Hillary and John || Misselwood at Endicott College || Beverly, MA

I know that Hillary and John are wrapping up their awesome honeymoon in Hawaii, so I wanted to try and get this on the blog before they got back! (Although, I can see you've been on Facebook you crazy girl!! Get back on the beach!)

So, it rained pretty much the entire day - shocking, I know. They really didn't let it dampen their day a bit, as you'll see from the pictures. We started out at Hillary & John's house with John getting ready.

I then went around the corner to Hillary's mom house, and checked in on the dress which was hanging in the attic - how cool.

Gorgeous flowers by A Whole Bunch.

Hillary is a nurse, and one of her patients gave her a six-pence for the wedding day.

OK, so Hillary complains that she is not photogenic. Oh, we should all be so unphotogenic, Hillary...

I rode in the limo with the wedding party - and I have to give credit to Tim, one of their groomsmen for this picture. He stole my camera for a few minutes and had some fun.

The rain let up a bit, so we did some pictures outside at Misselwood at Endicott College.

LOVE the boots!

Cake by Konditormeister.

Favors were tree seedlings, very green!

I can't pass up the opportunity to photograph a wee little one - I think she was only 8 weeks old, she has 3 older brothers. Do you think she'll be able to date before she's 21?

Hillary and John splurged on the band, Beantown. I saw them in July at Jess & Andrew's wedding, and they totally rocked the party again!

We had a total blast - congratulations you guys!!!

Jessica and Andrew || Royal Sonesta Hotel || Cambridge, Massachusetts

Hello my blog-stalkers....I know you've been waiting for this! I'm so excited that I finally have some pictures to share from Jessica and Andrew's fabulous wedding on the Charles River. Ever since Jessica booked me a year and a half ago, she has been a faithful blog reader, and gotten her friends and family in on the action, too! We had so much fun doing their engagement shoot, that I knew their wedding would be a blast!

The ceremony and reception were at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge, and Christine Lopez made sure everything ran perfectly!

Her little sister couldn't get over how great she looked!

Fiona at Chanel on Newbury did her make-up and it looked beautiful.

Jessica and Andrew chose to see each other before the ceremony and do their pictures so they could enjoy their cocktail hour. I had them meet on a stairway because it makes it really easy to see them both at the same time. Right before their meeting, I took this picture - I could see them both, they could hear each other but not see each other.

It was pretty windy outside, so before we went out, we did a few pictures inside. They just opened a new bar at the Sonesta called the ArtBar. It has such a cool modern feel, and made a great backdrop for photos.

Of course, once Christine knew they were in there, she sent them a few glasses of champagne . Jessica's flowers were by Tangerine Creations.

I love the light in this shot during the ceremony, and that you can see Jessica's mom and dad behind her.

So, this picture is not the most fabulous one ever, but I just wanted to illustrate how many people were on the dance floor BEFORE THE INTRODUCTIONS! And the band was just playing some mellow music - I guess it was a combination of a great band and a bunch of guests ready to party!
