Maureen and Luke || Commandant's House || Charlestown, Massachusetts

What a gorgeous day Maureen and Luke had for their wedding! Which, was no small feat given the weather we've had. I didn't even take out my rainbow umbrella! They had the reception at the lovely Commandant's House in Charlestown. Maureen got ready there, and there were plenty of places to shoot.

She got her dress at Allegria Bridal.




I like this one of her & her dress!


Maureen and Luke took dance lessons on the sly, and she didn't want anyone to see that her shoes were scuffed up from practicing.  She didn't think that they would be good for a shoe picture, but I think they did just fine.....



I love how excited and happy she looks in this picture.






I couldn't stop shooting!  How cool is this place?



Luke grinning ear to ear as Maureen comes down the aisle with her dad.




The ceremony was held at St. Mary's Church in Charlestown, and it was just stunning.

After the ceremony, we walked down to City Square for a few pictures - bring on the sun!




It was great to see Tes from Trolleys by Tes again. She was at Catherine and Kevin's wedding in July. We zipped back to the Navy Yard.


While the bridal party joined the reception, Jenna from the Commandant's House brought us over to the U.S.S. Constitution for a few pictures of Maureen & Luke. Nothing like cutting to the front of the line and feeling like a rock star!


Just a few more pictures...here's Kelly's...


and here's mine...don't they look like Mr. & Mrs. Boston?





Bunker Hill Florist did the flowers...




In lieu of favors, they made a donation to the Boston Celtics (Maureen's employer - how cool!) Shamrock Foundation.


Morin's Catering took care of all of the food and the cake. Not only was everything gorgeous, but it was delicious, too!




So, Luke & Maureen totally wow-ed everyone with their first dance, but I just love how excited/relieved Luke was when it was all over - check out this series -


With the first dance out of the way, Maureen's sister made her toast. She said that she looked lovely enough to be on the cover of a magazine - but wait! she's already been on the cover of a magazine!


Here's Maureen on the cover of National Geographic's World magazine - awesome.






Congratulations!!! Many more to come!

Renee and Justin || Londonderry, New Hampshire

Happy day after Labor Day everyone!  I finally have a few images to share from Renee & Justin's awesome day in New Hampshire.  They were lucky enough to host the event at their house and Renee's parents' house, and they were gorgeous settings for the day.  Here is how we found Renee when we arrived, super relaxed, and just chilling with her pup in the backyard.

Her dress was beautiful, perfect for spinning....you'll see later....


The veil was hanging from a balcony, so this is shot from the floor with the chandelier in the background.








It started raining (shocker!), so we grabbed a few shots under the pergola.  I love you, pergola.








I love this shot of them by the woods...

Doesn't the camera just love these two?

Here's my new best friend this season - the rainbow umbrella!  It started to rain again so we headed inside for a bit.

And then it was sunny again!  This time for the rest of the day....

Justin's friend has some connections, so he got to wear the Red Sox World Series ring!



A dog-owner's work is never done....



They had so many beautiful details throughout the reception. Alexis Eliopoulos O'Mara and her team were on-hand throughout the day making sure everything went according to plan. Creative Gardens did the flowers....beautiful.





The cake was done by Chickadee Hill Cakes and was stunning.







Love the fans...






Isn't this the coolest engraving??  On the outside!

So here they are in the late afternoon light.....doesn't everyone have a backyard like this?  

Ok, again with the candy bars.  I'm so weak.







See?  I love the spinning!!!




Congratulations you two!  It was a fantastic day.
