Anna and Matt || Peabody Essex Museum || Salem, Massachusetts

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to finally share some images from Anna & Matt's very elegant, but supremely fun at the same time wedding day in Salem. The ceremony and reception were at the Peabody Essex Museum. We started at the hotel as everyone was getting final touches....
I was having total hair envy....her hair looked amazing...





We did all of their pictures before hand in the courtyard behind the museum, so pretty. Flowers by Fino Fresh.

I just love all the old buildings in the background.

Anna and Matt didn't want any distractions during the ceremony, so we kept a super low-profile.  They said they didn't notice us once!  

Apparently, Anna is obsessed with dessert (girl after my own heart).  On the menu, it said "Cake!".   Here it is, before slicing looking lovely, compliments of Icing on the Cake. Yummy food by Vinwood Caterers.

I hope Matt isn't mad at me for posting this, but I absolutely LOVE this picture!  Dancing is hard....








Found this book in the museum...get it?  Anna and Matt?

I am loving the twirly dresses this year.







Paul Natale kept the dance floor hopping, even played Sea Legs by the Shins during cocktail hour, sweet! (and theme appropriate in the East Marine Hall)

OK, so these folks asked if I would take their picture.  They called it the "time of your life" picture.  You face away from the camera, and then at the last second turn around and hey!  you're having the time of your life!  Now, my dad did the same thing at a cookout this summer, he said someone had heard about it in California.  Could someone please tell me where this originated?  I'm dying to know.  $10 itunes gift card to the first person who can tell me.

And the bride got Rick Roll'd! I TOLD you this wedding was supremely fun!




Congratulations you two! I hope your honeymoon was awesome!


**update**

I'm STILL waiting to hear about the "time of your life" picture!!!

Liz and Martin || Moraine Farms || Beverly, Massachusetts

Hello friends and fans, thanks for your patience!  These last few weeks have been packed, and keeping up with the blog is an ongoing pleasure and challenge.  I finally have a few moments to share some more images from Liz and Martin's unique and lovely day.

Let's start with the flowers by Flowers by Darlene.


Liz looked amazing - hair, dress, everything. She was so pleased her hairdresser from Charlestown came all the way up to Marblehead to do her hair. She was going for a vintage look and feel for the day, and I think did a fabulous job.





Her mother is a big fan of antiques, so we utilized some of the furniture (perfectly matched!) to do some interesting bridesmaid pictures.

Then we stepped out into the gardens...cue the breeze.....lovely.






I love this shot of the two of them on the trolley, they just look so happy & relaxed.  It started raining on our way over to Moraine Farm, you know, like it has practically EVERY DAY this month, but no big deal!  


Once we got there, Linnea Tangorra was on hand to make sure everything ran smoothly. We started with a few relaxed portraits in the parlor.



Doesn't this one look timeless?  Although Martin's hip glasses kind of give it away that it's 2008 and not 1914.

Liz had little details like this men's room sign all through out the reception.  It even has their monogram on it!

I love the centerpieces.....

The rain lightened up a bit (didn't stop), so I talked them into a little walk over to the tea house gardens.  Elizabeth's dress was already soaked from the trolley ride over, so she had no problem with it!

It was STILL raining when we took this, so they just threw the umbrella into the bushes for a quick second while I shot it.  Looks nice, no?






Their friend Glenn from Sweet Tooth made the cake, so we had to get a shot of him with his handiwork.

Ok, so the rain finally did stop for a little bit, so we were able to get a few more shots outside, isn't this place amazing?







Cotton candy, anyone?  Totally ate one on the way home.

And by the way, you people are killing me with the candy bars!  I only have so much willpower, you know.








Martin with their super awesome band, Night Shift.




Congrats!!!
