Our good friends, ML and Craig!

Marylynne Kane and Craig Strachan are madly,deeply in love.

So they got married.

In Vermont

At Three Stallion Inn. (which ROCKS, by the way.) It's the perfect location: ML and Craig rented out the entire inn, the food was really delicious, the service was excellent, there were so many places to hang out throughout the inn: front porch, back deck, sprawling lawn, cool Vermont bar with lots of Vermont beers on tap, and outside on the back deck dancing the night away!(**The website on this place does not do it justice. Look at our pictures :), call Amy at Three Stallion, and take an afternoon to see it yourself if you're interested).

ML and Craig fatefully found Ben and I over a year ago, and we all knew immediately that it was a perfect fit. They had a gorgeous celebration and afterwards Ben and I sat in the car, exhausted and in love with the new couple, and he tried again to convince me that this is our JOB!!!!
Let me wrap it up with this: ML and Craig are truly in love with one another, they were surrounded by their loving families and fabulous friends, they chose the ideal location, and they invited Ben and I to not be vendors at their wedding, but to be a part of their love and their celebration. They are our kind of people, they are our new friends, and we're both honored and blessed to have been there to be with the happy and gorgeous couple.
Enjoy Vermont, guys. We love you, you know that. We'll see you again soon.
the gushy and emotionally involved,

Toni and Tyson!

Big T and Little T got all kinds of hitched yesterday. Their gorgeous reception was held at the picture perfect Harding Allen Estate in Barre, MA.
Toni was such a gorgeous bride, her dress was one of the most beautiful art pieces I have ever seen, and she was all aglow with love for her gorgeous (and kind and romantic and thoughtful) groom, Tyson.
Toni and Tyson, for all that it's worth, are what Ben and I call 'picture people'; They completely appreciate good photography, they have that really good 'camera stare', they know when to notice us and when to ignore. Love it.
Toni and Tyson, be good to Peru, Argentina, and Chile for me. Have fun. Thanks a ton.

Katie and John

I write this post with that warm fuzzy feeling one gets when they really, really, really love their job.
Katie and John:
are gorgeous.
are kind.
have fabulous families.
have wonderful friends.
will have super heroes as children.
are married.

Ben and I had such a great day with John and Katie and their friends and families today. There are no words to describe Katie's beauty....luckily I brought a camera so you can see for yourself. Their day was perfect and I would not have wished it on two better people and I'm so happy we all found each other. Bermuda is lucky to host you, Have a wonderful time.
J and K exchanged vows at St Joseph's in Medford (where Katie's parents were married 37 years ago) and then partied on the Atlantic Ocean at the GORGEOUS and perfect Misselwood at Endicott College.
rockin.

Sara and Ryan

Sara Gunderson has been one of my best friends for going on 22 years now. (ouch. we met utero, I guess). We have shared more phone calls, secrets, bottles of wine and laugh-till-you-cry moments than I could have ever hoped for when her Dad first dropped her off at my house when we were 11. When Ryan walked into her life a few years ago I was skeptical, as all friends are, but he quickly worked his way into my heart. Now I love his whole damn family (and hers, but that goes without saying).
Hitched Studios did not photograph Sara's wedding, but...well...umm...I can't help myself. I feel awful that I was 'that' guest.
Wait.
naaaaaaa. no i don't.
Sara had her dream wedding. Truly. It was at The Wequassett in Chatham. Been there? Go. Now.
Congratulations Bo and Rynan. i love you.

Tori and Ian

Tori Samuel is a friend of mine whom I was lucky enough to meet when I was working as Winston's Flowers Special Event photographer. She's just one of those people everyone always wants to be around: kind, fun, gorgeous, and talented. Ian McGlaughlin, also all of those things, can consider himself a blessed guy this morning.
Tori and Ian were married with their favorite 28 people surrounding them. Their ceremony was really nice; very personal and heartfelt...I loved it.
We walked through downtown Nantucket to their reception.
Their reception was a gorgeous dinner on the water at the Nantucket Yacht Club.

Gina and Jeff Young!

Gina and Jeff were married today between a rainbow and a thunderstorm, under bright blue skies. Don't those words sound like really bad lyrics to an even worse folk song? Corny and true, Gina and Jeff had a perfect day today.
Their ceremony was incredibly personal and touching, their families were kind and appreciative, Gina's friends were sweet and beautiful....and Jeff's friends can do the worm and handstands!
Tewksbury Country Club was the host of the party. Alex and Kim Levine were capturing the celebration on video.
G and J, thank you so much. How lucky: to be so kind, so beautiful, and so in love. It was our pleasure.

Our friends got hitched!!!

Why don't more people get married at an aquarium? If the aquarium is set on a cliff in New Hampshire overlooking the Atlantic, that is!
Jen and Dan could not have dreamed of better weather for their wedding at The Seacoast Science Center in Rye, NH.
Their whole day was just one of those really great days: the wedding was gorgeous, both Jen and Dan were absolutely glowing, their families and friends are fabulous, fun, and loving people. Not to mention Jen brought comfortable shoes so she could climb out onto the rocks for good pictures! We had a blast and we're so grateful we were able to be there for our new friends. THANK YOU!!!!
Have fun in California, kids. Do all the things I would do.... ;-)

Liz and Derek get Hitched!

Liz and Derek were married during the undisputed romance of a thunder and lightening storm. I'll have to check my sorcery hand book, but that has to be triple good luck!
Liz, Derek and all their friends were stars; we had such a blast! The weather cleared up just in time for the sky to turn pink while Ben and I worked with them in a portrait session. (speaking of triple good luck!!).
The wedding was so fun and so high energy at such a perfect venue, I really want to get the word out so here are the two big details you'll need.
AMAZINGLY fun and talented band: The Pulse of Boston. If you want your wedding to be a dance party book this band.
Venue: The Ridge Club. Has it all: gorgeous and enormous room; lots of glass. A terrace with a plexi glass top so that guests can still be outside even if it rains, delicious food, and lots of room for a terrace ceremony.
Congratulations Liz and Derek!
Thank you so much!!
