I have a ways to go with editing photographs from this wedding — these are just my top picks that I quickly pulled. I wanted to get Wilson and Lindsey some preview photos before they left for their two month honeymoon! They’ll spend the next eight weeks backpacking across Europe and India.

They had tons of great calligraphy at this wedding — from these letterpress invitations and cards to the hand-lettered escort cards at the reception. Monogrammed, embroidered handkerchiefs were among Lindsey’s gifts to her bridesmaids.A photograph of Lindsey’s grandmother, who was there in spirit, below at right. A bridesmaid and stylist Caitlin Murphy place the veil over Lindsey’s face.Here’s where I almost lost it with the tears. Lindsey and her parents arrived at the church in a 1937 Cadillac. When the car pulled up and all the tourists were cheering and snapping photos, and the bagpiper was playing… I really had to fight back tears! It was all very dramatic! Where it all started: “One if by land, two if by sea.” The Old North Church still uses brass candle chandeliers, which were first lit on Christmas day in 1724. Wilson and Lindsey are both of Scottish descent, and a bagpiper played as people entered and left the church. The tower at right, below, is the steeple where Paul Revere arranged to have lanterns hung. We headed to the Boston Public Garden for some portraits after the wedding ceremony. I didn’t have to give them direction for their portraits below. They were so happy to be married! The wedding reception took place in the Lenox’s Dome Room. Wilson and Lindsey welcome guests to the reception. Behind them, Florencia Gonzalez band. Thank you Wilson and Lindsey for letting me be part of your wonderful and beautiful wedding day!

Li, a.k.a. “Fat Orange Cat Studio”, is a friend and bar-none the best pet photographer in Boston. Her photos of critters are a-mazing. Li is also my first go-to person as a second shooter at weddings, and even started a wedding photography arm of Fat Orange Cat Studio.

Saturday was the eve of the blizzard, and Boston was eerily quiet for our photo shoot.  I guess people would rather be at the supermarket or hunkering down at home, rather than hanging out in cemeteries and drinking on Newbury St! Hey more space for us, and fewer people to see us acting silly on our photo shoot!

Now, some people may question a romantic photo shoot in a cemetery. But I love cemeteries! I’m not goth or anything, I just like history. Li suggested doing part of our shoot at Boston’s Granary Burial Ground, the final resting place of Paul Revere, John Hancock, Mother Goose, and Sam Adams. It was cold and quiet and really quite beautiful.

You’ll see these two on the blog next year. Their wedding is next June at the MIT Chapel with a reception at Oleana.
