Catherine & Kevin || Willowbend Country Club || North Falmouth, MA

Catherine and Kevin had a great day for their wedding on the Cape, even if there were a FEW raindrops.....

Catherine's mother's friend custom made her gown that fit her like a glove...



I love this series of her mom helping her with her veil - definitely the classic "wow, this is really happening!" moment...

Kevin getting a look at his bride for the first time -






So, I was trying to get a shot of the groomsmen's shoes because I thought they were interesting, and then a few troublemakers started hiking up their pants!



The bride's family gives a number to each new member, and Kevin was lucky number #99. They made team pins for everyone! (Thanks to Kathryn, a 2006 client of mine, for being my model!)



We went down to the beach for a few pictures, who need sun??







The bridal party had a trolley to take them to reception, driven by Tes of Trolleys by Tes. She was very accomodating, allowing us some extra time to make our stops. Thanks Tes!



We make it to the beautiful Willowbend Country Club, and it starts to rain!! It was definitely disappointing because they have some amazing grounds, but it did give me a chance to whip out my new rainbow umbrella!



The guests were perfectly happy inside the gorgeous ballroom.



Catherine did what I had planned on doing for my wedding but never got around to it....beaches for table names.


This is how the bridal party made their entrance - love it!








I walked into the ballroom and saw a friend of mine from junior high playing the saxophone - so random!




The groomsmen's ties were Vineyard Vines. It took me awhile to clue in that they were covered in tiny Cape Cods!



Ok, this guy was Trouble. (get it, with a capital T?)



The crew from Bentley...





The Marsels got everyone on the dance floor all night.



I mostly took this picture because I thought it looked like a really cool present!




Congratulations Catherine and Kevin!!!

a little relaxing on cape cod....

We had some time to go down the cape recently, and had gorgeous weather. I also had Arnold's, Sundae School ice cream, and Villa Pizza, so how could that be a bad trip???




So, one of my MOST challenging subjects is my daughter Lee. I think she's beautiful, but she tends to make these wacky faces that make it difficult to get a traditionally great picture of her....here's a few examples....




Anyway, I stick with it long enough, and I'm able to get something...



Jonah on the other hand.....the camera loves him.


We went out to Coast Guard Beach in the evening (much less crowded, and very pretty light!). Stephen and Jonah checked out the surfers. Stephen used to own the Pump House in Orleans, and is hoping that Lee & Jonah will be surfing with him soon!






I can't wait to get back down to the cape this weekend to shoot Catherine & Kevin's wedding at Willowbend Country Club in Mashpee. Their family is so fun, and not only will there be past clients there, but clients from this coming summer, as well!
