Amanda and Ajay’s wedding was held at the Wentworth by the Sea Country Club in Rye, New Hampshire. It was a beautiful September celebration, though from the images and the pops of pink color it really feels like spring or summer! What I loved most about their day was that they really put spending time with their guests and making sure everyone enjoyed themselves at the top of their priority list. They scheduled most of their portraits to be done before the ceremony so that they could spend quality time with loved ones during the cocktail hour. They also included some Indian dance instruction during the reception to incorporate Ajay’s culture into the day while making sure all of the guests could participate. Finally, they extended their night with an after-party at a local bar so that they could have even more time with their friends before the night was officially over. Such a fun time!

The first wedding I ever booked was held at the MIT Chapel a couple of years ago, so it was fun to finally revisit it for Vikki and Kyle‘s wedding over this Labor Day weekend. I love the chapel because the outside is unassuming, making the inside so unexpected and that much more awe-inducing. The way the light filters in from both the skylight above and the reflected sunlight through the moat along the bottom of the brick walls really gives the space a dream-like quality–perfect for a wedding ceremony. Vikki and Kyle’s intimate ceremony in the chapel was followed by a lively reception at the Museum of Science. They had so many fun details from the reception: the cake toppers represented the their Chinese zodiac signs (too cute!), the bridal party surprised them by creating some interactive games that got the whole room involved and howling from laughter, some talented friends gave swing dancing lessons to start the party, and the test tube centerpieces doubled as favors filled with sweet ingredients to bring home. Overall, it was a perfect evening!

I’m about to head out of town for the holiday, but first here are a few images from Diah and Paulie’s engagement session in Marblehead, MA. Their relationship began and blossomed during visits to the Light Tower and Castle Rock, so it only made sense to stop at these locations to get some portraits that afternoon! We had a great time getting to know each other, navigating the rocks, and looking out over the water and the boats.

I hope you all enjoy the photos and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I’m so excited that the Elm Bank wedding I recently photographed is featured on the Style Me Pretty Massachusetts blog today! It was so great to work with Wileen and Courtney on their wedding and see all of the sweet details in person, but this SMP recap is a fun reminder of all of the prettiness that day. I absolutely love Wileen’s description which highlights some of the personal, thoughtful, and DIY details that went into the wedding. You can see the full feature and description here and my personal blog post of their wedding here.

Sonya and Victor were married years ago but never had a formal ceremony or wedding photographs, so when they asked me to take some portraits of them dolled up in wedding attire I was more than happy to oblige! We started off at the Boston Public Library (the one place I am still dying to shoot a wedding at!) and then made our way over to the wharf. They were such a lovely couple to work with!
