Susan & Corey • Private Estate, Martha’s Vineyard, MA

This wedding will always have a very special place in my heart. Not only is the bride friends with some very good friends of ours but they also held their wedding on Martha’s Vineyard, where I’ve been dying to shoot! :o) Their entire wedding was just SO perfect, from start to finish! Beautiful weather, not too hot, and definitely not cold, Susan made everything look just beautiful – in fact if I were to do my wedding over again, this is exactly how I’d want it (well, assuming I’d have a cool aunt that’d chop down trees for my wedding tent, haha). They got married at one of the most beautiful, bright churches I’ve ever seen …. and held their cocktail hour  & reception at Corey’s aunt’s house which was located directly by the sea. I mean, doesn’t get much better, right?! Beautiful views and tasty sea food! YUM! Talk abotu spoiling your wedding guests!

Thank you guys SO much for letting us capture your beautiful day!! I hope you enjoy this little recap :o)

Susan & Corey held their ceremony at the Old Whaling Church in Edgartown, on Martha’s Vineyard and celebrated all night long at Corey’s Aunt’s residence at Oak Bluffs.

A very special thanks to my second photographer, Savannah whose photos are sprinkled into the set below.

Ready for some wedding photos? Here we go :o)

Susan’s gooorgeous dress:

Love the little birdhouse in the back :o)

If I were to do my wedding over again, I think this would be the bouquet I would want. How beautiful is that?!?! LOVE the soft colors!

Her maid of honor’s bouquet was beautiful also:

Meet Susan, the gorgeous bride!

I just love ALL the pre-ceremony portraits we got from her … I did a slightly different processing on these than usual, just love the soft, dreamy colors :o)

Soooo pretty!

Family <3

And one showing off their gorgeous rental house!

Meet Corey, the groom with the bluest eyes ever … and his brothers! :o)

Uhm, yup that’s me out at the front, hehe :o)

The Old Whaling church is suuuuch a beautiful building! Talk about spoiling your wedding photographer with all that natural light! My goodness!!!

And you gotta love it when the groom tears up :o)

Susan’s dad was also the officiant at their wedding, makes everything just so much more personal!

I’d say they are one loving, happy family :o)

This shot is a little insider (see party photos later) :o)

The bridal party! :o) Photos taken right in front of the pretty Dr Daniel Fisher’s House around the corner from the church.

And a few of the gorgeous couple. Uhm … sorry for the amount of photos, I could just NOT decide which ones to post :o)

We stopped by the Lighthouse in Edgartown before heading out to Corey’s Aunt’s house:

I loved their pretty details, made with so much love!

Recognize the couple in the middle? 2 of my favorite “wedding crashers” and best friends :o)) Hi Kristen & Joss :o)

This girl sure knows how to make everything look pretty! From the pretty center pieces, to the napkins, the table numbers, the table runners … the candle holders … heck, even the tables and chairs … everything was so beautifully picked and hand crafted with so much love! Just beautiful!

I think the photos we took after the sun set are some of my favorites from the day. Looooved the pretty sky, soso pretty!

Never mind me posting the same photo twice, haha!

Ok, so … I’ll admit I’m the WORST when it comes to narrowing down photos for my blog, haha! Be prepared, bellow are a TON of party photos, but hey everybody had such a wonderful time and the dance floor was packed at ALL times, it’s hard to not keep shooting … and posting :o))

Oh no she didn’t …. YES she did :o))

You didn’t think I was already done posting party photos, right? ;o)

Hannah, 6 months and James, 3 years old <3

Oh did I love seeing this cute little family again, little Hannah has grown so much since her newborn session, what a gorgeous little cutie and her big brother is just the cutest little firecracker :o) Thank you so much for coming by, I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek :o)

 My goodness, those eyes, that look! <3

What a beauty!

A little outtake while she was being changed … She’s such a precious little peanut <3

Cuuuutie! <3

Susan & Corey • Engaged & almost married :o)

I guess I should start calling myself a destination photographer since in the past few years I’ve had to travel to ALL my weddings … but then I still call Boston my second home as that’s where we moved from and where most of my clients are (I love you guys all!) :o) Every once in a while though even the couple has to travel to their wedding location (ha!) so we share the same “destiny” and don’t really get to meet until the week of. I always strongly recommend a skype meeting in case we can’t meet for an interview before they book me (hey, you never know what kind of weirdo vendor you book, haha), but if for some reason that is not possible I REALLY insist on meeting a few days ahead of the big day to get some pre-wedding photos taken. There is a lot to be said to meeting the person that you’ll be smiling & around for for a full day. A quick little engagement / pre-wedding session will take away some of the stress and initial awkwardness and you’ll see you’ll be posing like pros on your big day :o) + it’s just nice to get to know each other a little bit and chat in between photos :o)

I absolutely love the photos I got of sweet Susan and her almost hubbers Corey. They took me to a beautiful beach on Martha’s vineyard where Corey grew up. You gotta scroll down, I reallllllly love some of the sunset photos we got by the rocks, soooooo very pretty!

Stay tuned for their beautiful wedding photos, I’ll post them in not too long :o)

Liam, almost 1.5 years old

Look who I got to see a few days ago! One of my most favorite little customers – little Liam who is almost 1.5 years old already! What should I say, I love, love, love this little buddy :o) He was all smiles (of course) and just super cute and FAST, he sure made us work it this time, haha – but there are worse things than running after such a cutie :o)

I hope you guys all enjoy this little set. The photos were taken just around the corner from our house, gotta love the tall grass and that pretty little bridge.
