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!

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!

A few portraits with the fishies before dinner… love these!

Lori + Jim — Cape Cod Rehearsal Dinner

Oh, I’m so excited to share this weekend of wedding excitement with you! Let’s kick things off with Lori & Jim’s clam bake rehearsal dinner at Lori’s parents’ house!

Best thing about having the party at home was that Kayla could come!! She had an awesome time wondering around, getting her belly rubbed by pretty much everyone, splashing in the creek, and begging at tables :) She looks so innocent here though!

Our handsome groom-to-be

And our beautiful bride-to-be

Haha, I have SO been this bridesmaid!! It’s hard to put the camera down sometimes when things are just so dang beautiful!

Gatsby inspired Cape Cod Wedding (Chatham, MA)

Ew!!!! Oh, I mean, yum… yeah that’s it ;)

Big shout out to Stacie Shea Events for pulling everything together so beautifully and making it all run so smoothly!

There were a few spontaneous toasts that left everyone laughing, and left me kinda wishing I’d known Jim in college :)

So lovely!

One last portrait to end the evening! Gotta rest up, there’s a big wedding tomorrow!!

I love getting to be a part of the rehearsal dinner, and the whole weekend of celebrations. It’s such a great opportunity to meet all of your favorite people in the world and get everybody comfortable with being photographed by me. So on the wedding day, not only are you totally comfortable and confident, but so are all your family and closest friends! It’s so great!!!

Come back on Friday to see more for Lori & Jim’s FABULOUS wedding! But if you can’t bear to wait, head on over to Facebook to check out all of my favorites from the weekend!

Sara & Steve – Rehearsal Dinner

Like many of my couples this year, Sara & Steve don’t live in the Boston area. They live out in California, and we weren’t actually able to meet until the night before their wedding. I “require” all of my couples to have an engagement shoot before the wedding so we can spend some time getting to know each other in front of the camera – it just makes it SO much easier to get great portraits on the wedding day. Since we didn’t get a chance to meet earlier, we captured some portraits before their Rehearsal Dinner. I met up with them at their hotel in Portsmouth and we went for a walk…

Steve does NOT like to have his photo taken. He said that he didn’t think I could get a good photo of him – that I couldn’t get a natural smile from him. Haha! Don’t test me, people! ;)

After our portrait session, we drove up to Sara’s parents’ place on Gerrish Island for the Rehearsal Dinner. Driving down their street, I spotted this little guy out my window.

Steve’s Dad was walking along the shore behind the house, looking for rocks. Totally endearing :)

And some of the boys were throwing rocks. I loved how synchronized they were!

Steve & Sara spent the rest of the evening laughing and enjoying a some time with their friends and family. It was a fun and very relaxed party!

Stay tuned for the photos from their gorgeous (and soaking wet) wedding!
