Haley and Joe are two of the sweetest people I've met. It was clear from the first few minutes how much they are devoted to each other. We met at World's End on a warm summer's evening as the sun was slowly making it's way down to a golden glow. I warned Haley to wear comfortable shoes since we ended up walking miles along the rolling hills, exploring all that World's End has to offer. The best part was when we got to the quiet forested area and then spotted 3 deer - two does and a fawn. We walked a bit further then saw many more of all ages in the long grass, seemingly unfazed by our presence. We ended up seeing 11 total that evening, which was such a magical experience. What good luck as they embark on their journey as soon-to-be husband and wife!
Their beautiful ceremony took place at the Fruitlands Museum over looking the hills. They decided to integrate both catholic and Jewish traditions for their wedding day with a Rabbi and Nancy's Uncle Dan as officiants. Throughout the day there were so many moments for Nancy and Eugene that held a special place in their hearts. Congratulations to Nancy and Eugene we wish you the best!
Cynthia and Billy began getting ready at a modern AirBnB overlooking a pond on the Cape. They had a short tea ceremony with their parents and then it was off to the Heritage Museum and Gardens. Cynthia changed into her white dress and they had their first look by the fountain. We then walked with the bridal party around the extensive grounds. From secret gardens to a tree house to an old fashioned carousel, every corner we turned there was beauty!
Lisa & Ben got married at the beautiful Elm Bank where mother nature made her appearance and graced us with some showers. The rain didn't stop us from going throughout the gardens and capturing Lisa & Ben in love. Lisa's dress was one of a kind, her mom had so many memorable "something borrowed" pieces for her to wear that meant so much to them both. From Lisa's baby ring (that still fit her!) to her grandmothers, and grandfathers pins. These two were real troopers with all the curve balls that were thrown at us throughout the day. Their wedding day will certainly be one to remember not for the rain but for their devotion to each other.
I met Jen and Grant on a summery day at the Boston Public Gardens with their adorable dog, Frankie. The rambunctious 1 year old pup stayed still long enough for some quick photos before being brought home by Jen's mom. We then walked around the gardens taking in the sights and grabbing some beautiful shots by the pond. This stylish couple made my job easy and I loved the coordination with the pop of red in Jen's shoes and earrings and Grant's pocket square!
Sierra and Andrew are a true part of the local community in Newburyport. They live on Plum Island across the street from the beach with their two parakeets and right next door are members of their band. They chose to have their engagement session in Newburyport and also their wedding to truly capture their hometown.
Karen and Pat's day will go down as the hottest of the year for us! The two of them eloped in Kauai, Hawaii back in February with Karen planning the whole elopement in just one week! They spent two weeks island hopping then came back to plan a celebration with family and friends.
Molly and Dhruve made our jobs very easy on their wedding day - there aren't enough great things to say about this wedding! They had both a Jewish and a Hindu ceremony over the course of two days. The first evening was a more informal Jewish ceremony with their closest family and friends at Molly's house in Needham. The next day was their extravagant Indian wedding at Elm Bank in Wellesley. The unique combination of both cultures and their love for one made their wedding truly unforgettable.
Leia and Matt had their first date in the Seaport where they went to Legal Test Kitchen for dinner, followed by the Atlantic Beer Garden for drinks. Matt wanted to surprise Leia by setting up his proposal by mimicking their date. After the dinner, he proposed to her on a bridge where he had first put his arm around her when she was cold. They then headed to the Atlantic Beer Garden where BearFight was playing and to Leia's surprise, all their family and friends were waiting for them!
Emily and Stephen began the process thinking that they would elope or have an intimate wedding at city hall. In the end they realized that they both wanted to share the day with their closest family and friends, so they opted to host something a bit more traditional but still relaxed and fun. They chose La Brasa because the food, drink, and atmosphere aligned with the non-traditional vibe they were hoping to achieve for their wedding. They got lucky with a perfect sunny day as a sign of things to come!
Kaitlyn and Dana were such a sweet couple! Being high-school sweethearts their love for one another was special, which made photographing them a true joy. Despite the heat wave that came in and the chance of thundershowers that never happened, it didn't stop Kaitlyn, Dana or their wedding party from enjoying the day.
VanNhi and Pierre's wedding was a party from the start! The energy from the bridal party all the way through till dancing they kept us moving on our feet. They had their first look, ceremony and reception all at the Danversport Yacht Club. There were thunderstorms in the forecast but they held off long enough for them to have their touching ceremony outside overlooking the harbor. The way Pierre looked at VanNhi was inspiring, their love for one another is unconditional.
Breezy and Tim's wedding day couldn't have been more perfect! Not a cloud in the sky and a light breeze coming off the ocean. Breezy and Tim go to their cape beach house almost every weekend to get away from the city. As a child Breezy's grandmother used to take Breezy to the beach when she was a little girl, so it holds true sentimental value to her. The wedding took place at the Wychmere beach club right on the coast. During the ceremony, there was hardly a dry eye. You could tell Breezy and Tim were beyond excited they picked a venue that was to close to their hearts and got to spend the day with so many close friends and family.
Michelle and Jackie met at crew many years ago, which was where they developed a deep friendship and fell in love. Some of Jackie's favorite memories were spent on the dock in Edgartown on her family's estate. It was only natural that they would decided to get married there surrounded by their beloved family and friends. They began getting ready at separate houses and went to the Edgartown Lighthouse for their first look. They popped a bottle of champagne for a quick sip on the beach and then they went up to the top of the lighthouse for some quick photos overlooking the harbor.
Their wedding took place at the gorgeous Willowdale Estate is in the middle of a state forest. Kim's idea was to incorporate simplicity in their decorations to let nature shine through with a bohemian feel. Kim comes from a crafty family and always knew she wanted to plan the small details on her wedding day. Their entire day was filled with surrounding love from family and friends. Despite the light showers, it didn't put a damper on the day at all. Towards the end of day we got to sneak out for a beautiful sunset. What a relaxed and beautiful day to remember forever!
I met Jessica and Sal on a warm sunny afternoon at the Acton Arboretum. I had never been there before and was so surprised to find such a hidden paradise! Sal is originally from Acton so it was a spot he knew well. We took their sprightly dog, Mia, on a walk around the park. She was interested in everything besides the camera but that didn't matter as she had a great time being outdoors exploring. We continued around the winding paths, discovering the spring flowers and woods while the sun was setting perfectly, casting a golden glow. I can't wait to be a part of their wedding this fall at the Beauport in Gloucester!
Kiley and Sean had a dream wedding in Marblehead, one of the most picturesque towns in New England. They began getting ready with a pop of champagne and laughs all around. Sean saw Kiley for the first time in her dress as she was walking down the aisle and silently broke down with emotion. The smile as he looked at her was truly unforgettable. Their sweet ceremony ended with a kiss then a ribbon sendoff. They were driven by an antique Rolls Royce over to the dock, where they boarded a boat to bring them to the Corinthian Yacht Club.
I met Margaret and Colin on a picture perfect day in the Boston Common gardens. The sun was shining, the flowers were in bloom and we had the perfect afternoon to explore! We walked around the swan pond and then made our way over to the iconic Acorn street. After a few photos on the cobblestones, we headed over to the esplanade to catch the last part of the beautiful sunset over the water.
Sakshi & Suman first met in orientation week during their residency program and their quick friendship turned into a great relationship! Their parents were in town and they had planned a picnic that morning at a park stretching along the Niagara River - a secret retreat of theirs. Suman arranged it so that they would arrive ahead of their parents with breakfast. He then surprised Sakshi with a proposal and a ring, carefully stashed away in his pocket.
The wedding day began getting ready at a hotel with bubbles, both the alcoholic and the soapy kind. It continued as we made our way to the church, where we were greeted by a bagpiper in full Scottish garb. Their sweet ceremony included a gasp of joy from Joe as he saw her walk down the aisle along with a few happy tears from Emily. After the ceremony, we were off to Gibbet Hill!
