I have no doubt that this one rose to one of Megan’s all time favorites!

Adam & Megan wanted to bring one of their favorite Boston treats, Mike’s Cannoli’s in lieu of a wedding cake. The fresh cannoli’s arrived that morning which gave the bridesmaids one last important task, who can fill the most the fastest!

A North Shore Wedding Celebration {chelsea & greg}

June 28, 2012 Weddings

Chelsea and Greg’s affection for literature was the springboard to inspiration that every wedding needs. Maybe it’s the romance of letting your mind transport to new places or perhaps the endless possibilities of new paths you can reach within written word that captivates us. Regardless of what the reasons are, who doesn’t love a great story filled with glorious detail!? Chelsea took her vision and teamed up with the creative talent of Sash & Bow to make her love of all things books and birdies memorable for every guest {just look at the hand created birdie place cards}.

Enjoy, and when you’re looking for a little inspiration to guide your wedding plans, look within. Where do you shop? What colors fill your closet? What is your go-to brand for fabulous home decor? Where do you enjoy hanging out with the love of your life? What savory and sweets do you crave most? The answers to these questions will surely guide you to the perfect celebration for the union of two.

Chelsea was such a beautiful bride. It’s an incredible feeling to step into your wedding dress the day of your wedding knowing THIS IS IT!

The handsome groom:

Pulling off a serious look isn’t as easy as it looks!

Greg was so giddy to see his bride walk down the aisle. The look he flashed his brother and best man says it all!

And talk about an emotional wedding! Chelsea’s brother was so happy for her!

I think Chelsea got a little excited herself 🙂

One of my favorites from the ceremony.

A welcome kiss from Greg’s mother.

Hands.

A fun little wedding party photo including a cool summer breeze.

And start the details. Chelsea’s English Major played a big role in directing their wedding theme. She had a photo booth for her guests (a must have!) and had them type up a little well wishes card for their Guest Book.

North Shore Golf Course always does an amazing job of presenting a wedding. The lighting is superb, food amazing and Mike makes you feel like family.

Chelsea’s beloved cake topper birds… adorable!

And my favorite part of the day… spending a little romantic time with the newly wed couple and creating their works of art.

If you have your photographer around at sunset PLEASE make it a point to go enjoy your sunset. It’s the most beautiful time of day and will be a bit of alone time for you to enjoy. You will not regret it.

I love photographing First Dances, especially at North Shore. So romantic and everything a wedding should be.

One final random image… when you get word that the groom can do a backflip you do something about it.

A Cape Cod Wedding :: Part 4/4 {carrie & stasia}

February 15, 2012 Cinematography, day after session, Weddings

We hope you have enjoyed living this special day through our artistic interpretation. If you have not already taken the time, in 1 of 4 we began to showcase the beauty Cape Cod brought to the girls wedding celebration. In 2 of 4 we shared a little highlight of the cinematic artistry we were creating–a lasting film memory to compliment the photographic imagery. Within 3 of 4 we really sought to inspire creativity and showcase the importance of hand selected vendors.

This brings us to the last of Carrie & Stasia’s amazing event. For destination wedding couples, offering a creative day after session allows us all to continue the fun from the previous day as well as have some relaxed time to get portraits in settings that there simply wasn’t time to include on the wedding day! These sessions can be whatever you dream & a wonderful excuse to get another wear out of your wedding attire, minus the shoes! In this day after session, happy with bare feet, we were really able to capture the playful flirtations that emanate from true love. The late afternoon sun was the perfect compliment to the girls basking in the glow of their post wedding day bliss. Carrie had stated it in her vows the previous day and it so perfectly tied into our last afternoon together, “and your love embraces me like this gorgeous sun today”

We are truly blessed with the amazing couples that find us. Although we feel we can never thank them enough, our hopes are that through our eyes, they forever remember the love and good times shared on their wedding day. And in this case, in the days surrounding.
