:: June 2014 Archive ::

I am so thankful to have had the experience of meeting Stephen and Julie. These two are one of those rare couples who, for lack of a better word, are just “right”. They are so effortlessly comfortable and easy together….eyes light up when they are looking at each other and smiles are never too far away. We met up in the Seaport area to get some pictures of fan pier, the harbor, and a few more places in between. We chatted about how they met and all about the fun plans for their August 2015 wedding. Julie just so happens to be the fabulous face behind the stylish one, so naturally her dress was to die for (Stephen-you looked pretty amazing too!!!).

Can’t wait for next summer, to continue sharing this love story as it unfolds!

Steve and Meaghan’s June wedding day was special for all the obvious reasons. However, this particular summer Saturday also marked a culmination of a different sort. Up until the point of “I do” Meaghan and Steve had been living hours (and timezones!) apart…seeing each other whenever possible. During the times when Meaghan was missing her fiancé more than usual, she would run past the Squantum Yacht Club. Doing so would remind her that the time would come when she and Steve would marry and be together under the same roof everyday. Well that day finally arrived with blue skies and sun! I started the day with Meaghan and her bridesmaids. After a beautiful (and quick!) ceremony in downtown Quincy, it was off to Wollaston beach for some portraits and, of course, to party. The day capped off with a gorgeous sunset which was the perfect end to an amazing celebration. Meaghan and Steve-your love story is truly unique and I’m honored to share each moment!

Steve was so cute up at the altar waiting for his bride…a little nervous, a little teary, and so very happy!
Congrats you guys, can’t wait to show you the rest!!

At the end of May, I had the pleasure of second shooting for the fabulous Stephanie of Stephanie Rita Photography. I was told beforehand that the couple, Tim and Rachel, were the sweetest most awesome bride and groom around…and they certainly didn’t disappoint!! Every detail of the day was full of love, meaning, and unique little details. For starters…Rachel wore a wedding dress and veil that was previously worn by her mother and before that, her aunt and grandmother. Centerpieces were created using wood boxes handmade by Tim’s father. Speeches included descriptions of Tim and Rachel’s commitment to each other, to family, and to helping others. Needless to say, I was so impressed and left feeling inspired in a multitude of ways.

I started out with the groomsmen, walking to meet up with the rest of the bridal party for formals in the back bay. Next came a beautiful ceremony at Saint Cecilia’s, and then on to Elm Bank for cocktail hour, lots of details, and a party that got everyone on the dance floor (young and old!). What a way to kick off my very first wedding season!!

While Stephanie was getting ready to capture the procession, I hung back with Rachel to capture the moments before I do!Details, details!The DJ did a fantastic job of getting everyone pumped up for Rachel and Tim’s big entrance!
Congrats Tim and Rachel, and thanks Stephanie for letting me take part in this amazing day!
