Jackie and Graham wanted their wedding to be elegant but most importantly, fun and exciting for their guests. They accomplished this in spades as everyone was in awe of the grandeur of the Boston Public Library. They began getting ready in the Westin Copley, surrounded by their families and friends. They then walked over to the Boston Public Library for their intimate first look on the grand staircase. Graham was at the top of the staircase, eagerly anticipating Jackie ascent to have their moment together. They then took everyone into the courtyard for some photos.
There's something profoundly special about capturing the wedding of dear friends. When Bojan, a friend of nearly a decade, asked us to photograph his wedding with the stunning Laura, we didn't hesitate for a moment. It doesn't hurt at all that Laura is a professional model and the connection they share has been truly special since day one. We began getting ready at Laura's family home in Southhampton. Laura and Bojan opted out of the traditional route and chose to get ready together in the same house.
Andrew and Olivia’s wedding at Shining Tides was a heartfelt celebration of their journey together. Their story began at Saint Michael’s College in Vermont, a small campus where their paths nearly crossed many times but never quite met. Andrew, a year ahead of Olivia, shared mutual friends and even attended the same parties, but it wasn’t until Olivia’s senior year that they finally connected.
M&B’s wedding at the stunning Boston Harbor Hotel was truly a standout event that was beautifully elegant. They chose the Boston Harbor Hotel as the backdrop for their big day, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The day started with the couple getting ready at the hotel. One of the most memorable parts of the day was the first look by the harbor. We then strolled along the harbor walk, capturing intimate moments against the picturesque views. A short journey over Fort Point Channel led us to the classic cobblestoned walk, where we captured some of my favorite photos of the day with the Boston Harbor Hotel gracing the background.
Sara and Russell’s wedding at The Tower: A Longwood Venue in February was the perfect blend of crisp winter vibes and a stunning urban backdrop. With bright, sunny skies and a chill in the air, it was a picturesque setting for this nurse and firefighter.
Lee & Cam aimed to make an unforgettable experience for their guests for their stunning Newport wedding. Lee envisioned countless little details to make everyone feel welcome and delighted. While Mother Nature had her own plans (it poured buckets almost the entire day!) it all ended up coming together in the end with the help of Paula of Marrero Events, who pieced together the complex logistics. Lee began getting ready at the cottages at Castle Hill Inn in Newport.
Did I mention how much we love winter weddings?! There’s something undeniably magical about a snowy celebration, and A&P’s wedding at the Boston Public Library was no exception. The BPL is a dream venue in any season, but for a winter wedding, it offers the perfect mix of grandeur and warmth—no matter the weather.
Leading up to the day, the forecast called for freezing temperatures and overcast skies. But fate had other plans, and instead, we were gifted with a delicate snowfall that turned Boston into a winter wonderland. A&P, absolute troopers, braved the cold for some breathtaking outdoor portraits, with Ashley from Baciare as the real MVP, making sure the bride’s dress stayed pristine despite the slush.
Inside the library, the celebration unfolded in the most elegant way. Their ceremony and reception were nothing short of picture-perfect, with stunning décor, heartfelt moments, and a cozy yet sophisticated ambiance. From the vows to the dance floor, every detail reflected the couple’s love and joy.
Congratulations to A&P! Your winter wedding was pure magic, and it was an honor to capture every beautiful moment.

W&S wanted a gorgeous upscale wedding at the modern Lakeview Pavilion in November. W’s request was for everything to be light. bright and fun, which is exactly what Linda of Lemon Drop Team planned. Lakeview Pavilion was the perfect place to make her dreams come to reality. W got ready inside the bridal suite and then we went outside on the deck to photograph her and her bridesmaids. It was a mild weather year so despite it being mid-November, the beautiful orange and red foliage was still on the trees.
Madison and Omar’s perfect day began on a warm August day at the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester, overlooking the water. Madison was getting ready with her mom, sister, and all her bridesmaids in the bridal suite. Her makeup was flawless and she was radiating joyful energy the entire day. Meanwhile, Omar arrived at the hotel right before the first look and put the finishing touches on his perfectly tailored suit before their first look. When they saw each other for the first time, they began crying tears of joy. They were high school sweethearts and this moment was a long time coming! We began taking photos out on the deck with the brilliantly blue water sparkling in the background.
Helen is the younger sister of one of our previous clients from years ago. When she first reached out, we couldn’t have been more excited to work with her! Reuniting with her family was a blast, and meeting Mike's crew was the icing on the cake. Everyone got ready at the Intercontinental, with their huge rooms overlooking Boston Harbor. What began as a drizzly October day eventually became a beautiful afternoon.
Anna & Brett’s wedding day started off like most of our weddings in 2023 - rainy and gray. Thankfully, before the first look, the rain stopped but that wasn’t the end of the waterworks. Brett was tearing up even before seeing Anna in eager anticipation of seeing her in her dress. He expressed to us that he was most looking forward to marrying Anna. His love for her was all-encompassing and they had a beautiful moment together of laughter and tears. We then walked around the gorgeous gardens of Elm Bank, taking in the vibrant seasonal flowers and ivy. The wedding party and family joined soon after and we took portraits in the Italianate Garden, next to the hydrangeas which were sporting a perfectly fall muted pink color.
Claire and Thomas’ elegant wedding at the State Room in Boston was a beautiful testament to their love story. The day began at the exquisite Langham Hotel in Boston. The couple couldn't have chosen a more fitting place to start their wedding day than at the recently updated and opulently decorated Langham Hotel.
Alli & Colby wanted a picturesque beach wedding at a venue that was special to them. Colby grew up going to the beach at the Dunes Club and they often enjoyed summers together by the pool. I also have been going to the Dunes Club my entire life, so it’s a very sentimental place for me as well, and was so fun to be able to capture a wedding there! Alli got ready inside the clubhouse while Colby got ready at a nearby bed and breakfast. There was a thick fog over the water that ended up slowly dissipating as the day wore on. They came together for their first look in the garden. There, they read their own vows to each other. Afterwards, we took a walk around the club grounds from the bathhouses to the cabanas to the front lawn for some photos. Then it was time to tuck away for the ceremony.
Victoria & Christian’s wedding came together with classic and sophisticated designs mixed with the joy and fun of their energetic family and friends. They got ready at The Graduate Hotel in Providence (formally the Biltmore). The couple met at Providence College, so it only made sense that they would celebrate their wedding day in the place where their story began. They even chose to have their ceremony at the storied Saint Dominic’s Chapel on the campus of Providence College. After the heartfelt Catholic mass, they kissed and ran out the door and began cheering and celebrating - just the two of them before all their guests exited the Church. It’s such a wonderful thing to see a couple who are truly overjoyed about being officially married.
Julia and Sean will be getting married at the Boston Harbor Hotel in Boston’s seaport next August so clearly the ocean plays an important role in their lives. They chose to have their engagement session on the Cape since Sean's grandfather has a beautiful home there by the water and it's where they enjoy to spend their summer weekends.
Cara and PJ wanted their wedding to be a getaway experience for their guests at a place that felt rustic and adventurous, yet still luxurious. PJ loves the mountains so when they visited Mountain Top in Vermont and saw the beautiful vistas surrounding the property, they knew it was a perfect match. Nestled amidst the scenic beauty of Vermont, Mountain Top offered everything they desired: charming cabins, a rejuvenating spa, horseback riding adventures, a secluded lakeside beach, and exquisite dining options.
S&M had an incredible wedding weekend with everything taking place in Lincoln Massachusetts, the location of their home. S&M got ready at their beautiful home, surrounded by their two families, their sweet baby, two well-behaved dogs, and their lounging cat. S put on her gorgeous dress, which was the perfect design for a garden wedding with intricate floral work. They opted to not have a very traditional day, so they got ready together and then headed over to the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, a short 5-minute drive away.
This couple wanted something seemingly paradoxical. They wanted a wedding that didn’t feel like a wedding and they wanted everything to be casual but also black tie-formal. Rather than conforming to the usual formalities, E and C decided that their focus would be on candid moments, their close-knit family, their cherished friends, gourmet food, and the utmost fun. Their intention was clear: they wanted to create an atmosphere that exuded warmth and intimacy.
C&K’s wedding at the elegant Newbury Hotel was a true celebration of love, marked by the unique choices they made to create a memorable and heartfelt experience. Bucking tradition, the couple decided to embark on their wedding journey together, opting to get ready side by side. This decision set the tone for the day, allowing them to share intimate moments right from the outset. From the morning preparations to the evening festivities, C&K demonstrated their deep connection and commitment. The anticipation and excitement were palpable as they helped each other with final touches.
Marina and Steve's wedding day was truly something special. From getting ready at the Coach House in Salem to their beautiful ceremony and fun reception at the Peabody Essex Museum, the whole day was filled with love and excitement. Their day started at the Coach House, which fit their white, gold and black aesthetic perfectly. The rooms were elegant and set the scene for a great day ahead.
