Private Estate Wedding on Boston's North Shore

It’s always a treat to photograph a wedding on my “home turf”, here on the historic North Shore of Massachusetts. It’s even more exciting to work with couples who also share a special connection to this coastal part of the state. When Cari & Cam contacted me to share details about their family centered wedding celebration hosted at a gorgeous private estate here on the North Shore I was thrilled. Full of charm and beautifully decorated, the expansive property offered a unique experience to Cari & Cam’s guests, many who were traveling from across the country to celebrate with the couple.

Expertly designing and executing the day was the team behind Prepped and Primped. Hues of creams, blues and greens accented the lush garden landscape of the estate. Guests danced the night away under a clear tent with perfect views of the starry sky above. Cari & Cam made their grand exit in a family friend’s vintage convertible - it was truly a night to remember!

Summer Wedding at Turner Hill with Prepped & Primped

Matt & Katie’s North Shore wedding was one for the books - on a perfect summer day they finally tied the knot in a personal ceremony in Marblehead, after waiting over two years for the moment to arrive. Thanks to the pandemic, their original plans had to be postponed but when the day finally came, Matt and Katie along with their loved ones, were beyond ready to celebrate this special couple.

Lovers of golf, they selected Turner Hill for is historic and charming estate nestled amongst on of the best golf courses on the North Shore. They leaned heavily into a classic & timeless style with preppy, nautical touches throughout, tying back to the coastal vibe of the North Shore.

For me, the BEST part of their day with the endless smiles. From the moment the day began to the final song on the dance floor, Matt & Katie could not keep their joy contained. Their warm and inviting personalities ensured everyone felt at ease and ready to celebrate, making sure each person who attended felt loved. They embraced their day with unreserved joy and appreciation.

The Beauport Hotel & Marblehead Wedding Photos

On a gorgeous August afternoon, Megan got ready for her wedding surrounded by family & friends in a light filled suite at the Beauport Hotel . Overlooking the Pavilion Beach and Gloucester Harbor, the sounds of summer filled the room as a cool breeze and bright sun drifted in through their balcony. In adjourning suite, Luke got ready with his two sons as the sounds of giggles and laughter seeped through their door.

After an emotional First Look at the Beauport Hotel, the couple and their loved ones made their way over to Marblehead and Fort Sewall for the intimate ceremony. Overlooking Marblehead Harbor, Meg & Luke recited personal and heartfelt vows. Officiated by a friend, it was a personal and meaningful moment for the couple and everyone who was present felt that magnitude of that moment together.

Megan & Luke’s wedding day was one of simplicity - focused on the sweet moments shared together. Family was at the center and they made sure that Luke’s sons played an important role throughout the day. Each minute was savored, enjoyed and celebrated. It was an absolute joy and honor to help them document and savor the day through these images.

Singing Beach Club Wedding Photos

Though downsized from their original plan, Colby & Jen made sure that every moment of their wedding day was magical - and it truly was. Their joy to be together is infectious and the intimate nature of their celebration meant that they could share that joy with each guest who attended. To witness the small and big moments they celebrated together was such an honor and made capturing their day so much fun.

Each with close ties to the North Shore, Colby & Jen chose details and locations that reflect this unique part of Massachusetts. Jen got ready in the home she and Colby share together, a historic carriage house with classic New England touches. Colby prepped for the day at his childhood home not far from the beach and their venue.

For the ceremony and reception Colby & Jen chose the Singing Beach Club, a private beach club located directly on the shore of Singing Beach. The club’s location provides sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and offers a classic beach club feel with accents of vibrant navy and crisp white. The manicured and private grounds were an intimate respite for their ceremony and cocktail party on the lawn. With a paired down guest list Colby & Jen were able to greet each of their guests, sharing laughs and hugs with deep appreciation to be together.

Some of my favorite moments of the year were captured during Jen & Colby’s celebration - the genuine joy and happiness to celebrate amidst such an uncertain and challenging year was an honor to photograph.

Private Estate Wedding on Boston's North Shore

I knew from our initial meeting together that Jared & Willoughby were going to plan an incredible wedding day, beginning with the location for their celebration. Hosted on Willoughby's family farm, Jared & Will thoughtfully planned their wedding to emphasize and celebrate the beautiful location and the natural beauty that encompassed the area, something very important to them. They also wanted to ensure that their guests were given a meaningful and memorable experience. Working with the amazing team at Chive Events they pulled together a breathtaking celebration that focused on sustainable and locally sourced details. From the florals to the the food and even the wine served throughout the day, each detail was thoughtfully and carefully chosen for a specific reason. 

That is the kind of people Jared & Willoughby are. A couple who are independent and unique in their own right and together bring a sense of purpose and authenticity to whatever situation they are in. I greatly appreciated the thought and care they placed on their wedding day and how they communicated to their guests what this day meant to them as a couple. It was a day to celebrate and bring together their families and loved ones and honor their respective family heritage. 

For example, Willoughby wore a family heirloom, her wedding gown. She was the 12th Bride to wear the beautiful gown that has been passed down through the generations from the 19th century. Jared excitedly and ceremoniously cut the wedding cake with a family sword. Willoughby's parents hosted the event on their farm, a piece of property that has been in the family for generations. How meaningful to have so many pieces of family history!!

Willoughby & Jared, thank you for entrusting us to document this special day -- it was incredible!! Enjoy some of my favorite images!!

Summer Wedding at Misselwood Estate at Endicott College

Lauren & Mike had a quintessential New England summer day for their wedding at Misselwood Estate earlier this month. Not a cloud in the sky with a cool breeze that drifted off the water's edge. Lauren and Mike had planned their wedding from Virginia and with the help of Lauren's Mom, every detail came together perfectly on the day of their wedding.

Misselwood Estate is a special place - tucked away on the coast of Beverly it offers spectacular views of Beverly and Salem Harbor and the coastline of Marblehead. For these two, the ocean plays a big part in their relationship and lives (they even named their dog Salty, love it!), so being right on the water was the perfect setting for their wedding. Plus it was a wonderful introduction to New England for their out of state guests. 

Lauren & Mike, thank you for inviting my team to be a part of your incredible day. We loved celebrating with you and your loved ones and I hope that these images will serve as precious memories to you in the years to come!! Enjoy some of my favorites!!

Jenny & Bradley desired to throw a garden inspired wedding day full of whimsical charm. From the hand made "bunny garden" that held their escort cards to their palette of light blue and pink pastels, their day felt like a fairytale set amongst the beautiful wooded estate of Moraine Farm.

Jenny & Bradley are both dancers, each with their own unique artistic abilities and talents. They thoughtfully incorporated their love of dance and art into the day through subtle ways, including their beautifully choreographed first dance. 

Jenny & Bradley, thank you for including us in your spectacular day!! Enjoy my favorite images of the day!!

The Best of 2016 : Florals & Bouquets

Today kicks of my favorite series of the year, The Best Of!! Each year I share the best of engagements, portraits & weddings through a series of blog posts highlighting the amazing celebrations, couples and families I've had the honor of working with over the past year.

I've even had the opportunity to take several floral workshops over this past year (fun = designing your very own floral crown!). I especially love when clients share my love of blooms -- nothing makes my heart pitter patter more than a glorious oversized wedding bouquet ;)!! 

To celebrate my love of all things beautiful and flowery, today I will be kicking of the 2016 Best of series with the Best of Florals & Bouquets. I'll be sharing links below of the amazing creatives I've had the opportunity to work with as well, in case you're in search of a talented floral designer!! Now on to all the pretty!!
