Rachael and Dylan Tupper Manor Beverly, MA

Rachael and Dylan rounded out a gorgeous double header weekend. Just like the day before, the weather was absolutely picture perfect.

We got to spend the day at Tupper Manor in Beverly. This place has it all: gorgeous grounds, steps away from the beach and a stunning interior. I look forward to coming back to this venue any time.

Rachael and I clicked instantly when we first met. She is so fun and just a great person to be around. I knew Dylan would be just as fun when we met at their engagement session. I was not wrong. They are such a great couple and I knew their wedding would be everything and more. It didn’t dissapoint.

Rachael and Dylan had a beautiful ceremony out on the front lawn. There were special moments including her sister singing and a hand-fasting ceremony. I just loved the way Dylan couldn’t stop smiling at Rachael.

We got to sneak down to the beach for some portraits at golden hour. It is always nice to take a moment to breathe it all in. Enjoy every second. Once we got back inside, the party got started. Wish we could back and do it all over again!

Catherine and Brian Renaissance [Haverhill Ma]

Catherine and Brian were the start to an amazing double header weekend. I got to shoot at two of my favorite wedding venues.

Brian and Catherine both got ready super local to me in Melrose. It was such a relaxing day for everyone. I absolutely loved Catherine’s dress with that floral detail in the back. She looked stunning.

We headed to the ceremony held at a local church. I loved the sweet reactions of Catherine and Brian seeing each other when she was coming down the aisle. Always one of my favorite moments to capture. After church we made our way up to the beautiful Renaissance Golf Club in Haverhill, Ma. The the light was absolutely perfection as we roamed the grounds. We really couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Cassie and Phil’s wedding at The Elks at Bass Rocks Gloucester, MA

The beginning of September started with the outskirts of Hurricane Dorian making its way up the east coast. Cassie and Phil’s wedding was held at the Elks at Bass Rocks in Gloucester, MA. Driving up to their venue I knew we were going to be in for an epic day thanks to Hurricane Dorian’s gigantic waves hitting off the coast. We were so lucky that the weather was perfect and the waves crashing just made it spectacular.

This wedding is the second to last of a family that I have been photographing for years so walking into the day was a party from the moment we started.

Cassie looked absolutely stunning. Phil was so excited to see her for their first look. I loved that they had their dogs involved in the ceremony. We snuck away after the ceremony for a few more photos showcasing the awesome waves and then came back to party the night away. It was such a great way to start September.

Miriam and Ben Camp Caribou, Winslow Maine

Miriam and Ben ended my August with a trip up to Camp Caribou in Winslow Maine. They had this super chill wedding weekend that was so much fun for their family and friends. Weddings at summer camps are such a great way to extend your wedding into a long weekend of fun.

I loved that they got ready in the cabins after a relaxing day of water sports and lawn games. They made sure their dog Moose was part of the day via their socks. Miriam and Ben had a awesome first look down by the lake before making their way to their colorful ceremony. I loved how they had their family and friends involved. It really made it extra special.

Once the ceremony concluded they got to spend the evening dancing away in the camp’s mess hall.

Krista and Zach The Margate, Laconia NH

It has been a minute since I have blogged. The end of this season was crazy busy and blogging just got away from me. I’m so excited to share these weddings that wrapped up my 2019 season.

Back in August we were up at the Margate Resort in Laconia NH for Krista and Zach’s wedding. It was an incredibly gorgeous day to be up in the mountains. I have known Zach for a long time since I’m close friends with his sister Blakely. I really do love having so many weddings where I know the family. It always leads to a fun day.

Krista and Zach were surrounded by family, friends and motorcycles. To cap off their day we were treated to an awesome fireworks display. Thank you both for letting me share in your special day. It was a blast.

Alanna and Andrew [Partying with the Penguins]

We were back at the New England Aquarium for Alanna and Andrew’s July 6th wedding. Alanna and Andrew are such a great couple. They are so much fun and down for anything. We were so lucky to be able to do their first look and all formal photos before the threatening thunderstorm rolled into Boston. And since the storm rolled in it meant that their planned outdoor ceremony would now take place inside in front of the penguins. It was quite fitting when they were saying their vows that some of the penguins made sure to pipe in. The aquarium is such a fun and unique space for a wedding. Rain or shine. there are some great photo opportunities.

After we took some fun photos in the aquarium we headed out to the tent for the reception. The party got underway and did not disappoint! I loved all of the little details that were scattered through the wedding. Alanna and Andrew wanted their family and friends to have a blast and they absolutely did.

Thank you so much to Alanna and Andrew. It was such a special day.
