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!  ;)
