Katie + Mark — Flying Bridge Wedding

Flying Bridge wedding Falmouth, MA

Katie and Mark were married in Falmouth, MA on a gorgeous sunny day. Not only was the day planned perfectly, but these two could not have been more wonderful to work with. They are both so cool and calm (not to mention beautiful). They are naturals in front of the camera, totally down to earth, and plain and simple our favorite kind of people to work with!

Krista and I met up with Katie and her girls as they got ready in her hotel suite, is this girl not stunning??

This room was probably the hottest most humid place I’ve been, well other than Mexico, but that’s it. It was INSANE.

But you can’t tell, these guys were tearin’ it up!

Britt & Mike’s Cape Cod Wedding – Chatham, MA

I am so excited to share the rest of Britt & Mike’s wedding with you! I’ve been excited for this one since the first time I met Britt & Mike last summer. I’ve really had a chance to get to know them over the last year or so as we’ve done two engagement sessions. It is fun to get to know a couple during shoots and meetings and phone calls, but then to meet their friends and family and see them through that lens is doubly wonderful. These two people are dearly loved! The whole crowd was warm and genuine, and certainly fun! It was a truly wonderful day…Britt & the girls got ready at the house where the reception would later be held.

I love this emotional shot Elizabeth captured of Britt’s parents watching her get ready!

Britt’s dress was AH-mazing! I literally gasped when she pulled it out of the closet. Not the most professional moment of the day. But it was gorgeous – the color, the material, the cut were all perfect!

Cape Cod Wedding

Britt’s reaction to seeing herself in her dress brought us all to tears! I think that can be one of the most overwhelming moments for a bride – when it really sinks in that she’s getting married today.

Meanwhile, down the road, James Federico of The Feds Studio was helping me out by photographing Mike and the guys getting ready. I always laugh because there’s really nothing much to guys getting ready. Just tie their tie and hit the road!

Once everyone was ready, we headed down to the beach for the ceremony. After all the rain we’d been having, we were blessed with a beautiful sunny day! :)

James captured this image of Britt’s parents and grandmother laughing – love it.

Happy tears!

A few minutes alone with Britt & Mike at the beach…

Elizabeth caught this shot of me during the portraits. In case you want to know what you should expect on your wedding day… You should expect me, hiding in the grass, or laying on the ground, and basically doing whatever I can to get a cool shot and to make sure I can’t wear really nice pants… ;)

Then we headed back to the house and grabbed some group shots and a few more portraits of the happy couple. I had to jump off the dock and onto the muddy shore to capture the next two, but it was worth it.

After portraits it was time for the fun to begin! The evening started with some wonderful toasts. First up, Britt’s Dad…

Britt & Mike – thank you so much for having me there to document your day!! Your wedding was so much fun, and I felt so welcomed in, like one of your guests. Heck, your cousin Kerry practically inducted me into the family ;) I hope you love the photos!!! I can’t wait to get going on your album….

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!!
