I’m photographing Jocelyn and Kyle’s wedding this coming November and had been due to shoot their engagement session a month or so ago, but with the cold temperatures and the snow still blanketing most of Boston and New England, we decided to hold off until things warmed up a tad! This past Saturday we were paid back for the wait, with some warm spring sunshine, that made the whole experience far more pleasant!
BOSTON SEAPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION
Starting off at their home, meant that Maggie could join in on a couple of the photos and that we could get some of their everyday locations in on the shoot as well! I always find it’s nice to incorporate a sense of home and familiarity into your photos when possible.
BOSTON SEAPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION
Not to mention that just around the corner was the chance for some great backdrops to their Boston engagement session!!
BOSTON SEAPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION
I love to keep on the move when shooting engagement sessions in Boston as there is always something new to experience or a different angle to take, and just occasionally you get the odd photo-bomber in on the action as well!
BOSTON SEAPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION
It also gives me the chance to check out new parts of town that I haven’t come across before! I love a good skyline view and this was the first time that I had been to this spot and seen Boston from up here. I couldn’t resist but add a few well known Boston architectural landmarks into the background.
BOSTON SEAPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION
From here we moved down the hill a bit and ended up on the waterfront, in the Seaport District, a favorite area of mine for capturing both landscape photos of the city as well as engagement portraits. In a short walking distance, you have a real variety of settings to work with and the opportunity to build a great set of images.
BOSTON SEAPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSIONBOSTON SEAPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION
After that long cold winter that never felt it was going to end, it was so nice to be out with the sun shining and the grass glowing with color! I didn’t think that we were going to see the ground again until the end of the summer!!
BOSTON SEAPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION
Really looking forward to catching up with you both at the end of the year and hope you both have a wonderful summer :)

Thanks for stopping by! If you’re looking for wedding and engagement photography in the New England area, then I would love to hear from you! Don’t forget to stop by and “like” the Facebook page as well for more updates over there too.
It’s been a while since I posted on my blog… It is not because I don’t have any new photos to show you. On the contrary, I have had one of the busiest summers as a photographer this year, and I’ve been lucky enough to spend more time behind the camera and getting images out to all the great couples and clients that I have worked with. With that said it really is about time I added a few new images on the blog, so we’re back with a bang!
PHILLY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – K & N
As the colder temperatures draw in, I thought I would take you back to those slightly warmer days when it was shorts and t-shirt weather! I am already waiting for those to come around again, and we have only just begun the winter season in earnest.
PHILLY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – K & N
I had the great pleasure of photographing Kellie and Nick’s engagement session in their hometown of Philadelphia! They are getting married on the Cape next summer (ah, warm weather!) but they wanted to capture some images together in the town they are currently living and why not? It’s home for them, after all! Kellie dropped me a line and asked if it would be possible for me to travel down to Philly to get those photos, and I happily agreed! It was really great getting to explore the town with them and I think we did a pretty decent job of getting some great photos on our journey as well.
PHILLY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – K & N
Philly, much like Boston, has some really nice unexpected locations – as well as some regular favorites – when it comes to engagement photos. It was nice going around with some seasoned locals, but it was also nice to spot some new spaces and come across locations that were not on the radar for any of us.
PHILLY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – K & N
Sometimes you get the best engagement or weddings photos in the least expected locations, so I was constantly on the lookout for that next shot as we walked through town.
PHILLY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – K & N
It was a quick few hours in town with Kellie and Nick before flying back to Boston, but well worth it! I can’t wait to catch up with them next year on the Cape and meet all their friends and family for their big day!

In the meantime if you’re looking for engagement or wedding photos and are based somewhere in this world then let me know, always happy to travel to you! :)
In this seemingly endless, frigid winter, it seems like so long ago when Fernando and Vanessa had their lovely Ritz Carlton Boston Common wedding with the ceremony at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in the South End, but it was only at the end of last summer. Roberto had previously shot their engagement photos on the bank of the Charles River in the spring, and on another warm day at the end of August, Roberto Farren Photography had the special privilege of joining Fernando and Vanessa as they said their vows and celebrated their marriage in an intimate ceremony and reception in Boston.
RITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&F
We first met up with Vanessa, who looked absolutely breathtaking in a romantic gown that was made just for her. A pale pink sash, headpiece and flowing veil completed the look, and she looked every inch the perfect bride.
RITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&F
Her maid of honor helped add the final touches with some simple but elegant jewelry and a spritz of perfume, and then we headed down to meet Fernando.
RITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&F
The first look was held in the dramatic Avery Bar with close family looking on. As usual, I was blurry with tears, but Roberto got busy capturing some lovely images of the couple seeing each other for the first time before their wedding. They posed for a few snaps at the hotel, and then we were lucky enough to have the couple all to ourselves for over an hour before the ceremony.
RITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&F
This gave us the chance to head out to Boston Common and Boston Public gardens, and since it was a beautiful, not too muggy evening there were loads of people there enjoying the warm, end-of-summer evening.
RITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&FRITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&F
I don’t think there has ever been a couple with as many ‘Congratulations!’ wished to them by strangers as Vanessa and Fernando… they were literally stopping the crowds, and there’s no guess as to why! They both looked stunning, and with the mild evening light, and happy celebration just around the corner, their love shone through.
RITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&F
Roberto captured some beautiful wedding day images of the couple throughout our walk around Boston Common and Boston Public Gardens, then we headed back for the wedding.
RITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&F
The Cathedral of the Holy Cross is a stunning place to be married, and while it is a larger space, Fernando and Vanessa’s family and friends all crowded to the front to be close to the couple. The ceremony was in both English and Spanish, and after they were pronounced husband and wife, the family stayed for photographs in the beautiful center aisle.
RITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&F
Back at the Ritz for the reception, we quickly learned that Fernando is a big Game of Thrones fan! Tables were named for the main families in the books/TV series, and Fernando wore the ‘Hand of the King’ pin next to his boutonnière.
RITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&FRITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&FRITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&F
Fernando and Vanessa’s family and friends shared a delicious meal and even more delicious desserts before taking to the dance floor. The mix of American and Mexican pop music meant that no one left the dance floor, not even to check out the return of the New York Yankees, who also stayed at the Ritz while playing the Boston Red Sox that weekend.
RITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&FRITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&FRITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&F
Roberto stole Vanessa and Fernando away from the dance floor one last time towards the end of the night to take some last portraits together in the wonderful spaces that were to be found at the Ritz Carlton.
RITZ CARLTON BOSTON COMMON WEDDING | V&F
Thanks for stopping by. If you have plans to get married at the Ritz Carlton Boston Common or another one of the cities wonderful venues then don’t hesitate to get in touch with Roberto to talk about coverage options for your big day.
All the very best to Vanessa and Fernando and it was really great meeting all their friends and family too.
Kristin and Mike were married last Fall in Newburyport, MA and celebrated their day at Tupper Manor, located on the coast in Beverly MA. I met with Kristin and Mike early in January 2013, and I knew I wanted to shoot their wedding straight away! They were very relaxed and laid back and had a great day planned out and when they got back to me to let me know they wanted to book me, it was great being able to mark that date in my calendar!
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
On the day, I started out with Kristin and the girls who were getting ready in Newburyport, just down the road from Kristin’s parents home. They had the run of the Hair Port Salon and it was great to be able to move through the space to capture candid photos from lots of different angles. Kristin had an awesome birdcage veil that she looked absolutely stunning in, and I couldn’t wait to photograph her in it. Hair Port Salon did a beautiful job with her hair and makeup, and once this was all done it was back to the house to change into the dress.
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDINGKRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
Kristin’s parents were a two minute drive away, so it was an easy start to the day’s travels. Once we were back, it gave me the chance to capture Kristin’s very unique and elegant wedding dress by Jenny Packham. Meticulously covered in beads and sequins, it was a one of a kind, classic dress. Once Kristin was all set, added the final touch of some gorgeous antique flower earrings, I had a bit of time to get some shots of her in the dress and looking fab!
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
From here, I left ahead of Kristin as I wanted to check in with Mike for the first time that day. He was already over at the church and I wanted to get some photos of him and his best man before the ceremony. It was a beautiful day out, one of those autumnal days that aren’t too hot or too cold and I found the guys hanging out at one of the side entrances to the church. Mike had said he wasn’t a big one for having his photo taken, but I wanted to get him a good selection of images from the day! I think and hope it wasn’t as painful as he thought it was going to be, and I quickly got some shots of the boys looking dapper.
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
I left him to relax and hang out a little more while I got some more photos inside and at the front of the church as guests started to arrive. Once Kristin and the girls pulled up, it was time to get to the front to capture her as she came down the aisle. The Star of the Sea Church in Salisbury MA is a wonderful little church with some really great colors in the architecture, and it gave me the chance to capture some great photos from lots of different angles.
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
Once the ceremony was completed, Mike and Kristin left as husband and wife and it was time to jump in the cars and head down to Tupper Manor to get the bridal portraits – and more importantly – get the party started! The bridal party was really fun, and a pleasure to work with. We got most of the photos at the front of Tupper Manor near the big and elaborate entrance which made for a great back drop. We even managed some sunglass and moustache shots as well!
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDINGKRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDINGKRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
We were then lucky enough to be able to take Mike and Kristin aside for a while and get some shots of them together. Tupper Manor has some really spectacular locations – both in the buildings and in the grounds – all within a quick walk, so you don’t lose too much time between places. We started at the grand ornamental fountain on the lawn – you can’t get married at Tupper Manor and not get at least a few there! After that, we moved inside to the oak paneled billiards room. This made for a nice change of scene and meant that they also had the chance to grab a bite to eat and some well needed refreshments. As I knew they would be when I had met them, they were both super relaxed and very fun to photograph!
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDINGKRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
There were some pretty impressive entrances to the main room as the family and bridal party were announced, including the maid of honor coming in on the best man’s shoulders and busting out some dance moves!
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDINGKRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
After Kristin and Mike had eaten and the speeches were done, I snuck them out to the back of Tupper Manor and down to the beach. Yes, they have a beach in their backyard! I wasn’t lying about the number of great locations that are so close by! It’s nice to be able to space out the portraits a little so that they can time to spend with friends and family but still get a good selection of images afterwards. It was a great place to get some final images of the two of them together, and the setting autumn sun gave us the very best light of the day.
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
They partied on into the night in the main ballroom to some wonderful live music by the East Coast Soul Band and DJ. They even had a young family member get up and sing her heart out with the band, much to Kristin, Mike and all the guests’ delight!
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
Thank you so much Kristin and Mike for letting me capture your day. It has been really fun looking back over your wedding and putting this blog together. I hope that you both enjoy looking back at the images together as much as I have!
KRISTIN AND MIKE | TUPPER MANOR WEDDING
If you are getting married at Tupper Manor this year or next then please get in touch, I’m waiting to hear what you have planned for your big day!
I have photographed a few proposals in Boston, and have come to really enjoy them. Garrett had been in touch and told me about his plans to propose to his girlfriend Megan in mid-November last year, and I jumped at the chance to get them these photos, no matter how cold it was going to be out in December!
BOSTON PROPOSAL PHOTOS | GARRETT AND MEGAN
Garrett had an excellent excuse for his proposal, as he was taking Megan out for her birthday and had said he had arranged a hotel and dinner in Boston for her. The plan was coming together nicely! Megan, not suspecting anything, was happy to head into town to celebrate her birthday with Garrett and hoped to catch a show as well as a few other things he had planned. Although she was in on these ideas, she definitely wasn’t filled in on the whole picture.
BOSTON PROPOSAL PHOTOS | GARRETT AND MEGAN
I arrived ahead of them both to make sure that I would see them coming and could get snapping from a not too obvious location, in order to photograph the whole proposal without Megan knowing. A quick text from Garrett gave the signal that the operation was a “go” and that they were heading directly towards me, where I was based in front of the Boston Public Library. I managed to get some shots of them off as they walked down the street towards me and then passed straight by me. So far so good!
BOSTON PROPOSAL PHOTOS | GARRETT AND MEGAN
Garrett and Megan stopped outside the Boston Public library and Garrett gave me a second to loop around to make sure I could be in the right place when he popped the question. It didn’t take me too long to get where I needed to be and Garrett did the rest! Safe to say Megan was surprised, and of course, she said yes as well!
BOSTON PROPOSAL PHOTOS | GARRETT AND MEGAN
I like to give couples time after the asking of the “big question” before jumping on in to congratulate them. After a few minutes, I did just that and I think by that point Megan might have sussed out my part in the plot as well.
BOSTON PROPOSAL PHOTOS | GARRETT AND MEGANBOSTON PROPOSAL PHOTOS | GARRETT AND MEGAN
We headed into the Boston Public Library to get some great Boston engagement photos as well, making the most of the snowy and somewhat icy, but very beautiful courtyard that they have in the center of the older library buildings. It gave me the chance to get some images for Garrett and Megan on their special day, before leaving them to share the news with friends and family and have a great weekend together in the wonderful city of Boston.
BOSTON PROPOSAL PHOTOS | GARRETT AND MEGAN
All the very best to the both of you and your future together, and thank you Garrett for trusting me to capture this awesome moment between you two.
If you are thinking about a proposal in or around Boston and want photos to remember that very special moment and to relive the emotions afterwards, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch. There’s nothing I like better than an undercover mission!
At the beginning of December, I had just come back from a great trip home to London over Thanksgiving and was planning on getting settled back in Boston for the run into Christmas. I had been back a week when I met up with Nikki, awesome lead photographer over at Nicole Chan Photography and her other half Jason Loeb to celebrate his birthday at Sweet Cheeks in Fenway (which if you haven’t been to, you need to ASAP!!).
ZION NATIONAL PARK PHOTOGRAPHY TRIP 2013
I love hanging around with these guys for lots of reasons, with just one of them being their spontaneity. I’m always one for a last minute, unplanned trip and I feel hanging around with these guys always has the potential for something of this nature. Well, sitting there opposite Jason, the conversation (aided by a beer and maybe a whiskey) quickly turned to a trip out West within the next week. Having never been out there and it being on my list of places to absolutely get to, I didn’t take much convincing. With Jason being an avid landscape photographer himself and shooting panoramas on a Linhof 617s, that was it, trip on!! My lovely wife Erin wasn’t going to miss out on a trip like this either, and after a little convincing from her sister, she was booked on the flight with us.
ZION NATIONAL PARK PHOTOGRAPHY TRIP 2013
We flew just over a week later into Las Vegas and after a quick trip into town for a gelato hit and a look in the Peter Lik gallery for inspiration, we hit the road en route to Zion National Park and Zion Ponderosa Ranch where we were staying……….where we were the only ones staying! Winter in this part of Utah doesn’t pull too many tourists, but with scenery like that, any time of year makes it great to visit for landscape photography and I might even add better for it without the crowds of people around.
ZION NATIONAL PARK PHOTOGRAPHY TRIP 2013ZION NATIONAL PARK PHOTOGRAPHY TRIP 2013
Arriving late at night meant that we hadn’t had the chance to scout out a location for a sunrise shoot the very next morning, but we had done a little pre-trip research. We decided that a visit to Grafton, a well known ghost town and location to some of the scenes in the film “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” might be a good place to start our shoot for the day. With just two sunrises and two sunsets to shoot, we really had to make the most of it and I think that for the time we had, we did just that.
ZION NATIONAL PARK PHOTOGRAPHY TRIP 2013ZION NATIONAL PARK PHOTOGRAPHY TRIP 2013
Despite the light not being as perfect during the day as you get during the “golden hour” in the morning and evening, we continued exploring some of the rest of the park and getting more images in. It’s hard not to stop every five minutes to get the cameras out again, and we covered lots of the areas that were accessible to us. We also had the chance to view some of the local wildlife, seeing plenty of mule deer, long horn sheep, ringtail cats and even spotting some mountain lion tracks! With some of the hikes and paths being closed due to snow and ice conditions we were still able to bag a good selection of images and get some ideas for when we get the chance to head back there again, hopefully in the not too distant future!

Also you might want to check out some photos of another one of our traveling companions, Trev, who populated my Erin’s instagram feed after stowing away in a delivery from photojojo just a day or so before we left.
Welcome back to part 2 of Alexa and Michael’s engagement shoot in Boston, if you hadn’t yet seen part one, check it out here now! So after finishing at the Public Garden (where I could have shot all day with these two) we had a quick caffeine hit and an outfit change up before heading to the picturesque streets of Beacon Hill!
BEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL
Alexa and Michael both had an idea of some locations and when they had initially spoken with me over e-mail Beacon Hill jumped out and would incorporate a lot of these. An outfit change between the Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill also gave a nice change in feel to the photos between the two places as well. I can say again how much fun it was getting all these photos with these two :)
BEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL
No engagement session in Beacon Hill would really be complete without a few photos on the famous Acorn Street as well!
BEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAELBEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL
Thank you to both Alexa and Michael for allowing me to capture these images for you both here in Boston, it was a real pleasure meeting you and I wish you all the very best for the future together!
BOSTON PUBLIC GARDENS ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL
WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHS: ROBERTO FARREN
Alexa and Michael got in touch with me early fall to see about getting some engagement photos in and around Boston before all the color disappeared from the trees. They are both not Boston locals so it was really nice to be able to get them some photos together in their new city. As someone that has moved to the area fairly recently myself it is nice to chat with others that have relocated to this wonderful city and get their impressions as well. We picked the Boston Public Gardens and Beacon Hill (part 2 coming soon) for the setting and backdrop of their engagement photos, two place that I really love shooting at.
BOSTON PUBLIC GARDEN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL
The Boston Public Gardens are a great location for engagement photos, with a number of smaller locations inside that give you a range of feel to your photos. You can get intimate images as well as photos that bring the crowds and other people into them as well to give you something completely different. The stonework of the bridge over the duck pond is really nice and within 20 feet you have two very different locations, on and under the bridge. The colors in the trees were really nice still at the time of the shoot and so gave an added color punch to the photos too.
BOSTON PUBLIC GARDEN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL
It was really great fun meeting and photographing Alexa and Michael and it was clear from the start that they were both very comfortable with each other in front of the camera. It can take a while to get used to having your photos taken on an engagement shoot, this isn’t something that you do every day. I try and make my engagement sessions as relaxed as possible as this really lets peoples characters come out and it seemed clear to me very quickly that these guys were very happy together.
BOSTON PUBLIC GARDEN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL
You can’t head to the Boston public gardens for engagement photos and not include those great willow trees into at least a handful of the images!
BOSTON PUBLIC GARDEN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL
It would have been easy to have not included any black and white photos in the set of final images, with all the wonderful color that was popping on the trees but I really love to deliver a mix of both formats. I think the black and whites photos give a really nice quality and atmosphere to images.
BOSTON PUBLIC GARDEN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL
We finished up inside the public gardens on the bridge over the duck pond to capture some of the crowds of people, before heading outside to make use of the railings that surround it. This was our last stop before heading on over to Beacon Hill for a costume change and a completely different feel to the second half of their sitting.

Welcome back for Part 2 of Chris and Brigitte’s recent wedding at Wychmere Beach Club in Harwich Port on Cape Cod. Click here for Part 1.
WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOS
Chris and Brigitte had obviously taken great care with the details of the wedding reception, and everything from the Antique window frames that were used as a seating chart to the red and white take-away candy buffet looked amazing.
WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOS
Instead of a guest book, friends and families wrote their wishes for the couple on postcards and “mailed” them in an old-fashioned lobster trap. The postcards, which contained images from Roberto’s landscape photography collection and featured urban landscapes of Boston and Cambridge and coastal shots from throughout the Cape, were also used as wedding favors for guests.
WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOS
Early in Part 1, I mentioned that this wedding in particular had me feeling particularly teary at times, and it was Chris’ speech that snuck up and got me, when I was supposed to be in the next room scouting for detail shots. He spoke with such love and humor about Brigitte, and their parents, families and friends. Chris and Brigitte currently live away from both of their families in Switzerland, and Roberto and I have both lived far away from our families over the course of our relationship, so I related very closely to Chris’s heartfelt words, as they reflected a lot of my relationship with Roberto. He spoke so beautifully about his love for Brigitte and about his gratitude for the trust that both of their families had granted them to take care of each other when they made the decision to move abroad, that I found myself getting simultaneously smiley and blurry. I’m sure this confused the extremely efficient and helpful wait staff at Wychmere, but alas, it was a lovely speech, and I certainly wasn’t the only one that was searching blindly for a tissue by the end of it.
WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOSWYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOS
Tears aside, it was time for a fantastic meal followed soon by some fantastic dancing. Chris and Brigitte put together a wonderful playlist, and friends and family alike were soon getting down on the dancefloor, which overlooked Wychmere Harbor and the impressive sailboats docked within.
WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOS
After the reception finished, there was one last set of shots to get… We snagged the newlyweds for a few more portraits in the dunes, and then joined the rest of the wedding party as they walked down the beach towards the hotel. The setting sun provided some great light, and the photos of the group strolling along the shore looked much more like a magazine photo shoot than the last shots of the day for a wedding. We hope that you all had a great time celebrating well into the night, and congratulations Chris and Brigitte!
WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOS
If you are planning your New England wedding day at Wychmere Beach Club or any other location either on the Cape or back up in Boston then don’t hesitate to drop Roberto an e-mail to see about coverage for your big day!
I thoroughly enjoy assisting Roberto when he needs an extra pair of hands at a wedding. That said, Roberto has been left to fend for himself (quite ably, I might add) more than once when heartfelt vows, speeches or first dance songs have left my eyes blurry with tears. A Saturday this past September was definitely one of those days. Chris and Brigitte’s wedding at the stunning Wychmere Beach Club was amazing… Grab some beautiful people, put them in a beautiful location, and add some beautiful, late summer weather, and you’ve got yourself a good day to be a wedding photographer.
WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOS
Both Chris and Brigitte were relaxed and happy going into their big day, and Roberto popped between them as they got ready. It was really great catching up with them both again after having photographed their Boston engagement session the previous fall. Nerves are not out of the ordinary during weddings, especially in the lead up to the ceremony, but this pair was delightfully laid back throughout the day. Chris was already looking dapper as Roberto checked in with him that morning, and got some preparation shots of him with his groomsmen at the Inn by the Beach in Harwich Port.
WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOS
Moving over to Wychmere Beach Club, Brigitte looked stunning even before she stepped into her wedding gown, which turned out to be a dress that looked as if it were made for her. The fit, the style, the movement of the fabric, everything was perfect. She was definitely sporting that “bride glow” as she put the final touches in place and greeted her bridal party. Roberto got some amazing shots of Brigitte and her bridesmaids before leaving the ladies with glasses of champagne, and heading outside to get ready for the ceremony which was held on the lawn of the Beach Club facing the beach and Wychmere Harbor.
WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOS
The processional began soon after, and parents and bridesmaids were escorted to the front where a friend of the couple would be performing the ceremony. The music then changed, and Brigitte and her dad started the long walk across the lawn to Chris to Beyoncé’s “Halo”. I’ve got a soft spot for Beyoncé (Roberto and I walked down the aisle to “Crazy in love” after we were married) and I thought it was the perfect, romantic song choice for this couple, both musically and lyrically. I may have leaked a tear at this point, but there are no witnesses. The ceremony was sweet, filled with lots of laughter, and Chris and Brigitte were soon husband and wife.
WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOS
The lawn outside Wychmere is a really great venue to hold the ceremony, with the sea and the beach giving you the perfect Cape Cod backdrop. The main venue just a stones throw away too and should you not luck out with the weather as Chris and Brigitte did, then you can always opt for an inside location very easily.
If you’re looking for wedding photography coverage on the Cape or another part of New England then get in touch, Roberto is looking forward to hearing your plans!
