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!

Enjoy some previews from their wedding day below.

Canton, MA Wedding at Pequitside Farm {Barbara + Matt}

This wedding has been featured on Borrowed & Blue!

I was honored last February when Matt asked me to photograph his surprise wedding proposal to Barbara. It was the first time I had been asked to document such an occasion and I can't even tell you... it was just beautiful beyond words. Matt and Barbara met at JP Centre Yoga so it was apropos for him to propose to her after the same class they met in one year later. I sneakily took the class, "packed up" and then hid behind the doorway from the teachers' room. Matt put on a beautiful song, I Choose You, and as they did some partner yoga poses, Matt opened up a yoga block with a hidden ring box inside. Oh how I get goosebumps just writing about it now. A few weeks later I met with them to talk about their big day and was incredibly happy to receive the email, "we now have a question for you... will you be our wedding photographer!?" Even before seeing the photographs, I bet you can already tell that these two are the sweetest people. I adored photographing their Pequitside Farm wedding earlier this month filled with DIY goodies and a ton of love. What a beautiful day!
