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.
Beautiful location alert! Leah and Will decided they wanted a nautical theme for their engagement session so we decided to go to Marblehead. We began at Crocker Park, where there was a beautiful castle with pretty ivy. We then walked to the water with so many little sailboats dotting the harbor. After that, we took a drive to Castle Rock around the other side of the harbor. The waves were huge and crashing on the rocks as we scaled over to a good vantage of the tumultuous surf.
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.
Ariel and Bruno wanted to commemorate their life in NYC with an engagement session in the city. They are moving back to Massachusetts but have so many wonderful memories in the city! These days, there are very few people out and about so we had free reign without crowds. We began in the seaport to capture the beautiful cobblestone streets and brick buildings. We then walked to the water to get a great view of the Brooklyn bridge lit up in the distance. After that, we headed over to their neighborhood near Battery park. Just as we got there, a summer rain storm came rolling through. Thankfully we got to their apartment just in time for a quick outfit change and to pick up their adorable golden-doodle, Teddy.
I should title this session: beautiful people in beautiful places. Laura and Ed chose the most beautiful place to photograph in Massachusetts: Castle Hill on the Crane Estate. The beauty of the grounds and the elegant manor are truly a sight to see. The Trustees of Reservations manage the property and have preserved its history. We began in the Italian gardens where there were so many flowers in bloom. We then walked down to the Casino hidden under the hill. Finally we made the walk back up to the main house to get the perfect view of the grande allée.
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.
Taylor and James are so excited for their wedding and couldn’t wait for their Boston engagement session! Even though they are getting married in Florida, they wanted their engagement session to represent the life they live in the Northeast. We began the session in the Boston Public Gardens. The leaves were a beautiful bright green and the gorgeous weeping willows were just touching swan pond.
Maria and Justin met me for a beautiful walk around Maudslay park in Newburyport. They brought along their goldendoodle puppy named Luna who graced us with her adorable wiggles. Maudslay was in full bloom with bright colors abound. We walked along the wooded paths to the beautiful gardens old past stone bridges and blooming magnolia trees. There was beauty at every turn.
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.
Jillian and Emmett are truly meant to be. The connection between each other was so lovely that they made my job a breeze! We began walking around the gardens of Elm Bank on a warm afternoon. Jillian and Emmett wore blues to stand out against the lush greens. From there we took the short drive to Wellesley College, where Emmett both attended and now currently works.
