Ohhhhh these two. You may remember these adorable faces from their Providence, RI engagement session where I fell in LOVE with them. Lephan and Scotty are two of the most joyful people I’ve met, I’m so happy I was there to capture that joy on their wedding day, and let me tell you there was a LOT of it.  This day was a smashing end to our season, I think you’ll be able to see for yourselves why we love these two so much.

I started out with Lephan as she got ready, and had a really fun time getting into her dress. Just LOVE this :)

My very good friend Deborah Zoe started out with Scotty, once he actually found his bowtie that is…. hehe.

We then walked down the street to grab some portraits near the Paramount Theatre.

L2214_D0206-Edit

I mean, that color!

L2214_D0224-Edit

Then made our way through the city.

L2214_D0229-Edit

Lephan, I know this wall was freezing, but it was worth it right?!

The whole bridal party met up with us under the Chinatown gate.

L2214_D0248-Edit

L2214_D0313-Edit

Thennnn Lephan put on her neon coat, and we needed documentation of it, obviously.

L2214_D0331-Edit

Time to hide away for the ceremony, in a coat closet… hehe.

L2214_D0360-Edit

L2214_D0382-Edit

L2214_D0395-Edit

Afterwards they held a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, love this of grandma!

L2214_D0477-Edit

Lephan changed into dress #3 and then the Bride & Groom got to show off their dance moves!

L2214_D0634-Edit

They walked around and toasted each table, it was such a fun part of the night!

L2214_D0672-Edit

Justin & Gretchen’s Wedding!

Just before the holidays, I posted a little sneak peak of Justin & Gretchen’s Wedding. Well, I’ve gone through the 5,000 + images we shot on the day of the wedding and have finally finished editing my favorites! There were so many images I loved, it was hard to narrow it down :)

We started the day at the Hyatt Harborside Hotel. This was the view from Gretchen’s window…


The dress was breathtaking and had so much fabulous detail!


A little detail of the shoes


Gretchen was SO excited!!


I loved the look on her Mom and soon-to-be sister-in-law’s faces when Gretchen was finished with hair and makeup


Getting into the dress, with a little help


Gretchen, you’re so beautiful!!


Time to get married!


I love the look on Justin’s face when he sees Gretchen for the first time! Many thanks to my fabulous second shooter, James from The Feds for getting this shot!


Some of their friends sang during the ceremony, and just about everyone was crying


another great shot by James



vows


After the ceremony we headed outside for some portraits by the Harbor




again with the gorgeousness!


Gotta love the aviators!


After the portraits, we headed over the Chinatown for the reception! I caught this shot on my way into the restaurant…


The Tea Ceremony



It turns out my favorite image of the first dance was taken by James. He caught a guest’s flash in the background and it totally made the shot! I totally love it!


Gretchen’s Dad looks so happy!


Chinese weddings have this fun tradition where the bride & groom, the entire bridal party, and all the family go around to every table and toast each guest. It’s so chaotic and wonderful!




They finished up the night with karaoke and dancing! That’s my kind of party :)


Gretchen & Justin – thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your day! It has been so wonderful getting to know you guys over the last year and a half. I cannot wait to photograph the first year of your new baby’s life!!!!! (yep folks, these two are expecting a honeymoon baby ;) Congratulations once again!!
