Alex and Steve [married] September 9th 2017

My busy September back to back weddings started off with Alex and Steve at the Willowbend Country Club in Mashpee,Ma. Willowbend Country Club is gorgeous. It has this beautiful rustic vibe with the winding paths through the trees and the awesome red barn out on the green. I would love to shoot here again. It was picture perfect.

Alex and her girls got ready in one of the villas onsite. Steve was actually getting right below them. It was so nice to have everyone close by so we could get all these great moments before they shared their first look. One of my favorite moments was when Steve sent down his gift for Alex to open. The look on Alex’s face when she saw they were getting a puppy was priceless! It’s pretty much all she talked about during our portrait session! I don’t blame her one bit.

We got all their pictures done before the ceremony so they could spend time with their guests and relax. When it came time to the reception there were some great dancing, great speeches and an appearance by a dragon. Leave it to Christine (MOH) for being so creative 😉

We had such a great time with all of you. Enjoy the photos!

Alanna and Chris [married] August 26th 2017

Alanna and Chris had a beautiful summer afternoon to get married. Alanna got ready at her home with her bridesmaids, mom and grandmother. It was nice to have some quiet moments before heading to the church to meet Chris at the altar. Diego was with the guys before we met at the church. I love all the candid moments he got.

Once they were hitched we headed to The Estate at Moraine Farm in Beverly. I was so excited to shoot here and it didn’t disappoint. The grounds of the estate are absolutely gorgeous. The tent was perfection with the florals and decor. We were lucky to have so much time to stroll the grounds with Alanna and Chris. The light coming through the trees was amazing.

When the reception was ready to go, Alanna changed into her cowgirl boots and started dancing the night away. I have to make note of the fact that one of Chris’s dreams of cooking for his wedding guests came true with his awesome soup that was served to guests. Thank you both for having us. We had the best time!

Sarah and Bill [married] July 29th 2017

Sarah and Bill had a beautiful and chic city wedding at The Exchange on Fish Pier in Boston. We met the girls quickly at Sarah’s sisters condo for some quick snaps over looking Boston. Despite a fire alarm starting our day off we knew that it was going to be fun day regardless.

Bill and the guys got ready at The Exchange. My second shooter Niki, got some great moments with the groomsmen before the ceremony. I really loved those navy suits. Sarah and her girls did all the last minute prep at The Exchange as well. Can we talk about how gorgeous Sarah’s dress was?! I loved that she let her girls choose different dresses. They looked stunning.

The ceremony looked out at the Boston Harbor and I couldn’t help but laugh at the ring bearer throwing me some serious shade.

The reception room was gorgeous. I loved that they hung string lights across the dance floor. It really added to the elegance of the space.

Sarah and Bill , thank you guys so much for having us! We loved seeing some familiar faces too 😉

Silvia and Patrick [married] July 28th 2017

I have always appreciated growing up in New England, specifically north of Boston. I’m so lucky to be able to capture the beauty of New England for my job. It is extremely rewarding. Silvia and Pat’s wedding was no exception. They had their special day at one of my most favorite venues: Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA. Not only was I so excited to be back at Willowdale, I was excited to witness my friend (Pat) from high school tie the knot. It was an all around emotional day for everyone. Silvia looked absolutely stunning in her dress. [check out that train] It was nice to see so many familiar faces while she got ready. Pat helped his son and best man, Connor, get ready. I loved those special moments Somer caught. Check out the extremely awesome wooden bowtie’s the groom and groomsmen rocked.

The ceremony was held in the beautiful courtyard in the back of the estate. Pat was very adamant about not doing a first look and the moment he saw his bride for the first time was well worth it. After the ceremony we were able to have tons of time to take pictures around the grounds and back in time for the party. Connor’s best man speech pretty much had the group in tears. It was such a sweet moment. The party, of course, didn’t disappoint. The band rocked the house.

Thank you to Silvia and Pat. I loved being able to be with you both on your day. Enjoy your sneak peak!

Kate and Chuck [married] July 15th 2017

Ever since my first meeting with Kate, I knew that her wedding was going to be beautiful, relaxing and all around a great time. It didn’t disappoint. Kate and Chuck got married in Westerly, RI at Kate’s parents home (Watch Hill Farms). Not only did Kate grow up here, but her parents also got married at the farm as well. There were so many special touches throughout the entire day. The reception flowers were hand picked from Kate’s Mom’s garden. The wedding favors was the farms’ locally made honey. The benches that were used at the ceremony were made from trees on the property. They are going to use some of the wooden benches to make a dining room table for Kate and Chuck. How awesome! The day started with clouds rolling in. However by the time it was time for Kate and Chuck to see each other for the first time, the sun came out and stayed out for the whole day. Kate looked stunning in her lace gown. Her girls wore navy and complimented her perfectly. I had lots of laughs with the girls while they got ready. Diego got to spend time with the guys. Needless to say they also had lots of laughs. I loved how Chuck stood out in his blue suit while the guys rocked their bow ties and suspenders.

One of my favorite parts of their wedding was when Chuck got up with his band and sang to Kate. Something she said he never does!

Everything was truly perfect for the both of them. I will let the images speak for themselves. Thank you guys so much for having us!

Claudia and Chris [married] May 6th 2017

When I found out that my friends Claudia and Chris were getting married at the newly re-done Lakeview Pavilion in Foxboro,MA; I knew I just had to shoot their wedding! I shot at Lakeview Pavilion in the past with my former boss and couldn’t wait to go back and see all the hard work they put into the new venue. It didn’t disappoint one bit! It’s absolutely gorgeous.

Claudia and Chris are absolutely perfect for each other. I am so fortunate to call them my friends. It was such a lovely day being surrounded by their family and friends (most I knew). Claudia got ready at Lakeview right before the ceremony. The weather teased us a bit all day. It was all worth it when the sun finally gave us a gorgeous sunset. The ballroom transformed from a beautiful ceremony space to an even more beautiful reception room. I loved the huge modern chandeliers all over.

Claudia looked absolutely amazing in her dress. I loved Chris’s huge smile as she walked down the aisle. It was one of my favorite moments.

Thank you so much for letting me capture your special day. I will let the images do all the talking!
