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.

Boston, MA Wedding at City Hall {Lee + Pat}

Lee and Pat got married last weekend at Boston City Hall and I feel so honored that I was able to be a part of their big day. They were looking for something very simple and low-key, so I met them {along with many loving family members and friends} outside Boston City Hall to photograph them after their service and stayed for some family portraits.  A wedding day should be all about what the bride and groom are looking for and that doesn't necessarily mean a big 8 or 10 hour photography session. For them it was all about getting the key people surrounding them that day so that's exactly what we did!

I met Lee right after graduating from yoga teacher training in 2011. She was actually the first person to hire me to teach yoga at Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs, at the Brighton location she managed. I taught at her location for two years because it was an amazing community to be a part of. Lee introduced me to her sister, Alex, by purchasing her a surprise engagement shoot! I then photographed Alex and Nick's beautiful Maine wedding last year. It's incredible to be a part of a family for more than one wedding. {Jay, wink, wink, you're next.}

Take a look at some of the portraits we captured last weekend!

Oneonta, NY Wedding of Simone & Cliff at The Carriage House

{Back Blog} - Wedding Date: April 12, 2014

Simone & Cliff are absolutely adorable, loving people. And their snowy winter engagement shoot brought out their carefree, down to earth attitudes that were such a joy to be around. I knew from that day that their wedding day would be just lovely and stress-free (as far as weddings go, at least!).

Simone planned every detail with perfection. When you see the photos of the vintage DIY coffee jar centerpieces atop old books, with fresh baby's breath and carnations, you will see what I mean. Her Dad built a macro chalkboard and her sister hand wrote the guest names with perfection. Simone even hand painted a tree where their guests could sign and write well wishes on the leafs! Gorgeous. This should qualify as professional DIY!

One of the most lovely parts was watching Cliff's dad, Pastor Cliff, perform their ceremony under a hand build wedding arch that he had renewed his own vows under with his wife just a few years prior.

Congratulations to Simone & Cliff! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!
