Elegant Spring Wedding at The Crane Estate

Originally from the Midwest, Mary Beth & James, envisioned their wedding day to be one of bringing their two families together all while sharing with them the unique beauty that is the North Shore of Massachusetts. The Crane Estate with its historic mansion, manicured gardens and sweeping view of Crane Beach, offered their guests a luxurious experience all while introducing them the beauty that is New England in the summer.

Elegant Crane Estate Wedding

James & Mary Beth’s black tie affair filled was with meaningful touches throughout - such as the Omega Moonwatch from Radcliffe Jewelers gifted to the groom, the heartfelt toasts shared by their parents or the heirloom engagement ring purchased at the same store James’s parents purchased their own engagement ring years before.

Mary Beth chose a palette of forrest green to accent the day, which complimented the gorgeous natural backdrop of the Crane Estate. Soft florals filled the tented reception while a delicious array of passed hors d'oeuvres entertained guests during cocktail hour.

As one who is from New England may know, weather is always variable, no matter the time of year. So when presented with a beautiful day, one does not take it for granted. Mary Beth & James has a gorgeous spring day, punctuated with a cotton candy pink sunset - the perfect ending to a perfect day.

Crane Estate Wedding

Rachael & Matt chose the beautiful Crane Estate for their wedding earlier this fall. As the sun slowly set on the Grande Allée, surrounded by their family and friends, they said their vows. Guests sipped on cocktails and hot cider on the back porch as the candles lit the evening. Their bridal party were a vision in creams, blues and grays. It was their own version of a perfect fairytale…

Crane Estate Engagement Session

On a overcast spring afternoon I met with Maggie and Jack at the beautiful Crane Estate for their engagement session. Maggie and Jack will be getting married next year at an estate in Ipswich and so they wanted their engagement session to reflect the the history and beachy feel of this seaside town. The Crane Estate is sprawling with tremendous views in almost every direction. It was a treat to explore the beautiful property with Maggie and Jack and admire the lovely architectural details and beauty of this place. 

Just down the street is one of my favorite places, Crane Beach. After a quick outfit change we headed to the beach for a more relaxed vibe. Snuggled up in sweaters, Maggie and Jack enjoyed the nearly empty beach and bravely dipped their toes in the chilly Atlantic waters!! The overcast skies, empty beach and these two made for a romantic ending to a beautiful session!!

Kenny & Megan's Castle Hill at Crane Estate Engagement Session

While they had known each other all throughout college, Megan and Kenny's love story began the night before graduation. Now two years later they spend their time split between romantic dates in the kitchen, cozy nights cuddling on the couch and outings with family and friends. Megan and Kenny are getting married next May and yet Megan has almost all of the planning done, fully intending to enjoy their engagement together, stress free. On Friday these two relaxed love birds spent the day wandering the property at Castle Hill at the Crane Estates wrapped in each others arms, enjoying each stress free moment.

This needs to be a HUGE canvas somewhere!!

A Preview of Kenny & Megan's Engagement at Castle Hill

You know you'll get along well with a couple when suddenly in the middle of shooting you start quoting lines from the Office (and they laugh at all your jokes;)). On Friday, Megan, Kenny and I walked the property of the BEAUTIFUL Castle Hill at the Crane Estate in Ipswich. More to come from this beautiful engagement session on Thursday, but for now a sneak peek into our afternoon together. Enjoy!
