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.










The men heading upstairs after the Tish.






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!


Beantown kept up the pace all night and everyone had a blast.





Jess's dad with some high kicks!


Jess's mom listening to Jess's sister Danielle giver her toast....




Andrew and his mom...


My apologies to the guest I borrowed the program from for this shot - I totally forgot to give it back to you! It made for a fun picture though....


I usually don't post two ring pictures, but I loved the handwriting on this card....


Jess's mom went a little crazy with the pink & brown themed candy bar - here she is letting all the kiddos loose on it!




Congratulations you two - can't wait to show you the rest!

Last Thursday I got to hang out with Jessica and Andrew at the Public Garden. We did a few engagement pictures as a nice warm-up for their wedding coming up quickly in July! They will be getting married at the Royal Sonesta right on the Charles, so it was fun to be able to do some pictures downtown!!





















How could we leave out Storrow???


Jessica decided to do her trial make-up run with Nancy Antoine and she looked fabulous.





Thanks for a fun night, you two! And, as always, an excuse to come into the city and bring home burritos from Ana's!!!

See you in a few weeks!!

congratulations lori and mike!

Lori & Mike had a gorgeous day for their wedding, and Lori's mom had her house all decked out!

I loved her dress, she had a fantastic little jacket that went with it.



First time I've seen a teddy bear coming down the aisle with a ringbearer, and I have to say, it was a crowd pleaser!




We did their pictures behind their reception site, the Royal Sonesta Hotel, right on the Charles.






The ballroom looked beautiful with long, tapered candles on each table. There were floor to ceiling windows letting in a lot of natural light, and of course stunning views of Boston.




The intermezzo sorbets looked very tempting, but I restrained myself.......


Everyone enjoyed the martini bar!

Now, I've had a lot of craziness on the dance floor this year, and this wedding was no exception, but sometimes it's the people you least suspect!!!

Chris from Mark Willand Video was there also capturing all of the fun on the dance floor. As usual, doing a great job while staying out of the way!
This was someone getting "escorted" off the dance floor when their time was up during the anniversary dance.
