Rebecca + Kevin – A Harvard Art Museums Wedding

I met Rebecca over six years ago, when she was a bridesmaid in her sister, Elizabeth’s wedding.  I liked her right away because she was the youngest (just like me) and she seemed to be the most sentimental and definitely the most likely to cry of the three sisters (just like me).  I saw her a few times over the years as I continued to photograph their family out in Michigan, and here in Boston.  So, when I got her email telling me she’d gotten engaged, I was so thrilled she wanted me to shoot the wedding, but I was also really excited to see the family again, and to witness Rebecca marry the man she loves!!  There really is something special about working with the same family again and again over the years!  Take a look at my favorites from their beautiful wedding day…

Lori + Damian — Bermuda Destination Wedding — Welcome Dinner

Bermuda Destination Wedding and Cruise

When Lori called me to discuss photographing her destination wedding, I was all ears!  Then she told me that in order to do it all, I’d have to accompany them on their 7-day cruise from Boston to Bermuda, I was like YES PLEASE!!  Sign me up!  It was such a great opportunity to get to know Lori & Damian, and a lot of the friends & family since half of the wedding guests came on the cruise too.  What a fun way to get married!

Bermuda Destination Wedding and Cruise

On our first day in port in Bermuda, Lori & Damian had a Welcome Dinner at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo.  SO COOL!  Everyone got entrance to the Zoo as part of the dinner, and had the chance to walk around and check out the wildlife and the views before the party started.  The seals were my favorites!

 Bonnie & Steve’s wedding at the LaBelle Winery in New Hampshire, was SO fun!  It was sunny all morning and began threatening rain before the ceremony – but wouldn’t you know it, the rain held off until we finished family portraits outside!  And then it POURED!  That certainly didn’t stop the party going on inside… these guys enjoyed their reception to the fullest!!  Check out some of my favorites from their day…

B2115_D0564-Edit

If that picture doesn’t sum these two up then I don’t know what will… Ashley and Andrew had an absolute BLAST on their perfectly snowy wedding day in late February, feast your eyes on all their beautifully thought out DIY details!

Ashley’s dress and Kate Spade earrings suited her perfectly: feminine and soft, with just the right amount of sparkle.

B2115_D0009

She and her bridesmaids wore coordinating flannel pj’s as they got ready, they were so cute!

B2115_D0061-Edit

We all braved the at least 4 feet of snow to shoot some portraits at Fitch’s footbridge, on the way from the church to Gibbet Hill.

B2115_D0341-Edit

And man was it worth it!

B2115_D0372-Edit

B2115_D0378

Then the snow really started to fall…

CFB_7320-Edit

GET READY FOLKS. We started 2015 out with a bang and one of the most beautiful winter weddings EVER! Ashley and Andrew, troopers and classic New Englanders that they are, wanted to get married IN the snow, and boy did they get their wish! Not only did we get snow, we got that perfect movie snow that blanketed the ground, the bride’s eyelashes, and made everything feel so romantic and festive. Not to mention the fact that these two are SO MUCH FUN, between Ashley’s laugh and Andrew’s dance moves, there was just no way this day would be anything short of perfect.

I started out with the smiling bride as she got ready with her girls, all in matching flannel pj’s mind you.

B2115_D0026-Edit

B2115_D0059-Edit

Krista was my second shooter for the day (Dream Team!) She started out with Andrew and his boys, and these icicles, I can’t even look at them! Brrrrrrrrrr…

B2115_D0119

B2115_D0089-Edit

B2115_D0108-Edit

B2115_D0100-Edit

Meanwhile everything was starting to come together with the girls! Everyone tied up their dresses in a different way.

B2115_D0131-Edit

Ashley’s dress was lovely! I loved all the little details and sparkles, so feminine.

B2115_D0137

I mean… what a stunner.

B2115_D0170-Edit

Hahaha!

B2115_D0179-Edit

Time to get married! Krista waited at the front of the aisle for this, which I just LOVE.

B2115_D0238-Edit

B2115_D0280-Edit

Woohoo!

B2115_D0299-Edit

B2115_D0329-Edit

Then, these two absolute champions, actually strapped on their brand new matching LL Bean boots and forged out into 4 feet (at least!) of snow with us to take some gorgeous pictures near Fitch’s Footbridge. Krista caught this one.

B2115_D0366-Edit

EEEeeeeeee!!

B2115_D0356-Edit

B2115_D0373-Edit

Their bridal party was also impressed, Krista got this…LOVE.

B2115_D0367-Edit

I mean, who WOULDN’T need a beer after that?!
B2115_D0385-Edit

Meanwhile back at Gibbet Hill… it REALY started to snow!

B2115_D0430

So we took some time inside for their super fun bridal party, this one from Krista.
B2115_D0482-Edit
B2115_D0479-Edit

B2115_D0533-Edit

And of course we just HAD to take advantage of all that snow!

B2115_D0535-Edit

Could it be more pretty?! Not possible.

B2115_D0558-Edit
B2115_D0553-Edit

B2115_D0540-Edit

At twilight Krista grabbed this from outside the barn, SUCH a beautiful night!

B2115_D0668-Edit

The reception got started with their first dance.

B2115_D0693-Edit

And some AWESOME toasts.

B2115_D0794-Edit

B2115_D0838-Edit

Then it was dancing time!

B2115_D1111-Edit

Then Andrew, oh Andrew, showed us all what he was made of, with an amazing lip-synching to “It’s Raining Men.” I nearly died of laughter!!!

B2115_D1161-Edit
B2115_D1172-Edit

Just amazing.

B2115_D1162-Edit

B2115_D1031-Edit

B2115_D0957-Edit

That’s all she wrote folks! Can you see why I love these two so much?! Ashley and Andrew, THANK YOU for being so wonderful, trusting us with your memories and having the time of your lives on your wedding day. Check out more on Facebook y’all and stay tuned for their adorable diy details!

Ohhhhh these two. You may remember these adorable faces from their Providence, RI engagement session where I fell in LOVE with them. Lephan and Scotty are two of the most joyful people I’ve met, I’m so happy I was there to capture that joy on their wedding day, and let me tell you there was a LOT of it.  This day was a smashing end to our season, I think you’ll be able to see for yourselves why we love these two so much.

I started out with Lephan as she got ready, and had a really fun time getting into her dress. Just LOVE this :)

I mean, that color!

L2214_D0224-Edit

Then made our way through the city.

L2214_D0229-Edit
