These are some of my favorite photos from Courtney and Adam’s wedding at Willowdale Estate. Courtney wore her mother’s wedding dress from 1974, her grandmother’s wedding band, and carried her grandmother’s beaded purse. For their first dance, Adam’s brother played guitar and sang. Courtney’s brother made their cake topper.

Courtney and Adam did something at their wedding that I’m seeing more often. After their public ceremony, they took time just for themselves and through hand-written letters, exchanged private vows. It was my favorite part of the day.

Some of my wedding couples order an album. Here are a few page spreads that I’m designing for Sarah and Jacob’s album. You might remember their wedding at Misselwood in Beverly, Massachusetts this past Summer.

Each one of the layouts below is a 2-page spread for their 12×12″ album. If you’re interested in learning more about my albums and how I design them, click here and view this post on flush mount wedding albums.

On the last weekend in October I photographed Amy and Brian’s wedding. Their ceremony took place at the West Parish Chapel in Andover, and their reception was at the Danversport Yacht Club. This was the last wedding of the official wedding season — as New England weddings tend to calm down a bit between November and March. I do have several winter weddings that I’m photographing between now and then, so stay tuned.

Maria and Carl had their wedding at the Ocean View Inn in Gloucester, Massachusetts. I have to tell you that this is a case where they were going to go with another wedding photographer (shocker!) but he was already booked. We’ll cut Carl and Maria some slack because they hadn’t yet met with me, and said photographer is actually a friend of mine…. ha ha. I’m so glad they found me! This may come as a surprise to people who are getting married, but many of us wedding photographers in Boston are actually friends. It works out great for everyone because we have such a strong referral network when we’re booked. So if you contact me and I’m booked, I’m always happy to point you in the direction of another wedding photographer in the Boston area whose work I trust and admire.

Maria and her mom before the ceremony…

Maria and her mother again, below at left. Below at right, the groomsmen all received monogrammed gold cuff links.

Below, Carl and the groomsmen hanging out on the rocks before the ceremony. He and Maria waited until the wedding ceremony to see each other. Although I often do “first looks” and formal portraits before the ceremony, I am becoming a bigger fan of the bride and groom waiting until the ceremony to see each other. So much anticipation!

I love this photo of Carl’s mom watching the ceremony.

Maria and Carl jumped the gun and kissed before the officiant gave them the o.k. ! They had a re-do right after this, although I prefer this unprompted kiss…

As soon as Carl and Maria entered the reception, he surprised her by performing “Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher.” Carl has a great voice! I mean, he sounds like the dude in the original recording. Plus he had The Swinging Johnsons as backup!

Tonight I’m charging batteries, going over itineraries, and putting my camera bags together. I’m photographing two great weddings on this holiday weekend — one of which will be at Boston’s Old North Church. Yeah, the one from history class… you remember where they hung the lanterns and said “One if by land, two if by sea.”

For now, a few bridals from Maria and Carl’s wedding at the Ocean View Inn in Gloucester. Their wedding — complete with a surprise serenade from Carl — is up on the blog next.
