Claire & Matan’s Wedding – Hyatt Regency Cambridge

I basically didn’t blog most of my weddings from last year… but there are some that I just HAVE to share! It may take me a while, but I’m going to try to post a few of last year’s weddings, along with this year’s weddings. We’ll see how it goes! For now, allow me to introduce you to Claire & Matan…

Claire & Matan are just beautiful people. They’re gorgeous, clearly, but they’re also really beautiful people from the inside out, where it really counts. They’re lives are committed to helping people – him by working in foreign policy and her working in humanitarian aid. They’ve travelled the world putting their education and skills to work to make other people’s lives better, and I think that’s pretty awesome! It’s been so lovely working with them and getting to know them over the course of the last two years as they planned their wedding, shot their engagement session and the big day, and now we’ve designed their wedding album. But being at their wedding and hearing their friends and family speak of them, that’s when you really see how wonderful, and how loved they really are. I’m so so glad I have been able to be a part of their celebration and the beginning of their life together!

We shot their engagement session on rainy summer day in Rockport, but they absolutely made it work!

Their wedding at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge was the exact opposite – HOT and SUNNY! But once again, they made it work and everything turned out great!!

Quite possibly my favorite First Look ever!

Allana had the brilliant idea of putting them in this tree, and I LOVE how it turned out!!

L & A’s Camden, Maine Wedding Details

A few of my favorite details from this gorgeous wedding earlier this summer…

Loved this chair – it was perfect for shooting some details!

I tied this bow myself! And yes, it came undone as she walked down the aisle. Let this be a lesson to all of you brides: make sure there is someone else there, besides your photographer, to help you get dressed! haha!

Dinner was at this wonderful restaurant called Primo. They grow their own vegetables and everything is local, and the food is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! I don’t normally like fancy food, but this was SO GOOD! YUMMMM!!

Zoe’s Bat Mitzvah Portraits – Larz Anderson Park, Brookline

Last Fall, I had the opportunity to photograph Zoe’s Bat Mitzvah. The event was so fun, and we even shot some portraits the day before – but the weather that weekend was gross and we just didn’t get the bright sunny portraits we were hoping for. So, we picked a nice Spring day and tried again! This time we got sunshine…. cold winds, but sunshine! It’s hard to get the weather quite right in New England in the Spring ;) But I love how these turned out!

The adorable Zoe

Sisters… Annika, Zoe & Sivan

The whole fam

Jody, Paul, Zoe, Annika & Sivan – thanks for braving the cold and making the session for fun! I hope you all love the photos!

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 :)

Faith & Ryan’s Wedding – Bedford MA

My friends Faith & Ryan got married this winter, and I was so happy to capture the day! It’s always fun to be behind the scenes with a bride on her wedding day, but when it’s an old friend, it’s even better!

We started the day with Faith while she was getting ready in her suite at the Bedford Doubletree Hotel. Faith looked so beautiful!! I love this shot, the shape of her arms, and the light through her veil. so pretty!

The First Look – one of my favorite parts of the day!

It’s always a great opportunity to get some portraits taken before everything gets crazy

Then we headed to the Vineyard Cambridge to get ready for the ceremony!

Faith & her Dad

Always love a ceremony that involves some laughter!

SO excited!!

Loved this shot my assistant CoCo captured!

then it was back to the Doubletree for the reception! I loved the look on Faith’s face during their first dance :)

a great toast is always a good thing!

And so is a LOT of dancing!

Faith & Ryan – thank you again for inviting me to capture your wedding!! I love you guys and am so very happy for you both! xoxo

Lieschen & Stephen’s Winter Wedding – Beacon Hill

I’ve known Lieschen for a few years now. She is both friend and chiropractor – invaluable on so many levels! I was excited for her last year when she met Stephen and fell in love – and was doubly excited when she called recently to ask me to shoot their wedding just a few weeks later!

The day started at the Liberty Hotel down in Boston. This painting made such a cool backdrop for her dress!

Lieschen & her Mom

yeah, she’s pretty gorgeous

Lieschen’s little nieces were there while she was getting ready – total entertainment for everyone!

FAVORITE!

After she was ready, Stephen came to the suite for the First Look

Everyone had a toast to celebrate

the handsome groom

Then it was down to the courtyard for some portraits. We lucked out and had a really lovely day to go outside! Though, snuggling did make it even warmer :)

Lieschen & Stephen

The wedding was shortly after the holidays, and The Liberty Hotel still had Christmas trees hanging from the ceiling. It was the coolest way I’d ever seen a hotel decorate for the holidays!

Then we headed down Charles Street to The Hungry I for their intimate ceremony & reception

Surrounded by their immediate families, the got married in front of the fire place in a candle-lit ceremony

It was perhaps both the darkest and the smallest ceremony I’ve ever photographed! It was lovely though!!

After the ceremony, everyone headed upstairs for a nice dinner, some toasts, and lots of laughter!

One of the nieces was a little bored at that point, and kept wanting me to play with her… so, you know, I HAD to ;)

The other niece seemed to be having a good time ;)

mmmm, meringue cake!

rings in roses

Love this shot of Lieschen & Stephen chatting with his uncle!

And just for fun, I had to get one with the bride!

Lieschen & Stephen – thanks again for allowing me to be part of your wedding! I’m excited for you, and for all the lies ahead! ;)

Amy & Lawrence’s Wedding Details

Amy & Lawrence‘s wedding was so lovely! I wanted to share a few of my favorite details with you…

The Bride’s bouquet (how much do I love this purple chair at the hotel?!)

Photo by Anne Ruthmann

I love the detailing on Amy’s dress!

The Reception (last 3 photos by Anne Ruthmann)

The Cake! The Cake Topper was the very same one that Amy’s parents had on their cake when they got married. I’m so sentimental, I love little things like that :)
