the sweetest and happiest couples we've met as they tied the knot in Narragansett, RI. When Mike met Liz at a concert, he immediately knew she was the one. They got to know each other through long walks around Horn Pond in Woburn. After a few years, he surprised her with a trail of clues leading to Mike on a bended knee at the pond.
Check out this gorgeous day spent with Leilei and Lanay as they held their ceremony in Boston Garden right by the water. They then had a fabulous reception at Hei La Moon in Chinatown.
