There’s something magical about a coastal wedding, especially when it’s set at a location that holds a deep, personal significance. For Cat and Tommy, the stunning Salter’s Point in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, was more than just a wedding venue – it was a place woven into the fabric of their family’s history. With over three generations of memories shared in this beautiful coastal town, their choice to marry at this special spot was a natural one. Their intimate celebration, complete with a breathtaking sailcloth Sperry tent, was the perfect reflection of their love for each other and the place that brought them together.
Nestled along the shores of Buzzards Bay, this picturesque location offers a stunning backdrop for any couple seeking an unforgettable wedding experience. As a New England wedding photographer, I’m constantly amazed by how this part of Massachusetts offers a balance of serene natural beauty and intimate family history – something that Cat and Tommy were able to celebrate in every aspect of their wedding.
Cat got ready in her family’s beach cottage, a property that has been in Cat’s family for over three generations. The cottage represents a living memory of family gatherings, traditions, and shared milestones. This rich history made it all the more meaningful when Cat and Tommy chose to say their vows just steps away.
The couple’s wedding weekend was thoughtfully curated to make the most of everything Salter’s Point had to offer. They began with an intimate ceremony at a local family church, keeping their celebration grounded in tradition and family. After exchanging vows, guests were invited to a cocktail hour on the lawn overlooking the stunning Buzzards Bay, an absolutely picturesque setting. The gentle sea breeze, the golden light shimmering off the water, and the stunning coastal views all created a serene and romantic atmosphere.
