Boston, MA City Hall Wedding {Julie + Patrick}

This wedding has been featured on Borrowed & Blue!

Julie and Patrick held an intimate wedding with their closest friends and family this past summer in Boston. Their good friend married them in a beautiful ceremony in the Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park right on the water. Originally, the couple was planning to get married at Boston City Hall and we were going to walk to the park for photographs but their friend pointed out that she could marry them anywhere and why not hold the ceremony under the beautiful green, sun-splashed canopy as well. A street performer played some jazzy Sinatra, there was a light summer breeze, and the mood was perfect.

I absolutely love photographing intimate weddings because they are just that, intimate. The sometimes-over-the-top details are left behind and the true love intention of the day, shared with those closest to you, remains. I couldn't help but tear up a bit when they said their vows. The way they looked at each other and down towards Julie's belly and their little one on the way had everyone a little teary-eyed and full of smiles.

The couple chose Lucca in the North End to enjoy some delicious Italian food so we grabbed some photographs along the way in a few of Boston's iconic brick alleyways. I cannot wait to share a handful from their collection with you.

Best of luck to you, Julie and Patrick, and so much love to your little bundle of joy, too!

Attleboro, MA Wedding at Colonel Blackinton Inn {Elizabeth + Sean}

This wedding was featured on Borrowed & Blue!

I loved every minute of photographing Elizabeth and Sean and their beautiful family this past summer. I met Elizabeth through the yoga community only earlier this year but she is one of those people where I felt as if I'd known her forever. From taking her yoga class to photographing her wedding, I can say that she is one of the warmest, most down to earth people I have ever met. Of course with a personality like that, you can only imagine that the person she's chosen to be her partner is also incredibly real and compassionate as well. And, meeting her three girls on her wedding day was so much fun as well! All three are incredibly sweet, so much fun, and awesome as bridesmaids!

Photographing Elizabeth and Sean's love on their wedding day was so refreshing. {No pun given all of the rain that day!} You could see it in their faces during their ceremony, from the sincerity, to the huge smiles, this couple had my heart melting. We were super lucky that the rain parted for a short while to grab some photographs around the property and at a beautiful park across the street. And while we didn't see a rainbow during photographs, I am certain that one came out later that day, a sign from her father on her wedding day.

Colonel Blackinton Inn was the perfect venue for this wedding, a totally intimate and relaxed setting, completely beautiful all around. This venue is winning my venue of the year award for sure because not only was it completely beautiful to photograph, but the staff was so incredibly friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond in all of the ways that matter, literally getting their hands dirty to make everything perfect. I highly recommend them to those of you looking to host an intimate wedding. {And please pick me to photograph it because I now cannot wait to get back here to shoot some time soon!!}

I hope you enjoy looking at all of the fun, all of the love, and all of the awesome dance moves as much as I loved photographing them! Enjoy!

Elizabeth teaches at NRG in Mansfield, Universal Power Yoga in Norwood, SheBreathes Balance and Wellness Studio in Walpole and Firefly Yoga in Foxboro. I highly recommend checking out her yoga classes!
