Katelyn & Evan Wedding – Granite Links Golf Club

Katelyn & Evan‘s wedding at the Granite Links Golf Club last summer was beautiful! Check out some of my favorites from their day…

Katelyn was gorgeous! I love that she embraced her curly locks instead of trying to tame them!! I think curly hair is beautiful, though I admit I’m a bit biased ;)

Time to get married!

This is always one of my favorite moments of the day! There’s just so much pure joy and excitement!!

This crowd really loved to dance… always a bonus for me!!!

Halfway through the reception, Katelyn came out in amazing dress number TWO! I think it was my favorite of the two, but they were both so awesome, it’s hard to say…

Fran & James’ Wedding – DeCordova Museum

If you thought Fran & James’ Engagement Session was fun, you’re going to LOVE their wedding!! They got married at the deCordova Museum & Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA – what a cool venue! I’d been dying to shoot there and it definitely lived up to my excitement. Check out my favorites from the day…

All shots of James and the dudes getting ready by my wonderfully talented second shooter, Allana Taranto.

First Look!

I love to shoot people’s feet! especially when they’re wearing argyle socks!!

Seemed like the perfect place for some wedding portraits :)

Haha!

The dudes

These guys were so fun to work with!

Probably my favorite shot of the day!!!! A little pre-ceremony soda to get ready – a woman after my own heart :)

very cool shot of the rabbi by Allana

Time to get married!

The sunlight coming through the trees, the moss aisle, the gorgeous chuppa… it was PERFECT!

His family is Jewish, her family is Russian Orthodox – their wedding was a beautiful combination of both traditions

In general, at every wedding, my favorite shots of the couple are usually when they’re coming down the aisle and that first moment alone after they’ve said “I do!” – it’s just unadulterated JOY!

very cool shot by Allana

After the ceremony, we went up to the roof for a few more portraits

Allana’s take on the moment

Haha!!!! Jumping for joy, right?!

Three of my favorites from the reception by Allana

Cake!

they did

Another of my favorite moments from the day… during the reception a slow David Gray song came on and I saw James wind his way through the crowded dance floor to find his bride and have a dance – it was so sweet I totally cried! I’m a sap, what can I say?

And just a couple last portraits inside the museum to end the night!

Fran & James – your wedding was AWESOME! Thank you so much for trusting me with capturing the memories!!! It was an absolute pleasure!

I’ll post about the details next :)

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!!

Photo below by my fabulous second shooter, Allana Taranto

Quite possibly my favorite First Look ever!

Photo below by my wonderful Assistant, CoCo Boardman

A few sunny portraits along the River

Another great shot by Allana

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

A shot from my widelux in black & white film

Then it was back to the Hyatt for the festivities!

My favorite shot of Claire and her father!

Widelux film shot of the ceremony

Their vows were so lovely, even I was crying at this point!

Allana’s view

They literally danced their way out!! Talk about excited :)

Loved this shot of Claire’s friend and her husband :)

Allana’s shots from the first dance, the Hora, and the toasts

LOVE this one Allana!!!!

Claire & Matan! Thank you so much for inviting me into this happy day in your lives, and for making all of the months of work leading up to and away from the day such a pleasure!!!

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!!

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!
