Ah, the birdcage veil ♥

More multitasking for me… I’m pretty good with bobby pins!

The girls. I love how they all had different bouquets!

Jane & Jason’s Spring Wedding – Cambridge MA

Jane & Jason‘s wedding was so lovely! It was a chilly Spring day, but the sun was shining and Jane & Jason couldn’t have been happier!

I met up with Jane at the salon where she was getting her hair & make-up done – and my jaw nearly dropped to the floor when they busted out this birdcage veil! LOVE it!!

Then we headed over to Highrock to finish getting ready. I sat in wait at the bottom of the stairs for Jane’s friend to walk by with the dress and loved how it turned out!

Getting ready in the Sunday School room :)

Once Jane & Jason were ready, we cleared out the sanctuary so they could have a private moment for their First Look. Well, you know, a private moment with me, my assistant CoCo, and my second shooter Jules ;) CoCo captured this shot of Jason waiting for his bride

and Jules caught Jane’s reaction to seeing him waiting for her. I love the look on her face!!

Seeing a couple praying together is always one of the most touching moments on a wedding day for me

After the First Look, we took a few portraits in the church. Highrock is so bright and full of sunlight – it worked out perfectly!

Trying to find new ways of entertaining myself when shooting bridal party portraits ;)

Then it was time for the ceremony! People often think that the First Look would ruin the moment of coming down the aisle, but look how excited they are!

Loving CoCo’s view from the balcony!!

Jason & his grandma are so cute!

The BEAUTIFUL bride!!

We took a few photos out by the Charles River on our way to our hotel, but man it was cold & windy! I liked watching Jason trying to keep her warm on the way back to the limo :)

So, we took a few more portraits inside the The Charles Hotel instead!

The Bridal Party

One last shot before the veil was removed…. sigh.

Haha! Jules caught this great moment of Jason & Jane busting into the reception – football style!

I was totally excited for their first dance because they’d warned me that they were going to do the scene from Glee when Quinn & Sam perform Lucky! They even recorded themselves singing and danced to their own song! It was totally adorable – and they are quite wonderful singers as it turns out.

And on the rarest of occasions, he dipped her at the end right in front of me! Half the time it feels like they dip facing the wrong way, but this was just perfect :)

After that, it was a super fun dance party all afternoon!

Jane & Jason – thanks so much for trusting us with your wedding memories! It was so fun to be a part of your day and to see how happy you two are! I hope it just gets better and better as the years go by :)

Mark & Serena’s Wedding

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to second shoot with another local photographer, and now dear friend, Erica Pelaccia. She and I are connected through a whole random slew of people and it was about time we finally met and got to hang out! I had such a great time shooting with her and getting to know her over the course of the day.

And as for Mark and Serena, they are just wonderful! You could just see in their faces, and in everyone’s faces, that these two are so in love with each other and so dearly loved by all who were there. Here are a few of my favorites…

Mark getting ready

Serena getting ready

During the portraits, since I was second shooting, I was able to hang back and shoot with my 80-200mm lens and just catch some of the details and moments that were going on. I love second shooting!

Isn’t she gorgeous?!

Serena and her uncle right before they walked down the aisle

The ceremony took place at Highrock, their church in Arlington.

I even shot a little panoramic film with my Widelux during the day, just for fun…

The part where they greeted their parents was one of the most emotional and beautiful parts of the day.

A few details from our portrait session with the two of them at their reception site – the Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary in Belmont.

And there’s Erica, working it in the bushes :)

A couple more shots of black & white film

The reception was really fun! I love this shot of Mark as they made their big entrance. I think it says it all.

And a sweet moment during their first dance.

Thank you, Erica for inviting me to come along for the day – it was so wonderful shooting with you and hanging out with you!

And thanks to Mark & Serena for letting me be part of your wedding! It was really great meeting you and being with you and your families on this joyful day!
