Amy and David were recently married at Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, Mass. Here are a few of my favorite photos from their wedding day.
And… I’m updating this post with some info on the Etsy items that were used in this wedding:
Shawl: Trendy Knitting
Groom’s tie: Buttered Toast
Cake toppers: Goose Grease
Name banner: Earmark
I recently photographed Angela and Colin’s wedding in Newburyport, Mass. Their ceremony was held at the First Religious Society Unitarian Church and the reception was at The Phoenix Room.
Angela and I are both really into ghosts and anything spooky. I think we discovered this when I posted a facebook update about watching Ghost Hunters. When she told me that she and Colin would be getting ready at the reportedly haunted Garrison Inn, I was pretty excited! But alas … I’ve scanned these “getting ready” photos for orbs and shadow people and haven’t found anything suspicious.
I photographed so many North Shore weddings this season; probably more than I photographed in Boston. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Boston’s North Shore, it’s a very pretty area with quaint little New England towns like Salem, Peabody and Beverly.
Julie and Fran are really funny and truly nice people. Fran’s daily facebook updates might be the funniest of any of my facebook contacts. And Julie is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful clients I’ve worked with. You remember their engagement session from last winter? It was possibily the coldest weather in which I’ve ever photographed. During the session I said: “I really wish I had some fingerless gloves.” A few weeks later a package arrived in the mail from Julie — fingerless gloves!
Julie and Fran’s wedding ceremony was at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Peabody and their reception was held at the Nahant Country Club.
A few weeks ago I photographed Sarah and Oren’s wedding at Moraine Farm on Boston’s North Shore in Beverly. The grounds were landscaped by Frederick Law Olmstead – the same guy who designed Central Park, the Niagara Falls Reserve, and the grounds of the U.S. Capital to name a few. So needless to say the landscape at Moraine is absolutely beautiful.
For those of you living in Boston, you know that the weather this summer has been pretty dreary. I think the average temperature for June was something like 60 degrees, and it was the dimmest June on record in more than 100 years. We had planned to do portraits outdoors before the ceremony, but of course it was raining. But Sarah and Oren had such a good attitude — nothing was going to ruin their plans. So we grabbed some umbrellas and headed out. I’m so glad we did!
I don’t know why, but I am fascinated with images of people walking or turning away.
But don’t worry, I manage to get some photos of people facing the camera too.
Attendants getting ready “backstage” before the ceremony…
The signing of the ketubah, just before the wedding ceremony. When the Rabbi pulled the ketubah from their hands, according to Hebrew law they were officially married.
A vintage typewriter guestbook…
I have to say this was some of the best and most creative food that I’ve seen (and eaten!) at a wedding. I mean, Ne Me Quitte Pas Catering (my fave)? Blue Ribbon BBQ? Come on! And one of the best touches was that Sarah and Oren recently made their own wine vintage, which they served at the wedding.
Members of their family perform…
Bo Winnaker and his band were fabu.
