This was it! My last wedding of this season! Boy, do I wish I could have changed the weather for you guys!! :o( Sooo much rain with no chances of taking any pics outside :o(( But I have to say you had a beautiful wedding anyway! :o)

MiJung & Young got ready at the Ritz Carlton in downtown Boston & celebrated their ceremony as well as their reception at the Korean Church in Brookline.

Congrats to both of you & I hope you had an awesome time in Miami & Paris … with some sunny weather :o)

MiJung, Young & I decided to do the posed pics before the ceremony, hoping to go to a park in Brookline, but unfortunately we had to skip that little trip. Instead we decided to take their pics at the very pretty Ritz Carlton where they got ready:

There wasn’t much dancing going on, but it sounded like they had some really funny toast (we didn’t understand a thing, haha, but their guests sure had an awesome time)

and thanks again to my faaabulous 2nd photographer Geneve!! :o)

I have to say, I was a bit scared to shoot an other wedding this year, having seen how much the weather changed in just a couple of days, and since I was out of the country a couple of days before Kiara & Bob’s wedding I was especially nervous about the fall leaves, and the sinking temperatures. But I have to say, it couldn’t have been a more perfect day. Everything looked so pretty and was prepared with so much love to detail. We were able to take some pictures outside, and took some inside Hamilton Hall too – how could ever resist their beautiful interior?? It was a wonderful wedding & a wonderful couple :o)

Kiara & Bob celebrated their ceremony & reception at the beautiful Hamilton Hall in Salem.

I hope you guys had a great time on St. Lucia!! :o)

A special thanks to Lori Steigerwald for being my 2nd shooter on that day! :o)

simple & beautiful:

I love this shot:

And everybody that knows me, knows how much I love taking bridal portraits :o) One of my very favorites of all times:

What a stunning bride!!!

Since Kiara & Bob’s ceremony was a bit later in the afternoon we decided to take some photos beforehand, so we could take advantage of the beautiful fall colors :o)

Haha, I loved this cat, and I think she / he loved us too, must be the cuddliest cat in whole Salem! :o)

And for those of you that wonder, seeing a black cat on your wedding day is actually lucky!! :o) See here

Aren’t the colors Kiara & Bob chose just beautiful??? GORGEOUS!!

The next 4 photos were taken by my 2nd shooter, Lori. I love, love, love them – Thanks Lori!! :o)

And one more shot of the whole bridal party :o)

Yup, that was the room where Kiara & Bob held their ceremony (& reception). Isn’t is just beautiful??? I loooved the grand mirrors & all the beautiful chandeliers!

A special thanks also to Tricia, Hamilton Hall’s wedding coordinator / event planner. It was a real pleasure working with you! :o)

Boy, what a fun, fall wedding! Not only did Ivelisse look drop dead gorgeous, they also had 2 super cute flower girls, alll sorts of pretty details, and wow could that crowd dance!!

Ivelisse & Greg celebrated their ceremony & reception at the Sasso Restaurant in Downtown Boston. I just drove through the area the other day, and I believe they changed the restaurant’s name to Lucca shortly after the wedding. Their photos were taken in the little park near the Prudential Tower.

A special thanks to my second photographer of the day, Shang who did an outstanding job. Thanks so much for joining me, I had a blast shooting with you :o)

I hope you are having a fabulous time in Puerto Rico! :o)

Have I mentioned I how much I love detail shots? :o)

Ivelisse & Greg decided to do their posed photos before the ceremony, and since Ivelisse is an architect we had to stop by the IM Pei building near the Christian Science Center for some photos:

I love the next 2 photos. What a dramatic backdrop!

A beautiful fall day in Boston:

Kathryn & Nicholas, you guys had such a FUUUN wedding, I still have to chuckle when I think about some of your photos – especially considering what an early start we had with them / 8am AND they were all up, dressed … and … had a drink in their hands, haha. You guys are truly a wonderful couple. We had a great time at your wedding. I hope you’ll like your little preview, the rest will be in the mail tomorrow :o)

My very best wishes to both of you & I hope you guys had a fun honeymoon in beautiful Vermont!

Kathryn & Nicholas held their ceremony at the Federated Church of Orleans & their afternoon reception at the Lighthouse Inn.

A special thanks also to my lovely & awesome second photographer Geneve :o)

Oh, did I mention that Nicholas showed up with some fake mustaches?? ;o))

The Light House Inn has this funny looking Pirate Ship, which I thought was a perfect scene for this shot:

The pretty bride:

2 shots from Geneve:

I looooved your flowers & colors. Just beautiful!

It’s official there is no cuter flower girl than lill’ Sophia. Isn’t she just adorable??

And the ring barer was a cutie too :o)

I snagged this one from Geneve’s set. So pretty!  :

Aw, you have to enjoy those little moments … before you know it you’ll be dancing at their wedding ;o))

Kate & Ethan, you guys are such a wonderful couple. You did not let the rain ruin your day and it was such a joy to see the sparkles in  your eyes from the moment Kate walked down the isle with her dad, until we left the party. You guys are truly a perfect match and I *wish* we could have had sunshine, but I’m honestly not sure if the day could have been more perfect.

Thanks for letting us be part of your fun, funny & touching wedding day!

Kate & Ethan celebrated their ceremony at Saint John’s, in Pocasset and held their ceremony at the Brookside Club in Bourne.

Congrats to both of you! :o)

Yup, that’s how I felt too :o(

I hope you don’t mind me posting this photo, Kate … haha … This was Kate’s reaction when she had a first glimpse at the downpour outside … ;o)

Kate and Ethan were brave enough to try to fight the weather Gods and we drove to the Nobska Lighthouse for some group photos :o)

There was just no way that we could take any photos on the beautiful grounds of the Brookside Club, luckily they do have a nice big porch, our photo-saver of the day :o)

Cuteness! I love you guys!

Can you tell that Kate has a love for dancing? The whole bridal party performed a dance right after they were introduced … haha, you guys are just the best!! :o)

“You wouldn’t dare to smear the cake all over my face, would you?” ….. goooood husband :o)

“But that doesn’t mean I can smear your piece all over your face, right? Hehe … not sure if the cake will fit in your mouth honey, say aaaahhhhhh“

… smuuuuush … :o)

Kate & Ethan may not have had the best weather on their wedding day, but they sure had an awesome party :o)

Their fabulous DJ: DJ Erik from event-experience.com

A special thanks again to my wonderful 2nd photographer: Geneve

Another fabulous summer wedding! And this group sure knew how to party. :o)

I hope you guys enjoy your little sneak peek, you got SO many wonderful photos!

Sacha & Larry celebrated their ceremony & reception at the Bittersweet Farm in Westport.

I hope you guys are having a great time on your honeymoon :o)

I LOVED their colors:

My favorite of the day :oD

And a very special thanks again to Geneve :o)

What should I say, I kept checking the weather report for Katie’s & Bryan’s wedding (ok, I admit it, I check the weather report every day during the wedding season, I’m an addict and constantly worried), and it really broke my heart, but the forecast looked … well … bad. There was a hurricane warning on the coast, and every day I checked, all I saw were rain drops :o( Katie called me 2 days before to check and see what sort of back-up plan we could come up with, and it turned out we didn’t have to worry. I don’t think I felt one raindrop on me that day, and I can’t even tell you how happy I was for you guys!! :o) Getting married in such a pretty location, but having the weather turn against you is a weddingday-no-go, haha!! ;o)

Katie, first of all, I LOVED your shoes, and all your details and color scheme for your wedding. Everything looked SO pretty. The flowers turned out amazing, the venue was beautiful, and you guys are just one of the best couples!!

Congrats to both of you. I wish you both the very best, I really enjoyed working with you on your wedding day. And thanks also to your parents for the warm welcome into their home.

Katie and Bryan held their ceremony and their reception at the Keene County Club in New Hampshire.

I hope you guys are enjoying Hawaiiiii :o)

It was a coooold summer day, haha:

And a very special thanks again to my 2nd photographer who does outstanding work: Geneve

Meredith & Sam, you guys are the best. Your wedding was so much fun, there is no way this little sneak peek preview will do your day any justice. In addition to that I am only half way through your set, so there are more ceremony + reception photos to come.

Meredith & Sam held their ceremony & reception in the skyline room in the Museum of Science in downtown Boston. I have to say, the Skyline Room is a real gem, the view you get form there over the whole city is priceless, especially at night when all the lights go on!

They gave us *so* much time for the photos, so we had the opportunity to go to all sorts of fun places to take them. Thanks so much for that. It was really hard choosing only a few for this post … you guys got TONS, I mean … TONS more!!!

You guys are just a wonderful, funny & loving couple. I wish you both the very best and hope you’ll enjoy this post :o)

A special thanks to my fabulous 2nd shooter Geneve!! :o)

Meredith & Sam decided to do the posed photos before their ceremony, so we found a nice little spot at the Royal Sonesta where they would see each other for the first time:

Meredith & Sam had a truly awesome wedding party … :o)

Did I mention how awesome they all were?

They were up for anything. Our take on Abbey Road :o)

And then we went to the Museum of Science and took even more photos … I think some of them had flashbacks to the good old times :o)

And a few ceremony pics from the Skyline Room:

They had the nicest details. Meredith is in the astronomy field / and the room was the Skyline Room …. so lots, and lots of personal touches :o)

I especially liked your signing board & the table “numbers”. Perfect!!

Yup, that was the view!!! Where else in Boston do you get that??

More photos to come …

Finally! I had some catching up to do this weekend. My internet decided to die on me, so this post was on my to-do list for way too long.

Last weekend we photographed Emily’s & Jeff’s beautiful wedding in Newport. They held their ceremony right on the beach and had their party at the Easton’s Beach Rotunda.

Emily I looooved your dress, it looked perfect on you, and I love all the little details you guys had! I know you’ve been waiting for these post for a while, but how is this as a sneak peek? :o)

I hope you guys had a fab time in England and Scotland!

Can I start off with some of my favorite prep photos? Here’s Emily, the beautiful bride:

A little shadow play :o)

Married! :o)

I totally planned to have the bird fly into my shot!! Haha ;o)

Love the next two:

Hm, probably my favorite of the day, should hang on a wall:

… and when you get married at the Rotunda, you have to take a carousel photo. Definitely something for my portfolio. :o)

Have I mentioned lately how much I like up-lighting? Love it! :o)

Thanks for joining me Lori! :o)

When I say there is no bigger reward for me than getting a nice message from the couple once they’ve seen some of their photos I really mean it. This is what it’s all about!

Emily, I hope you don’t mind that I post this, thank you *so* much for your lovely note!! :o)

Agnieszka,

What can we say? We love them. Absolutely love them. We will cherish these photos forever which makes you an important person in the timeline of our life together. We’ll show people these pictures and they’ll say “Your photographer was great!” and we’ll think of you. So for that, thank you.

I’m jumping out of my skin to see the rest!! Stalking the mail tomorrow.

Emily

Oh Yay! Emily & Jeff got published in the Newport Wedding Magazine!

If you want to read more & see some more of their photos, click HERE. They are alllll over the magazine, so check it out :o)

I love outdoor ceremonies & the Hellenic Center is such a beautiful spot for a wedding. Historic New England Estates just have a certain charm :o)

Anne & David had a short & sweet ceremony in the gardens of the Hellenic Center in Ipswich, followed by a fun reception in the inside of the mansion. They had a faaaabulous band playing all night, and all the guests had TONS of fun!

If anybody is looking for some professional dancers / dancefloor entertainers, they should definitely give David a call. I think 2 of his groomsmen win the this year’s best-dancers in action award (I wish I would have had a video camera, haha!) :o)

Hope you guys are enjoying Antiguaaaaaa :o)

David had the biggest smile when he saw Anne :o)

What a beautiful spot for a outdoor ceremony! Love the tree right behind them.

Anne & David had an awesome band (Boston Common) that was playing the whole night. They also came in with some special lights which made the whole room pop! Very cool :o)

And I have to say the band ROCKED!!

Doesn’t that uplighting just scream FUN? Thought since I can’t share the music the band played that night, I could at least post a couple more reception shots than I usually do :o)

Thanks to my fabulous 2nd photographer, Geneve

Band: Boston Common

I love how I get to travel for my weddings, even if it wasn’t very far this time, it was fun to get out of the city for once. :o) This time we got to photograph a gorgeous wedding in an apple orchard in NH. I will not mention the weather forecasts anymore, haha … you’ll see the scary clouds later int he post, BUT we did make it through the photos without any raindrops, so … YAY!

Karen & Andrew flew alllll the way from the other side of the world to celebrate their wedding in Karen’s hometown in NH. They celebrated their ceremony (which was performed by Karen’s mom) in the family’s orchard, … and held their party at Karen’s home.

Thanks so much for letting us be part of your beautiful event! Here’s your little sneak peek :o)

A sneak peek photo of their car:

I swear I didn’t touch up the clouds in photoshop, this is how it looked …

And some pics with their cool chevy!

And my favorite from the day :o)  :

Thanks for joining me, Geneve

Heather & Derek celebrated their ceremony in the light filled Christ The King Parish in Mashpee, and had their reception at the Brookside Club in Bourne.

I hope you’re having a fabulous time in JAMAICA, enjoy your little sneak peek :o)

I don’t know what you were whispering to Heather .. haha, but Derek,  you sure look innocent!! :o)

Oh yeah, did I mention that it was supposed to rain that day??

Have I told you how much your car rocked??? Awesomeness!

Yiiikes. I thought I was done posting pics of this beeeautiful wedding, but Heather & Derek, guess what … I have a couple more for you guys :o)

So. I think I’ll give it up with my hopes to get any nice weather this summer. I don’t know why the weather report is messing with me and all my wedding couples this season :o(

Amanda & Eric celebrated their beautiful outdoor (!) ceremony & reception at the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard. LUCKILY we got only a few raindrops during the ceremony, and the clouds moved away after just a few minutes! To be sure that we got photos in this gorgeous setting, we decided to take *some* posed photos before the ceremony, but since it cleared up afterward we were able to get a few more photos and ended up with a huge set.

Amanda & Eric. I hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon in NH (with hopefully no rain!?) … Here’s a little sneak peek. Enjoy :o)

I thought this sculpture couldn’t have been more fitting … looking out in the cloudy sky …:

I just love this photo. The happy groom:

I love the photos we got in the tall grass, it’s hard to pic a favorite. But I think this one might be the one :o)

Our cute little competition:

As I said, it started raining during the ceremony. The clouds sure made a dramatic entrance, but luckily passed after just a few rain drops …

Thanks for joining me Mrs. Geneve :o)

Natalie & Nevin I hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon in Turkey! :o) I just wanted to send you a little sneak peek to your wonderful set, I hope you’ll enjoy the photos :o)

I still can’t believe we lucked out with the weather … again!! What is it just with this summer?? :o( BUT I told you, if the sky is a bit overcast, it’s actually even better (for the photographer anyway, haha), so we ended up having the most delicious, even light for the photos and it showed!

Thank you soooo much for letting us be part of your special day!

Natalie & Nevin celebrated their elegant ceremony & reception at the Museum of Science in Boston.

I love the pose at the window, but this one is exceptionally beautiful! Like out of a magazine!

Nevin insisted on being in all the photos … haha … sort of ;o)

2 cool dudes ring bearers :o)  :

As I said .. we had the most beautiful even light … no squinty eyes!! Love it!

… and some photos from the Blue Room at the Museum of Science, where Natalie & Nevin held their reception:

I sneaked that one from Lori, what a cool pic! :o)

And last but not least … a photo with the oldest wedding crasher / party animal *ever* :o)

Thanks for joining me Lori! :o)
