Steph and Luke's wedding was a beautiful and unforgettable event. The couple had a special connection to Boston College, where they met and spent their college years together. They decided to get married at St. Ignatius at Boston College, surrounded by the place where their love story began. The church, with its towering spires and grand architecture, provided the perfect setting for Steph and Luke to exchange their vows.
Kelli and Anthony tied the knot at the stunning Newport Harbor Island Resort on a beautiful sun-filled day. We began with Kelli and Anthony getting ready at the resort, surrounded by their bridesmaids and groomsmen. They were both filled with anticipation and excitement as they prepared for their wedding ceremony. After they were ready, they shared a special moment with their first look by the seawall. Following the first look, we took photos of the couple on the dock and next to the lighthouse, capturing their love against the backdrop of the island's natural beauty.
The Peabody Essex Museum is known for its beautiful gardens and outdoor spaces, and Lisa and Dan chose to take advantage of these picturesque settings for their wedding photos. The museum's spacious lawns and lush gardens provided the perfect backdrop for their wedding portraits, which will be a beautiful reminder of their special day for years to come. The purple florals added a pop of color to the already gorgeous setting, making the day even more memorable.
Lauren + Matt decided to take their time with wedding planning because of the pandemic so they were able to incorporate many elements of Boston into different aspects of their day. They decided to ditch the wedding cake tradition in favor of Boston’s famous Mike’s Pastry cannoli’s instead. They also wrote hand written notes to each of their guests as escort cards to make sure they all knew how grateful they were than they could celebrate with them. Lauren even designed a 6x8’ moss wall as a backdrop to their photo booth!
How can I write about perfection? From the very beginning to the very end, this day went absolutely perfectly. From the smallest of details to the big moments - like the gorgeous sailboat directly behind them as they shared their first kiss! Maggie grew up in Duxbury so she knew she wanted a beach wedding. After looking around the many south shore venues, a friend suggested she check out the Beauport. After having lunch there they decided it was a perfect fit for their nautical-themed wedding.
S+R had the most elegant spring wedding day that was just so classically Boston. They began getting ready at the Lenox Hotel overlooking the hustle and bustle of Boylston street. I loved the details of the gold leaf invitation and the creative library book card save-the-date. The flowers were absolutely stunning and the soft pink and white peonies gave the feeling of spring. When everyone was dressed and ready, we headed out to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cathedral. They had their sweet ceremony and we all rode back to the reception at the Boston Public Library.
Vanessa had a vision and she spent countless hours putting together all the finishing touches to bring that dream to reality. The only Saturday in May that was available at Connemara House Farm happened to be, Saturday May 7th, Vanessa's favorite day of the year! The Kentucky Derby always falls on the first Saturday in May so it was perfect timing. All the guests arrived dressed in bright colors and fun hats. That set the stage for an amazingly fun experience.
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!
This wedding was one of the most awesomely creative and unique we’ve ever shot. It was a whole vibe from Nette’s golden amber dress to Ben’s emerald green tweed suit. They got ready at a private estate in Gloucester near the ocean. They had their first look on the rocky coastline under the warm sun. They then walked back to have their ceremony under a chuppah in the grass as their friends and family stood surrounding them. Their pup even made an appearance running down the aisle as the ring bearer! With a kiss they were wed and then guests enjoyed their time admiring the stunning views and sunset.
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.
Maggie and Jon frequent Duxbury Beach and wanted a sunny and bright beachy engagement session. Unfortunately New England weather had other plans, as an unexpected thunderstorm rolled in right when we were to begin our session! Not to be deterred, the clouds made for a dramatic backdrop against the soft sands of the beach.
Alyssa + Chris wanted to have their engagement photos taken in the place most special to them. The Seaport is where they live with their adorable English Bulldog named Peach. We began right outside their home in a little park for some doggy kisses. Next we walked right around the corner to some beautiful cobblestones in between industrial brick buildings. As we walked towards the water, we made a quick stop to photograph the spot where Chris proposed. Finally, we made it to the water, where we climbed the steps of the ICA and explored the Harborwalk. The Seaport is one of my favorite spots to photograph since the architecture looks great year round. Congrats to the happy couple!
Back in March of 2020, most of us didn’t think we would still be dealing with the pandemic today. Many postponed their wedding plans from 2020 to 2021 thinking that we would be safe to have large gatherings with hugs and dancing all around. Instead it’s time to get creative. Let me introduce you to pandemic wedding planning 101. After having seen 20 weddings last year, we’ve learned a thing or two!
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.
