Cambridge, MA Wedding at City Hall and Harvest Restaurant {Ratnakar & Cheryl}

Congratulations Ratnakar and Cheryl! I had the pleasure of photographing this couple for their intimate wedding this past Saturday. We met up at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences to photograph some portraits of just the couple in an private setting. While we were just a few steps from the city, this area truly felt like a green oasis. It was the perfect spot to capture their first wedding day portraits and was only a short drive away from Cambridge City Hall.

This couple had the honor of having the Mayor of Cambridge, E. Dennis Simmons officiate their wedding ceremony. With their closest family and friends witnessing, they said their vows and were officially married in the Mayor's quarters in at Cambridge City Hall.

We were then able to sneak away for just a bit to photograph a few more portraits of the couple at the beautiful Longfellow House in Cambridge before heading over to their lunch reception at Harvest Restaurant.

While I was only with this couple for a few hours, it was clear to see that they had a picture perfect love. Congratulations again to this lovely couple!

Groton, MA Wedding at The Barn at Gibbet Hill {Samantha and Michael}

This wedding has been featured on Borrowed & Blue!

I am so excited to share a few previews from Samantha and Michael's gorgeous wedding day this past May. Sam and Mike chose The Barn at Gibbet Hill in Groton, MA for their rustic themed barn wedding. The girls wore brilliant red bridesmaids gowns that photographed like a dream and the groomsmen touted dapper grey suits with small succulent boutonnières. {You may already know, I am a sucker for succulents.} Les Fleurs decorated the day not only with gorgeous bouquets for the bride and bridal party but also with a beautiful ladder archway arrangement for the ceremony that was completely stunning. I am constantly in awe of florists' abilities to transform a space with their creations. Speaking of, I am thrilled to share that Lizzie Baker Designs created the most beautiful paper succulent place cards for this wedding. They were just so unbelievably beautiful. {Lizzie not only created all of the bouquets and boutonnières for my wedding but also is a close personal friend and I can't help but gush over her amazing work. My jaw is constantly on the floor when she shows me her designs.} These florals are some of my very favorites of her creations.

Sam and Mike were just amazing to work with, super happy, so in love, and completely radiant on their wedding day. They both had the absolute best smiles during their ceremony and I am pretty sure there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd when the two of them read their personalized wedding vows.

I absolutely loved being a part of their beautiful wedding day. Without further ado, please enjoy some photographs from Sam and Mike's wedding.

Bedford, NH Wedding at the Manchester Country Club {Abbey + Nate}

I am so glad that Abbey and Nate contacted me to photograph their intimate wedding last month. In met up with the couple in the morning at Abbey's mom's house to photograph the two of them sharing some moments ahead of time together. And then, with family and close friends, Abbey and Nate tied the knot on the patio of the Manchester Country Club in Bedford, NH. My favorite part of the day was seeing how incredibly smitten these two are with each other. I continually find it to be amazing that my job allows me to peek into others' worlds to witness such love. Congratulations, Abbey and Nate!
