BOSTON ESPLANADE ENGAGEMENT SESSION | VANESSA AND FERNANDO
We had arranged this engagement session to take place on a Saturday evening, but the weather that day did not want to play. It was pouring with rain in the morning, and the forecast was calling for more of the same. We made the call to change the shoot to Monday evening instead and were rewarded with one of the nicest evenings we could hope for down by the Charles River.
BOSTON ESPLANADE ENGAGEMENT SESSION | VANESSA AND FERNANDO
I have shot engagement sessions and lifestyle shoots on the Charles before, but this time we really wanted to explore all that this part of Boston had to offer. Starting with Fernando and Vanessa around an hour before sunset meant that we were going to get the best light of the day for their photographs. The hour before and after sunset or sunrise gives a beautiful light, and while I will rise at 4:00AM to shoot landscapes, expecting couples to get up at that time for an engagement session might be a bit much.

I’m capturing Vanessa and Fernando’s Boston wedding in August this year and this was a great chance to get them both in front if the camera and spend some time with them. The Esplanade is a really great place for engagement photos in Boston, with the landscaped parks and Charles River providing a great backdrop, and there are lots of really interesting places within a short walk.
BOSTON ESPLANADE ENGAGEMENT SESSION | VANESSA AND FERNANDOBOSTON ESPLANADE ENGAGEMENT SESSION | VANESSA AND FERNANDO
I knew that I wanted to get them some shots over the bridges that cross the water and also incorporate some with the intricate masonry that lines the side of the still water pools that can be found along Boston’s esplanade. With the evening sunshine coming in and lighting them, we couldn’t have asked for better conditions.
BOSTON ESPLANADE ENGAGEMENT SESSION | VANESSA AND FERNANDO
After we shot there, we wanted to get some other images with the Longfellow Bridge in the background, as well as some of the sailboats that are a trademark of that part of town. The little docks that line the back of the Charles River gave us another great location for Fernando and Vanessa.

I had a great time shooting with them both in Boston on a perfect summer evening. I can wait to catch up with you both again very soon for the big day!

I met with Mike and Denise back in the summer of 2010 to talk about the possibility of photographing their wedding this spring at Dante Restaurant in Cambridge. Sitting down and talking with them over lunch, I knew this was going to be a fun, family-filled wedding, and that they were both going to be great fun to work with.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISE
Their big day seemed to come around quicker than ever and we had a sunny, cool spring day by the Charles River. Denise is a librarian at my local library and we had shot their engagement shoot at the Boston Public Library, which is the perfect place for a Boston engagement session. It was great to see her love of books translated into their wedding day as well. She made all of the flowers and decorations for the day, including her bouquet and the groom’s boutonnière, from old book pages. Putting her origami skills to the test, she created absolutely beautiful flowers.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISE
On their big day, Mike and Denise were both getting ready at the Royal Sonesta and in neighboring rooms. This was a great set up, as it allowed me to move between the two very easily to get their preparation photos. Holding a wedding at Dante was a great choice. The venue is part of the Royal Sonesta complex so you don’t lose any travel time in your day and the view of Boston across the river is a stunning backdrop for any New England wedding photo. Also check out Denise’s stunning wedding dress, which had the lace from her grandmother’s wedding dress worked into the design, such a unique feature.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISE
After they were both ready for the day, we did their first look at the back of the Royal Sonesta in a nice area of light and that let us capture those emotions without too many distractions in the background. Doing a first look is a great way to not only share a special moment with your soon to be spouse, but it also allows you to get your formal photos and the photos of the two of you together before the ceremony, freeing up your day to be with your guests once they all arrive for the day.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISE
We headed down to the waterfront to capture Mike and Denise’s wedding portraits and to add some different locations and view point, and although it was a little bit windier and cooler, it was well worth the visit. We then headed back to the location Mike and Denise’s first look for some of the family photos as well.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISEBOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISE
The wedding ceremony was held on the open patio area just at the back of Dante and with the sun shining it was a wonderful spot. Holding your wedding on the bank of the Charles River with the Boston cityscape as your backdrop makes for an unforgettable location. The ceremony, and the rest of the day, was packed full of smiling and laughter, it truly was a very happy day all round.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISEBOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISE
After the ceremony, the celebrations moved back inside and during cocktail hour, they showed a video that featured Mike and Denise’s closest friends and family talking about their experiences of love and passing on some words of wisdom to the newly married couple to take forward into their life together. It was as funny as it was moving, and a really great touch to their day.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISE
With the light of the day slipping slowly away, I stole Mike and Denise away from the festivities for another quick photo shoot down by the Charles. The setting sun was lighting up the Boston skyline perfectly and I knew it would make for some great images of the both of them together, and I hope you’ll agree I was right.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISE
Denise changed into another stunning dress for her and Mike’s first dance, and you don’t get much more romantic than dancing the tango!
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISEBOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISE
The party went on into the early hours of the following day and I’m sure that many moves were thrown down on the dance floor, many stories were shared and many memories were made long after I had left for the day, but at the very end of my night with Mike and Denise I stole them away for one final shot in front of the Royal Sonesta. It was something I had wanted to try for a little while, and having spoken with Mike and Denise before the wedding, they were both interested in seeing if we could get the shot. And so, the last of their Boston wedding photos I leave you with is the newly married couple with the light trails of the passing cars wrapping around them in the night.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | MIKE AND DENISE
Thank you to Mike and Denise so much for allowing me into such a special day in your lives and allowing me to capture the images for you to remember it by.

Cassandra and Sean were married last fall in the beautiful Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Huntington Street in Boston. This is really a beautiful location to get married in Boston, and the autumn day couldn’t have been any more perfect.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOS | CASSANDRA AND SEAN
I started their Boston wedding photography coverage at the Westin in Copley Square, only a short distance from the Cathedral. Cassandra and Sean were heading back to the Westin after the ceremony for the reception, and we were also aiming for photos on the steps of the Boston Public Library, which is nearby.
I first shot with Cassandra and her family, and got some great shots of her and her bridesmaids getting ready, in addition to some great views across Boston and down into Copley Square below. It’s always nice to get a great cityscape into your Boston wedding photos and with the view from the Westin, that was easy to do. It also gave me the opportunity to capture a number of great images of her stunning wedding dress and shoes.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOS | CASSANDRA AND SEAN
Sean was getting ready with the rest of the guys downstairs, so after I had a good selection of photos with the ladies, it was time to head to the groomsmen. The guys were relaxed and getting ready and it was a nice chance to capture some images of them together before they headed out, as well as capturing some portraits of Sean by himself.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOS | CASSANDRA AND SEAN
I then headed back upstairs to catch up with Cassandra again and get some more portraits with her before she finally left the Westin for the Greek Orthodox Cathedral. She looked amazing, and it was fun to grab a few last shots with her and her family and bridesmaids before they left.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOS | CASSANDRA AND SEANBOSTON WEDDING PHOTOS | CASSANDRA AND SEAN
The Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Boston is a wonderful location for a wedding ceremony and one that they had planned over a year beforehand. Cassandra and her family are of Greek descent, and I think everyone was excited to be holding the wedding in such a beautiful location in Boston. From a photographic perspective, the location allows many different angles and it’s such an interesting space inside. We captured all the family photos together at the altar after the mass, which gave a lovely backdrop.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOS | CASSANDRA AND SEANBOSTON WEDDING PHOTOS | CASSANDRA AND SEAN
After the ceremony we headed straight back to Copley Square for formal photos with the bridal party. Copley Square and the steps in front of the Boston Public Library make for the quintessential Boston Wedding photographs for your big day. The location is a landmark of the city and the backdrop is perfect in every way.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOS | CASSANDRA AND SEAN
Although we had to dodge the rain a couple of times, we managed to get all of the images captured before the really heavy rain fell later.
BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOS | CASSANDRA AND SEAN
Once the festivities got going for the night, they weren’t showing any times of stopping and I’m sure that Cassandra and Sean celebrated their Boston wedding day with their friends and family well into the early hours.

Alex and Patrick are based in Washington, DC but as they planned their wedding, they decided that they wanted to get married in their hometown of Boston. What better place to do it than in the location with the best view of the city: The UMass Club. The near 360-degree view from the ninth floor is stunning and as they were getting ready at the Langham Hotel just across the road, it was only a short way to travel for the day.
LANGHAM HOTEL WEDDING PHOTOS | ALEX AND PATRICK
I had met with Alex and Patrick over a year before their wedding when they were in Boston for the Christmas holidays and were beginning their arrangements for the big day. As I am fairly new to Boston, I have yet to shoot at many of the wedding venues that Boston has to offer, but I knew that this one would be special and unique. With views from the very top of the UMass Club reaching out across the whole city, this was an amazing location for a Boston wedding celebration.
LANGHAM HOTEL WEDDING PHOTOS | ALEX AND PATRICK
The Langham Hotel across the road was also a great spot to start photographing the day. Alex and Patrick were both getting ready here, and we planned their “first look” in the Bond Restaurant. I always recommend a “first look” for my couples if they are up for it… it allows them to share a special moment together before the whirlwind of their ceremony and reception begin, and it also allows me to get some great photos of just the two of them.
LANGHAM HOTEL WEDDING PHOTOS | ALEX AND PATRICK
After Alex and her bridesmaids finished getting ready in their room, we headed to the Bond Bar to capture the first time Alex and Patrick would see each other that day. The Bond provides a wonderfully luxurious backdrop with glittering chandeliers and unique furnishings and decor. Once we had captured some images there, we headed to the lobby of the hotel which provides a completely different but equally beautiful space with some beauitful natural light to work with. We captured some more great shots of them together here, then headed outside.
LANGHAM HOTEL WEDDING PHOTOS | ALEX AND PATRICK
Just across the road from the Langham Hotel is the Normal B Leventhal Park, which is where we headed to next to capture photos of Alex and Patrick together and with the rest of their wedding party. The park is perfect on a Saturday, as this is a very quiet part of town on weekends, and its landscaping offers a number of features that add a good variety for Boston wedding photos. After getting some great images there, we headed to the UMass Club, which is just across the road from the Langham Hotel.
LANGHAM HOTEL WEDDING PHOTOS | ALEX AND PATRICKUMASS WEDDING PHOTOS | ALEX AND PATRICK
Alex and Patrick were married on the ninth floor over looking the city of Boston on what was a perfect fall day last September. The space in the UMass club is very flexible, and great for a wedding. Alex and Patrick had their ceremony in one space, the cocktail hour in another area (with different view of the city) and had an additional room at their disposal to get some more family group photos.
UMASS WEDDING PHOTOS | ALEX AND PATRICKUMASS WEDDING PHOTOS | ALEX AND PATRICKUMASS WEDDING PHOTOS | ALEX AND PATRICKUMASS WEDDING PHOTOS | ALEX AND PATRICK
The party went on into the night, and by the time I left there were some serious moves being thrown down on the dance floor. They finished the night back at the Bond bar at the Langham Hotel. Alex and Patrick, it was a real pleasure to be a part of your day and thank you for allowing me to capture it for you both. I wish you all the very best for the future together.

Brigitte and Chris got in touch with me last year to inquire about shooting their wedding in Cape Cod this Fall, and to talk about the possibility of an engagement session in Beacon Hill and other parts of Boston. I normally get the chance to sit down and chat with the couples I work with before we get the cameras out and start shooting, but this was made a little tricky by the fact that Brigitte and Chris live and work in Switzerland. This meant that the first time I got to meet them both was for their engagement session when they were visiting Boston last September for a family wedding.
BEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BRIGITTE & CHRIS
I had spoken with them both over the phone and via Skype, so we had the chance to discuss their wedding day and engagement session beforehand, and I was really looking forward to meeting them both in person in Boston on their trip.
BEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BRIGITTE & CHRIS
We started shooting near Beacon Hill, which is a location I really enjoy using as a setting for engagement sessions. The streets aren’t too busy and they form the perfect backdrop, with little alleys and the details in the houses and street furniture adding subtle points of interest to the engagement photos. There is a great mix of colors as well and using these where possible gives the photos a nice pop.
BEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BRIGITTE & CHRISBEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BRIGITTE & CHRIS
We headed to Acorn Street to capture some more engagement photos there too. A Beacon Hill engagement session isn’t really complete without adding in the landmark Acorn Street with its cobbled surface. Again, the old houses and backdrop really add a nice romantic feel to the whole shoot. Brigitte and Chris would have looked great wherever we had shot though, and it was easy to see from the start what a great connection they had.
BEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BRIGITTE & CHRISBEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BRIGITTE & CHRISBEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BRIGITTE & CHRIS
We continued moving through Beacon Hill, stopping at a few more locations to get some extra images before we headed into the center of town for some additional shots. It was hard to stop photographing these two as we walked through Beacon Hill, as everywhere I looked I saw the chance of getting another set of photos. Brigitte and Chris looked stunning, and I couldn’t have asked for more!
BEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BRIGITTE & CHRIS
We headed into town and to the State Room in Boston to get some more shots. Brigitte and Chris are getting married at the Wychmere Beach Club on Cape Cod which is run by Longwood Events. Longwood Events also run the State Room, so Brigitte and Chris got the OK to shoot some images there as well. What a wonderful venue, and what a view of the city you get from up there! It was my first time shooting in the State Room, and the unique setting gave us the chance to get another completely different set of images for Brigitte and Chris’ Boston engagement shoot.
BEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BRIGITTE & CHRISBEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BRIGITTE & CHRIS
Combining the wonderful interior with the great views and the famous clock tower was the icing on the cake. On the way back to the car park we even managed to get one final reflection shot in the building lobby too! It was great fun shooting with you both, and I really cannot wait to catch up with you in September.

Sarah got in touch with me about six months prior to shooting her wedding to Nick, and when she told me of their plans to elope and have a Fall wedding for just the two of them, I got really excited. This was the first time that I had shot an elopement, and it sounded like they had a relaxed and happy day planned out for just the two of them, which including shooting their wedding photos at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln.
DECORDOVA MUSEUM WEDDING PHOTOS | SARAH & NICK
Well, the week of their elopement rolled around, and what was on the horizon… none other than Hurricane Sandy, which was due to hit the exact day they had planned to marry. We knew it was going to be tough to do anything that day, so Sarah and Nick rightly decided to postpone for a couple of weeks… one of the luxuries of an elopement! Take two, and it couldn’t have been more different. The day we had was perfect, you couldn’t have asked for a better Fall day in New England. The color in the leaves was great, the temperature just right, and it was perfectly autumnal.
I’ve loved going to the deCordova Museum ever since my first visit not long after I moved to the US. The wonderfully kept grounds with the beautiful and fascinating outdoor sculptures create a very unique setting for you to get your wedding photos. In addition to the art, the beautifully manicured gardens and lawn are surrounded by forests and ponds, making it hard to decide which setting you’d like for your wedding portraits.
DECORDOVA MUSEUM WEDDING PHOTOS | SARAH AND NICK
We moved through the deCordova Museum exploring all the different possibilities for shots, and with the weather being so mild, it was a pleasure to be shooting their New England weddings photos outside in this great space.
DECORDOVA MUSEUM WEDDING PHOTOS | SARAH AND NICK
It was great to be able to work in some of the sculptures that the park has to offer, and amongst my personal favorites was the fitting named ‘Lincoln’ piece by DeWitt Godfrey in Cor-ten steel and bolts. The warm sun was hitting these rust colored steel tubes in just the right way, and we were able to get a variety of images for Sarah and Nick just incorporating this piece.
DECORDOVA MUSEUM WEDDING PHOTOS | SARAH AND NICK
Also, you can’t photograph a wedding at the deCordova and leave without including photos of the sculpture of two large hearts by Jim Dine.

Thank you to Sarah and Nick for allowing me to be a part of such a unique and very personal day in your lives. I wish you all the very best for your future together.

I had been looking forward to shooting Erin and Randy’s wedding ever since they got in touch to discuss coverage. I had the pleasure of meeting them both at Matt and Holly’s wedding that I shot earlier last year, so I already knew them both and was excited to see this group of friends together again so soon at another wedding.
THE STONE HOUSE WEDDING PHOTOS | ERIN AND RANDY
The chance to capture Erin and Randy’s wedding photos at The Stone House in Little Compton Rhode Island, and at the historic United Congregational Church just down the road was also exciting because these were both new locations for me, and it’s great to work with new environments. They were equally beautiful as well and the area surrounding them was stunning, decked out in late Fall colors.
THE STONE HOUSE WEDDING PHOTOS | ERIN AND RANDY
I started with Erin, who was getting ready at The Stone House, with her friends and family staying there as well. The late October morning couldn’t have been any more perfect with the sun pouring in through the grand windows of the main building and warming the rooms. I took the chance to use this beautiful light to capture the details of the dress and flowers as well as all the preparations for the ladies.
THE STONE HOUSE WEDDING PHOTOS | ERIN AND RANDY
I left The Stone House with plenty of time to get to the United Congregational Church and meet up with Randy and his side of the party and get some shots with them together. Again the vibrant fall colors really popped and provided a perfect back drop for some great portraits. They couldn’t have asked for a better day weather-wise.
THE STONE HOUSE WEDDING PHOTOS | ERIN AND RANDY
The ceremony in the Congregational Church was a full Mass, and this is always nice as it gives me a lot of time to capture a variety of photos from different positions and locations. The area around the church was so nice that we couldn’t pass it up, and I was able get some images of Erin and Randy after the ceremony as well.
THE STONE HOUSE WEDDING PHOTOS | ERIN AND RANDYTHE STONE HOUSE WEDDING PHOTOS | ERIN AND RANDYTHE STONE HOUSE WEDDING PHOTOS | ERIN AND RANDY
We headed back to The Stone House after they wedding ceremony, and Erin and Randy had the chance to catch up with all of their guests, and I had the opportunity to capture the group formals and more images of the newlyweds as well. As a wedding venue, The Stone House in Rhode Island really gives you so much – The house itself creates a wonderful backdrop and the massive grass lawn leading down to the ocean is great for guests to spend the early parts of the evening reception.
THE STONE HOUSE WEDDING PHOTOS | ERIN AND RANDYTHE STONE HOUSE WEDDING PHOTOS | ERIN AND RANDY
Shortly after sunset, we moved inside and onto the serious business of kicking off the evening’s celebrations, it started off with a number of moving and funny speeches before some serious moves were thrown down on the dance floor. The party was still going strong when I left for the evening and I’m sure that Erin and Randy enjoyed their whole day of festivities with all their friends and family until the very end of the night. Thank you both for allowing me the chance to capture your special day.

Will and Christine were married in a wonderful ceremony in Oklahoma before they had their East coast celebrations, but they also wanted to celebrate with their friends and family here in Boston. I had the pleasure of photographing the event at the Hyatt Regency in Boston, where they held a traditional tea ceremony and other festivities.
WILL & CHRISTINE | HYATT REGENCY WEDDING PHOTOS
We started coverage for the day by capturing Will and Christine at Boston Common, and I have to say, these guys looked absolutely stunning. We had a good amount of time to capture photos of them together on the Common and so we made use of a few different locations each one offering something different and unique. It wasn’t hard to find a bad spot for these newly-weds, I think they would have looked great wherever we shot.
WILL & CHRISTINE | HYATT REGENCY WEDDING PHOTOS
Being late fall, there was a chill in the air, which was refreshing after a hot summer, but it meant that we didn’t want to spend ages outside. The time we had was perfect though, and the early evening light was gorgeous to work with.
WILL & CHRISTINE | HYATT REGENCY WEDDING PHOTOS
They were holding their East coast reception and party at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Boston. This was the first time I was shooting at this venue and it was a pleasure to do so. The staff there were very accommodating and professional and the reception rooms are stunning and very grand; I can’t wait to shoot another wedding there.
WILL & CHRISTINE | HYATT REGENCY WEDDING PHOTOS
Will and Christine held their Chinese tea ceremony shortly after we arrived back from taking their wedding photos on Boston Common and it was a packed house with lots of family. Christine had changed into her traditional red dress for the ceremony and Will had changed into traditional clothing as well and just when I thought these guys couldn’t get any more photogenic I was proven wrong!
WILL & CHRISTINE | HYATT REGENCY WEDDING PHOTOS
I had the chance to get some great family shots, both formal and candid, throughout the evening, and with some of their younger family and friends attending there were more than a few cheeky little smiles and grins from a group of young lads throughout the evening. I left before the serious dancing started, but I’m sure there were some great moves thrown down on the dance floor that evening. The Hyatt Regency in downtown Boston was the perfect backdrop for their wedding party and it was a treat to photograph there.
WILL & CHRISTINE | HYATT REGENCY WEDDING PHOTOS
I had an absolute pleasure with Will and Christine and all of their families, and I wish them all the very best for their future together. Thank you both kindly for allowing me to capture your day for you and I hope you’ll have fun and fond memories looking back over the photos in the years to come.

I’ve shot in Rockport, MA a few times in the past year, so when Ashley and John got in touch to ask about coverage for their wedding day by the sea, I couldn’t wait to hear what they had planned. They are based on Long Island in New York and were going to be traveling to Rockport to have their special day by the coast with their friends and family and I had the pleasure of capturing their photos.
ROCKPORT WEDDING PHOTOS | ASHLEY AND JOHN
I knew these guys were going to be great fun the day that I met them, and that it would be another fun day photographing in Rockport. Although I’m not based out of Rockport, I will always gladly travel to this wonderful part of the state to cover a wedding. It has become one of my favorite spots along the Massachusetts coastline.
ROCKPORT WEDDING PHOTOS | ASHLEY AND JOHN
Ashley and John were getting ready at the Rockport Inn and Suites, a location I have actually shot at a number of times before, so it was a nice familiar start to the day for me. Both the bride and groom were very relaxed, and with John joined by all his brothers and Ashley with her sister and friend it was a very fun and easygoing morning all around.
ROCKPORT WEDDING PHOTOS | ASHLEY AND JOHNROCKPORT WEDDING PHOTOS | ASHLEY AND JOHN
Ashley and John were due to get married at Halibut Point State Park, but the late Fall weather turned a little too cold that day, and they decided to make the call early and move the ceremony indoors to the Rockport Arts Association instead. This turned out to be a wise call and was a good example of why it is important to have a back up plan for your outdoor ceremony in case Mother Nature turns up in a bad mood.
ROCKPORT WEDDING PHOTOS | ASHLEY AND JOHN
Ashley and John were doing a first look, and we were able to get ready for this at the waterfront in the very heart of Rockport. It was a great setting, and the local candy store allowed us to shoot from inside their premises, which gave us a few unique images and some amazing double chocolate fudge as well! As Ashley and John had decided to do a first look, it meant that we had lots of opportunities to explore the area and get their Rockport wedding photos in a number of different locations. We also had the time to head to Halibut Point State Park to get all the family and bridal party shots as well.
ROCKPORT WEDDING PHOTOS | ASHLEY AND JOHN
Although the weather wasn’t the best that could have been hoped for, it was still nice enough to head to the State Park and spend some time there. After capturing all of the family groups, we took a little more time and got Ashley and John some great images outdoors at the State Park as well.
ROCKPORT WEDDING PHOTOS | ASHLEY AND JOHNROCKPORT WEDDING PHOTOS | ASHLEY AND JOHNROCKPORT WEDDING PHOTOS | ASHLEY AND JOHN
The ceremony had moved into one of the fantastic rooms at the Rockport Arts Association and it perfectly fit all of Ashley and John’s friends and family. This is a really great room and a wonderful space to hold a wedding. After the ceremony, it was straight into the festivities and it was an absolute pleasure to have been able to capture these in full until the end of the night for the newlyweds. Thank you to Ashley and John for letting me be a part of their wonderful Rockport wedding day and celebrations. I wish John and Ashley all the very best for the future together.

Niki and Nathan were married at the Hyatt Harborside in Boston last fall and I had the privilege of capturing their New England wedding celebration. The wedding ceremony was situated in a marquee outside on the lawn, and then the serious business of some awesome dance moves was conducted upstairs in the stunning ballroom over looking the harbor.
HYATT HARBORSIDE WEDDING PHOTOS | NIKI & NATHAN
I knew from the first meeting that these guys were going to be loads of fun and that their day was going to be filled with some great family and a whole load of good friends. The late fall weather was in their favor, although just a tad too crisp to hold the ceremony completely outside, but with the marquee on hand that didn’t prove a problem. This side of the harbor gives a wonderful look back across at the city and serves as the perfect backdrop to any Boston wedding.
I shot with both Niki and Nathan in their rooms while they were getting ready, which was an easy task as they were just a couple of doors down from each other. With Nathan completely ready, we headed outside to wait for Niki so we could capture their “first look” photos together. I wanted to capture the Boston cityscape in the background of the shots together so after getting the first look shots at the front of the hotel, we moved around to the waterfront to incorporate the view into their Hyatt Harborside wedding photos.
HYATT HARBORSIDE WEDDING PHOTOS | NIKI & NATHAN
Their ceremony was held in the marquee outside the hotel and it was the perfect spot to keep people warm and still experience the views across the harbor. The ceremony included readings from both sides of the family and the chuppah was made from a tablecloth that had been brought to the states by Nathan’s Grandmother, and was very special to them both so it was wonderful to be able to incorporate it into their day. The ceremony was filled with personal touches that helped narrate the story of their relationship, and involved family and friends that were present, as well as remembering loved ones that could not be with them.
When it was time for the party, I don’t know if I’ve seen more dancing at other weddings this year. Right from the beginning, with their surprise first dance choreography, these two were busting out some amazing moves and the rest of the wedding party and guests weren’t far behind. I did manage to drag them away from the dance floor for a last few shots and an outside view across the harbor at night. It was a tad colder by that point, but the shots came out great and it wasn’t long before they were back on the dance floor to party the rest of the night away. Congratulations to you both and here’s to many happy years ahead for you both!
