Kara & Jacin | Raffael’s

I am finally catching up with my posts, and I am sure everybody is waiting for the promised sneak peek … so here we go! :o) This weekend I had TWO fabulous weddings. An Italian, and a Greek affair! I loooove my job … and … I looooove Italy! In fact it’s one of my favorite places in Europe … no, in the whole WORLD (I am not kidding! I think I lived in Florence in my past life and am still waiting for my first destination wedding in Rome!!! How cool would that be??). When I used to live in Switzerland I had to go at least once a year down South, to get my Italian injection! So this year … you guys saved me a trip!! :o)

Kara & Jacin, you guys were a w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l couple to work with!!! I can’t believe how beautiful everything looked, and can’t even imagine how long it took to put your wedding together. And it’s official! You guys had the biggest wedding party I’ve ever photographed!!! I think you guys had 34 people, correct me if I’m wrong … and that’s just counting the: 13 bridesmaids, 1 junior brides maid, 4 flower girls, 12 groomsmen and 4 ring bearers (parents & Kara & Jacin not included) … WOW!!!

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful day with us! We got an *insane* amount of photos, I’m not even half way through your set!! When I selected my top favorite (must-blog-photos) I ended up with 83 photos … you guys are getting me into trouble! Haha (oh boy!!) … I lowered the amount, but bear with me, this will be a long post …

Kara & Jacin celebrated their ceremony at the gorgeous Holy Name Parish in West Roxbury, and had a fun, Italian party at Raffael’s in Walpole! – Oh, and the pics were taken at the picturesque Larz Anderson Park in Brookline.

Definitely a wedding to remember. Thanks so much for sharing your day with us!!!

There are only a few things I would change about my own wedding, having an old timer is on the list!! How beautiful is this car?!??

This photo still cracks me up … I promise the groom survived – without a broken back :o)

Do you recognize this bridge? Yup, it’s the same spot where we took Kara & Jacin’s engagement photos :o)

Hmmmm, one of my favorite from the day:

I always take 2-3 “classic” poses, even though I don’t really usually post them. But this one came out *so* beautiful! You guys just have a perfect smile. Love it!

‘Gotcha, Jacin!!! :oD

What a beauty of a shot (if I may say so):

Yup, they had a little flight at the cake table, haha! That was one braaaaave groom :o)

And what would an Italian wedding be without a packed dance floor?

Thanks for joining me Miss Geneve :o)

Melissa & John | Castle in the Clouds

Yay! It’s finally time for a little sneak peek again. :o)

Melissa & John got married at the gorgeous Castle in the Clouds (NH) last weekend. I am not sure if the view could have been any better. The Mountain Range has a breathtaking vista of Lake Winnipesaukee  & is surrounded by mountains. Just beautiful, and a perfect spot for an outdoors wedding :o)

Melissa & John, your wedding was filled with so much laughter and happy-tears (boy, I hope nobody saw the photographer tearing up, haha!) and it was a huge pleasure to work with you on your beautiful day, thanks so much for sharing it with us :o)

Here’s your sneak peek:

Just one quick pic of the view, did I promise too much?

And I told you about alllllll the tears … :o) … and …

… and laughs! :oD

and that’s a pic of a VERY happy couple! :o)

Thanks to my fabulous 2nd photographer, Geneve

Alyssa & Adam | Plymouth Yacht Club

Alyssa & Adam, I can’t believe how time flies, I remember when we had our interview not too long ago, and you were telling me about your wonderful wedding plans! :o) I was already looking forward to your wedding for a while, I love weddings at the water … and when you told me about the VW bug you’re planning to take to the church, I couldn’t wait to see it!! :o) Haha! I LOVE old cars, and your grandpa’s VW was the cutest little thing!! :o) I hope you will have a fabulous time on your honeymoon, thought I would share some photos before you head out :o)

Alyssa & Adam celebrated their ceremony at the Chiltonville Congregational Church and held their reception at the fun Plymouth Yacht Club.

Irene & George | Boston Harbor Hotel

This is it! My first wedding of my 2009 season! :o) I seriously couldn’t have wished for a better wedding! Beautiful couple, gorgeous wedding venue, fun bridal party … AND we missed the rain by a couple of hours, yay! :o) I was already looking forward to shooting this wedding for a couple of weeks, so here’s a *little* preview :o)

Irene & George celebrated their Amercian ceremony at the beautiful Boston Harbor Hotel. – I can’t express how much I love this hotel, it’s such a pretty place for a wedding, and it offers a beautiful backdrop for wedding photos :o) … A Boston Icon!

Irene & George. You got so many wonderful photos, I hope you’ll enjoy them for many, many years!! Irene, you looked like a Chinese princess in all your dresses, just beautiful! Thank you so much for letting us be part of your special day, and giving us so much time for the photos. I hope you had a fabulous time in Paris! ;o)
