2015 Year In Review

Happy New Year! 2015 Has been a fun and wild ride with some fantastic clients and new opportunities. I’ve had the honor of documenting some truly unique weddings in gorgeous locations in the heart of the city, on islands, in private homes and in barns. The celebrations have ranged from elegant ballroom parties to easy clambakes with lawn games. As a professional, I’ve grown in many ways this year. I started the year with a complete re-brand including a brand new website. I explored new tools to improve my craft including external lighting for receptions and evening photos. But with all these great changes, I never changed my focus. When it comes to shooting weddings, I will always consider myself a story teller first. Below, are some of my favorite moments captured at the weddings I photographed in 2015. There were so many wonderful memories to choose from. Some highlights include shooting two sisters in the same year, seeing both the bride and groom break a glass during their Jewish ceremony, shooting for some fantastic fellow wedding professionals and my first ever fake first look (the look on the groom’s face was priceless). There were epic dance floors, […]

Kristyn and Tom’s Cape Wedding at Wequassett Resort

It’s that time of year when the weather can be just perfect for weddings! The last few days of summer are giving way to the crisp, cool fall evenings. It was a gorgeous day for Kristyn and Tom’s wedding at Wequassett Resort. Their first look on the pier was incredibly picturesque. And after some wedding party portraits on the beach, we were able to wander the property and grab some quintessential Cape Cod photos. The ceremony overlooking the ocean couldn’t have been prettier. Check out the adorable ring bearers walking down the aisle with Kristyn and Tom’s puppy! After the ceremony, guests headed to the waterfront for cocktails and a fabulous nautical themed reception. You’ll love all the little details! Don’t forget to check out their full slide show! VENDORS Venue: Wequassett Resort Florist: Lyndsey Loring Hair: Raimi Warren Makeup: Eva Oseva

Laurie and Josh’s Westin Copley Boston Wedding

When Laurie started planning her wedding, she wanted it smack dab in our beautiful city of Boston. And she got her wish! With the Westin Copley as our home, we are able to sneak over to the Public Garden and the Boston Public Library for photos. It couldn’t have been a more lovely day for it. Both Laurie and Josh got ready at the Westin, so I was able to pop into both rooms while they were preparing for the big day. I loved watching Josh (to be more accurate, one of Josh’s groomsmen) tying a real bow tie. After an intimate and lovely first look we were driven to the Public Garden for wedding party and bridal portraits. Then, it was back to the hotel in time for their Ketubah signing. The ceremony was held in the ballroom with the gorgeous city view as their backdrop. The chuppah was adorned in beautiful muted pink and white flowers. When guests returned to the ballroom after the cocktail hour, the room was totally transformed with the city view twinkling and pink up-lighting filling the ballroom. What a transformation! The only thing more brilliant and vibrant was Laurie’s smile. I swear, that […]

Pam and Dan’s Cafe Escadrille Wedding

OK, this wedding was so fun! Pam and Dan worked hard to make sure their wedding had a real home town feel. When we first spoke, I remember her telling me how she wanted to keep everything about their wedding local and personal. Pam got ready in her childhood home in Burlington and Dan at their home together in Billerica. The ceremony was also held in a local church. We took many of our family and wedding party portraits in the beautiful back yard of Pam’s parent’s home. Pam and Dan both coach at Burlington High School and are proud of their school! I’m so happy we got the chance to spend some time shooting bridal portraits at the school’s football field on that beautiful summer day. Right down the road, their reception was held at Cafe Escadrille. Both the best man and maid of honor had fun stories from childhood. And Pam’s dad had a wonderful surprise during their father/daughter dance. He actually recorded himself singing to his beloved daughter. Pam’s reaction was fantastic! Dan’s dad had his own surprise (at least a surprise to me). He rocked that dance floor like a champion! I’m pretty sure I have […]

Isabelle and Andrew’s Royal Sonesta Boston, Summer Wedding

Isabelle and Andrew are such a fun couple! All you have to do is see Isabelle enjoying a sip of champagne (my kind of lady) or watch Andrew mugging it up for the camera to know I’m telling the truth. We had a great day at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge. The weather was gorgeous. The beautiful summer day was the perfect backdrop for Isabelle’s vibrant color palate of pink and blue (or was that your idea Andrew?). After the ceremony, we spent time along the Charles River creating some fabulous portraits. And the vibrant colors continued in the ballroom with gorgeous pink centerpieces and bright pink up-lighting. The color in the intimate ballroom popped beautifully, but never felt overwhelming. Now that’s the way to do vibrant color at a wedding. The only things that popped more were the smiles on Isabelle and Andrew’s faces! Don’t forget to check out their full slide show!

Christina and Nick’s Charter Oak Country Club, Greek Wedding

Some of you may remember a beautiful January wedding in Boston that I shot for Irene and Ben. Well, this summer I’ve had the honor to shoot her sister Christina’s wedding to Nick. And I was so happy to be spending another happy day with the Krommydas family! The Krommydas family weddings are so special because Christina’s dad is a Greek Orthodox priest. In each wedding, Father Nick walked his daughters down the aisle and proceeded to officiate the ceremony. I just melted every time father and daughter shared a knowing little glance! It made each lovely tradition in the Greek Orthodox ceremony that much more meaningful. Once again, shooting through tears. Friends and family gathered at Charter Oak Country Club to celebrate the special day and it was like the two families had always been one big family. They hugged, and laughed easily. And they danced. Man did they dance! There is one more Krommydas sibling. I will be sitting and waiting patiently by the phone… Don’t forget to check out the full slide show!

Leah and Brad’s Seaport Boston Summer Wedding

It was a lovely summer day on Boston’s waterfront for Leah and Brad’s wedding. The entire experience from getting ready to dancing the night away was at Seaport Boston. Their ceremony was held in the airy and bright Winter Garden followed by a excellent celebration in Seaport’s Lighthouse. Leah kept the decor elegant in neutral and white tones to allow the beautiful setting and view of the Lighthouse to shine. And it felt like almost as much of a party for me as it did for them! I was able to work with some of my very favorite people. As you may know, I was a wedding planner for years at Seaport so it was like walking into my second home. And Leah and Brad (wanting a fantastic dance party) were totally brilliant to hire Kahootz…my very favorite band and clearly the best band in Boston (no, I’m not biased). The focus all day was on fun, friends and family. And it was a blast. Don’t forget to check out their full slide show!

Jessica + Eric’s Romantic Winter Wedding in Boston’s Seaport District

You know I just love it when I have the chance to work with several clients in a tight group of friends. After the second or third wedding, I start to feel like one of the girls! Jessica and Eric’s wedding was like that. I had three former clients and one future client (and one current client of course!) in the same ballroom. I had as much fun as the guests! Jessica and Eric’s wedding was an elegant affair at the beautiful Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel. After seeing them at previous affairs and their engagement shoot, I felt like a good friend rather than a photographer. They were even brave enough to spend some time with me outdoors in the cold but beautiful Boston Seaport District. Thank you for a wonderful close to my 2014 wedding season Jessica and Eric! It was perfect!

Rachel + Jared’s Elegant Cambridge Wedding

If I went around the ballroom and asked their wedding guests to describe Rachel and Jared in one word, I would get some interesting responses for sure! But top on the list would be FUN. Rachel and Jared’s wedding day was filled with laughter, humor, joy and most of all fun. There was also a healthy dose of bling thrown in compliments of Rachel! Check out her shoes and jewelry! The ceremony and reception overlooked the beautiful Boston city skyline from the ballroom at the Royal Sonesta Hotel. But the twinkling of the city lights was nothing compared to the twinkle in Rachel and Jared’s eyes!

Katie + Anthony’s Fabulous DIY Wedding

Katie and Anthony’s wedding was just a blast to shoot! It was full of special DIY touches. You see, Katie (on top of being a fabulous dancer and choreographer) owns a wonderful business that creates beautiful paper flowers and other paper items for special events. Please check her out for at www.katherineelizabethevents.com your next event! Her wedding day was a fabulous opportunity to show her talent and artistry. The celebration was held at Melrose Memorial Hall in a great old theater which added its’ own artistic flair. Combine all that beauty and character with a beautiful couple (totally head over heals for each other) with a really fun group of friends and family, and you’ve got a photographer’s dream wedding! Thanks for the wonderful night!
