What can I say about last weekend’s wedding?  How about stunning, perfect, amazing, wonderful?  Sean and Jessica had a dream wedding.  The lawn of the Commandant’s house in Boston.  Reception under a tent designed by the amazing Abby Gray of Olivia Browning in the theme of all things Boston marathon (perfect for two marathon runners!).  Gorgeous flowers.  Perfect Red Sox /  (not-as-perfect) Yankees cupcakes.  Awesome music.

Seriously a stunning, fabulous day.

Kristina and I were SO thrilled that they chose us to photograph their day.  We had so much fun with this wedding and meeting a whole new set of people and families.  We are so fortunate to do what we do and witness such incredibly personal, intimate and joyful moments.  And I have to say, seeing your super sweet, quiet, adorable, polite bride and groom turn into crazy dancing maniacs on the dance floor is also pretty cool 😉

There’s a lot.  Because I want there to be 🙂   Congratulations Jessica and Sean!!  I hope you had an amazing honeymoon!

(BTW one of my personal favorites along with the black and white of their first dance? Jessica’s parents giving her away.  The look on her mom’s face, the hand on her back…as a mom, I have some sense of the emotion that was there and I absolutely love it.)

I have always loved this quote and found it particularly appropriate for the wedding that I shot last weekend with Kristina (click HERE for her photos).  Monica and Todd first met when they were little and though Todd would move away, their families would remain connected and intertwined through friendship of older sisters.  And when Monica and Todd were reintroduced years later by those same sisters, the path that would eventually unite both families together forever began.  Through times of great joy and great sorrow, these two families have been joined.  And last Saturday, they became joined in a most official, delightful, beautiful and loving way.

It was a perfect, wonderful, amazing day.

There were laughs (lots), tears and a multitude of smiles.  And when the sun was setting over Boston and the light came streaming in through the windows of the roof deck at the Taj I believe a very special angel was looking down on these two and sending a whole bunch of love and blessings on their day and their new life together.

Monica and Todd I am so so happy for you two.  Enjoy each and every moment together.

I really am supposed to be blogging a wedding today.  But I just have so many images to pull together from it that I am passing it over for some shots from last night’s engagement session with the gorgeous Jessica and Sean instead.  Shhhhh.

After coming off of the amazing wedding on Saturday, I headed back up to Boston from Providence last night (I’ve been to Boston four times in the past three years – twice in the past three days – crazy!) to meet up with Kristina and do a walk through with Jessica and Sean.   Turns out that though they live in Boston, Jessica is from right here in RI – in fact it’s only about five minutes from where I am that she grew up.  (I say it over and over, New England is crazy small.)  We had gorgeous weather and of course had to take a few photos of them throughout the evening.  I discovered “that line of bricks” which turned out to be the Freedom Trail (history is not my strong suit) made for a delighful photo as did some other locations on the walk from their place to their wedding location.

It is going to be an AMAZING day, I can already tell.  Not only do we have gorgeous, adorable couple, but we have a stunning location.  Kristina and I have some ideas for photos that we can’t wait to do and I have a few shots of the groomsmen planned in my head so if we can all think good 75 degrees and sunny thoughts for August 21 I’d greatly appreciate it.  😉

Jessica and Sean it was wonderful to meet you last night – we are SO looking forward to your wedding!!
