Ziva + Jonah — Spring Valley Country Club Wedding

Ziva and Jonah were married on a strangely warm November day, just as they had predicted. And just as WE predicted their day was filled with some wonderful emotional moments. Ziva and Jonah were both surrounded by a ton of friends and family who all seemed so incredibly honored to be a part of their special day. It was wonderful to witness, from the traditional and emotional bedekken and tisch ceremonies to the CRAZY dance party, it was such an amazing day! It was exactly their style: simple, heartfelt, classic, and emotional. Love them!

Krista and I started out with Ziva at her parents beautiful old house in Brookline.

Christine + Randy — The Barn at Gibbet Hill Wedding

Christine & Randy were married at a beautiful and quaint Acton Congregational Church, and later celebrated surrounded by so much family and loving friends at The Barn at Gibbet Hill in Groton, MA. It was the PERFECT Fall day, not too cold, fluffy white clouds in the sky, and those leaves! You’ll see that her details were so perfectly Fall as well, dark reds, oranges, and blues everywhere, and the cutest granny smith apple place cards!

Krista and I started with the girls while they got ready at Gibbet Hill, I ran around outside for some sunny details to set the scene.

Sarah + Dave — Renaissance Golf Club Wedding

Sarah & Dave’s wedding at the Renaissance Golf Club was threatened with rain all day, and with an outdoor ceremony they could have been freaking out! Sarah was so relaxed though, it was amazing! I mean she had two other dresses she could change into if it came to that… :) Luckily, the skies were dry and everything was just as they’d hoped. It was absolutely lovely – the ceremony was teary, I love a bride who isn’t afraid to cry! The dance floor was bumpin’, and the whole day was filled with the undying support and love of their family and friends, and super cute little kids :) Congratulations you two!

Christy + Doug — Ocean Edge Wedding

We spent the entire day with Christy and Doug at the beautiful Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster, MA. It was just starting to get cold, the sun was warm and rich but the shade was chilly. Brrrrr…it caught everyone by surprise! While the details were impeccable, the bride gorgeous, and the venue classic, we walked away with the wonderful and distinct feeling that this really was the joining together of two families who loved their children so very much. Just WAIT until you get to the reception, this was the BEST dance party of the Summer. The room was filled with so much love that even we, the photographers, felt like we were part of the family by the end of the night! Thank you both and your families for such a wonderful day!

Check back on Friday to see their beautiful preppy details!

Liz + Pete – State Room Wedding Details

Liz & Pete’s details were absolutely LOVELY. Stately, chic, classic, and fun. Exactly what every State Room wedding should be… and then they just forgot all about it and danced the night away surrounded by TONS of friends and family. Exactly what we love to see :)

Let’s start with Liz’s Lazaro dress! It was intricately detailed, and seemingly custom fit to her tiny figure, she was so happy and beautiful in her dress, she just couldn’t help twirling around and running her fingers through her veil.

State Room wedding

And of course everyone’s favorite shoes.

State Room Wedding Details

This comb held in her veil. Just the right amount of bling.

State Room Wedding Details

I grabbed her pastel and white flowers and ran around the Ames Hotel with them, all of their furniture is black white and gray, a photographer’s paradise!

The following shots are from Anne Ruthmann of Pete’s sharp suit and his groomsmen gifts.

The Lazaro bridesmaid dresses were incredible, the coolest dresses I’ve ever seen. They were draped so beautifully, were just sexy enough, and were so flattering on Liz’s girls!

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross was plain old breathtaking.

Liz + Pete — State Room Wedding

Liz & Pete were married at the State Room in downtown Boston. What a day! Krista and I hung out with the girls most of the morning and they were a complete riot, all of them having so much fun, and obviously just loving the time they got to spend together. The whole day proved to be just like that, a love fest, seriously. Liz & Pete have the most adoring and loving group of family and friends. It was the most wonderful atmosphere to be a part of. And WAIT til you see the dance party!

Ok so here we go, Krista and I started with Liz and her girls in their suite at The Ames Hotel, just a couple blocks from the State Room, its SO beautiful, a super fun space to shoot in with great light and really cool furniture! Here’s Liz reading a lovely note from Pete.

State Room wedding

Don’t you love those robes she gave the girls?!

I conveniently forgot to mention that even though I was taken out of the game with food poisoning halfway through the day, and Krista lost a flash (it tumbled to the floor) in the midst of the craziest dance party ever, Krista and I were incredibly grateful to have Anne Ruthmann along for the ride as well as the wonderful Cristen Farrell, who rescued and replaced me earlier in the night.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you Liz & Pete, you two are unbelievably wonderful. Seriously.

See the rest of you on Friday for their classy pastel and grey details!
