Weddings are a team effort.  First the bride and groom find the right vendors to execute their plan.  It’s this group of wedding professionals’ job to take these ideas and make them a reality for their clients.  Jessie and Dan hired a literal dream team for their Little Compton wedding and they needed it!  This wedding was a wild ride from start to finish!  Their team included us of course!  If there is a team being considered a dream we are on it!  😉  Stop Go Love was also on board to help document the day on video.  The decor was simply amazing thanks to the help of Mimi Whitmarsh and Rentals Unlimited.  We saw a dessert table from Confectionary Designs that looked too good to eat!  We can’t forget the real MVP of the day was Exquisite Events!  I don’t know how they coordinated all the moving parts of this day, but they did!  Referring to this wedding as a wild ride is no exaggeration.  There was an acapella group from Maine performing at the ceremony and cocktail hour, the biggest flash mob I’ve ever seen involving people from all over the world who learned the dance from a youtube video made by the sister of the bride, a video presentation of the planning of the wedding, a photo booth, an after party with an infinite amount of pizza…  Needless to say it was an amazing celebration that took a ton of planning.  The end result was well worth it – a one of a kind party to kick off the start of a beautiful marriage!

We are proud to report that this wedding was featured in the 2017 issue of Bliss Celebrations Guide!

What happens when you cross a glamorous make up artist with a rugged fisherman? Here’s what, you get New Hampshire perfection! The setting was Portsmouth, NH, a beloved, picturesque, Norman Rockwell-ish, perfect New England town. Portsmouth has a beautiful downtown made for strolling, window shopping, real shopping and eating (we always eat really well when we are in Portsmouth #jobperks). It’s also the perfect place to get married! Kristin and Brett were as laid back as could be. The day before, Kristin showed us her gorgeous Anthropologie wedding gown nonchalantly hanging in a church closet. You know, among choir robes and whatnot, no biggie! We walked all over town scouting locations for portraits, chatting about the wedding day and getting to know our fabulous bride. And we do mean FABULOUS. The wedding day was amazing. The ceremony took place at ST. John’s Episcopal Church. This church was originally built in 1732 but burned to the ground in a tragic fire in 1806 which also destroyed many buildings in this area known as “Strawbery Banke”. The present structure was built in 1807 and is listed in the Register of Historic Sites as the oldest Episcopal Church in New Hampshire. It was in the original church that George Washington worshipped in 1789. During the fire one of the two mahogany chairs that GW could have sat in was destroyed while one was saved. It is hoped that the one saved was the one George Washington sat in and Kristin was determined to sit in that very chair! After the ceremony we joined family on the church grounds for some formals and then the real fun began. We walked with the wedding party over to the town square for portraits. In lieu of flowers the ladies carried embellished, giant, round balloons. Can we talk about these ladies for a second?! They each bought their own dresses in the champagne color family. We had sequined, sexy, flirty, romanic styling going on. Kristin is a world travelled makeup artist who works with Making Faces Weddings, a renowned makeup service in Portsmouth whose team beautified Kristen’s lovely bridesmaids. Kristen did her own makeup obviously.  We enjoyed time in some amazing gardens and by the water where there were actual tall ships visiting. We can’t make this stuff up! Once we finished in the square we walked across the Memorial Bridge to Brett’s boat. This bridge spans the Piscataqua River between Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Badger’s Island in Kittery, Maine. We all boarded the boat with Brett as the captain and made our way to the reception at Martingale Wharf . Guests were waiting on the dock to receive the bride, groom and wedding party while enjoying cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres. This was quite an entrance and a first for us M’s! Guests from all walks of life mingled, enjoyed boat tours around the harbor, dined and danced the night away. Celebrity makeup artists, fishermen, friends, family and children alike celebrated this beautiful couple. Late in the evening Kristin had a friend cut her dress to tea length and changed out of her Manolo Blahniks into another pair of killer heals. She will be donating her gown to a charity that provides prom dresses to girls who can’t afford one, once again, fab. Its was an absolute joy to capture this incredible day. See for yourself how amazing it was!
