Cambridge, MA Wedding at Technology Square and Area Four Restaurant {Vanessa and Edin}

My favorite thing about photographing weddings is that each one is completely unique. Well, okay fine, my favorite thing is actually that I get to meet and work with so many incredible people and step into their lives for this amazing time - but that really leads into the first part because each wedding is custom crafted by the couple. For Edin and Vanessa, I was actually only with them for one hour on their wedding day but as you'll see from the photographs below, that was the perfect amount of time to come in and capture some insanely gorgeous portraits of this amazing couple and their family and friends. Vanessa and Edin must have had a karma on their side because this December wedding day was unseasonably warm. These two were naturals, completely romantic and adorable. I loved their blush and grey pallet complete with a gorgeous Winston Flowers bouquet and how Edin made Vanessa laugh when the wind blew her hair all about.

As you scroll down you may recognize two familiar faces, Gabrielle and Cesar, from their winter wedding in South Boston earlier in the year. Cesar is Edin's cousin and Gabby was the one who put me in contact to photograph Edin and Vanessa's big day. Don't you just love when things come full circle? I love working with this incredibly sweet family so I hope to photograph many more weddings in the future! Enjoy!

Canton, MA Wedding at Blue Hills Country Club {Jessica + Richard}

I first met Jessica at a yoga class I photographed at Universal Power Yoga and I was thrilled when she contacted me with the news that she was engaged to Richard. I met the two of them for a consult and had such a great time learning all about them, how they fell in love and all of the details of their Blue Hill Country Club wedding. Their engagement session was romantic and fun by the boats at the Milton Yacht Club and Jessica's engagement ring glimmered like crazy set on some natural lavender we found growing by the water. {It was the best smelling wedding ring shot I've ever taken.}

There was a slight drizzle on their wedding day that kept us inside. The overcast skies cast such a gorgeous light that I found myself pulled to the windows for many photographs to take advantage of the romantic lighting that the day provided. After getting ready, Jessica and Richard had cards delivered to each other and I couldn't help but get covered in goosebumps as they read their cards aloud. Their ceremony was filled with love and support; my favorite part was when the pastor asked all members of their congregation to come forward for a group blessing, each placing a hand on the bride or groom. The love was palpable.

The rest of the wedding day went off without a hitch. The reception room was stunning with everything a deep purple palate from the chair bows to the floral centerpieces and cake topper. I loved seeing guests sign the engagement session guest book that we designed together. By the end of the night it was so full of written blessings that there was barely any white space left at all. It's clear these two have a lot of people who love them dearly.

Cambridge, MA Wedding at the Cambridge Boat Club {Angie + Joel}

I am thrilled to bring to you Angie and Joel's Cambridge Boat Club wedding from last November. I first met Angie while photographing my other love, yoga. Angie was part of Chanel Luck's teacher training group at Radiant Yoga Boston and I was hired to photograph mini sessions for each of the teacher trainees to help them get started in the industry. So while I only worked with Angie for about 10 minutes, I knew instantly that she was a kind soul and beautiful person. Flash forward to last year when she and Joel got engaged and reached out to me about their wedding. I fell in love with both of them during their consult because they were just so sweet and so adorably in love. They picked the Boston Shipyard and Marina for their Boston Engagement Session last summer because Angie had previously lived in the area and it was very meaningful to them. The backdrop was stunning and the two of them were a ton of fun. Come November and their wedding day, the temperature was freezing but the day was beautiful and the two of them and their families all braved the cold for portraits on the dock. Their first look was held under a romantic weeping willow tree to the side of the boat house and their ceremony inside was intimate with their family and friends seated and standing in a circle around the couple. Angie and Joel opened the floor during speeches and hilarity ensued. It was a beautiful, teary-eyed, fun loving day and I can't wait to share it with you. Enjoy.

Cape Cod Wedding on Seagull Beach in West Yarmouth, MA {Melissa + Paul}

In the midst of February, it is such a pleasure to bring you this gorgeous Cape Cod wedding, held on the beach in West Yarmouth, MA. It was actually almost a year ago that I met with Melissa and Paul for their Fenway Park Engagement Session. It was windy and cold but these two were such troopers and I think all of their patience with the Boston blizzard scene and cold weather blessed them with an absolutely gorgeous wedding day in return. When I arrived in the morning, Melissa and her bridesmaids were having a blast getting ready. I absolutely love when I arrive at a wedding and can instantly feel so much love and support and that's exactly what the entire day was like with these two. Melissa planned out gorgeous DIY details from the ceremony sign to the table settings and absolutely everything was purple. After her stunning rose bouquet, my favorite accessories were her purple converse kicks. {And the groom's matching pair, too.} Their ceremony was intimate and completely serene against the ocean backdrop with close friends, family, and the seagulls to witness their vows.

Now, close your eyes, take a deep breath in and a long breath out. Open your eyes and allow yourself to be at the beach. {Hey, why not try?}
