We traveled to Willowdale Estate in Massachusetts for Nadia and Ben’s gorgeous wedding. It was our third wedding that weekend and we were beat, to say the least. But as soon as we pulled into the estate we were instantly rejuvenated! The stunning grounds, landscaping, and manor were a dream come true. Nadia’s joy was infectious that day. Watching her get ready with her twin sister and mother gave us a peek into their tight knit family. Before the ceremony, Nadia and Ben had a “first touch” by the front door of the manor where they shared in each others’ excitement over getting married in a matter of minutes. Once Ben actually saw his stunning bride in the courtyard he was blown away. Nadia was glowing in her Paloma Blanca gown and Badgley Mischka embellished heels. Her swept back hair and sparkling chandelier earrings highlighted her killer smile. The beautiful ceremony was followed by cocktail hour and portraits on the sprawling grounds. This is always a nice time for our couples to get away from the crowd and have a few moments to themselves, even with us there (it’s true, we’re ninjas). Dinner was served under a gorgeous tent styled in shades of pink and white. Guests dined under the twinkle lights and after the magical courtyard cake cutting the most amazing dance floor opened up. This wedding turned into a par-tay as soon as Dawson Entertainment dropped some beats! Dance hits were flawlessly mixed with traditional Indian music creating the most eclectic atmosphere we’ve experienced. Our first time at Willowdale Estate was unforgettable and will be a tough one to top. Cheers to the newlyweds!

One of the best parts of our job is visiting new places. Nadia and Ben invited us to meet them at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston for their engagement session and we were blown away by the beauty. Not only the beauty of the park but by Ben and Nadia’s love for each other. They brought us to some of their favorite spots and we found some new and magical ones along the way. It was a wonderful way to get to know each other before their big day. Stay tuned for that stunner!

Rebecca and Jonathan had a perfect wedding. Every last detail was hand chosen and breathtaking. You really can’t go wrong with Linden Place as your venue which is why it’s on our short list of favorite places to shoot in our little state. Our couple chose navy blue, turquoise, and purple as their color theme and what a choice that was! Rebecca’s Kate Spade kitten heels were so beautiful, it’s a good thing they didn’t fit Marisa or she would have run off in them! With a gorgeous updo and her embellished Mori Lee gown Rebecca was the perfect bride. And HAPPY! These two were just so happy to be married! After getting ready in the bridal suite Rebecca met Jonathan for their first look outside by the gazebo. They exchanged heartfelt letters to each other and then we took the formal portraits on the magnificent grounds. Around every corner is another garden, statue, or piece of architecture which is prettier than the next. After the signing of the Ketubah in the Atrium Rebecca pulled her blusher down and walked the long aisle to Jonathan for their ceremony under a chuppah. Cheers erupted when Jonathan broke the glass and everyone was ready to move over to the East Rose Garden for the cocktail hour. Signature drinks in mason jars were awaiting the guests as the folks at Glorious Affairs passed heavy hors d’oeuvres. The Carriage House Ballroom has never looked more beautiful than it did on this day! Embroidered linens alternating in turquoise and white, John Orton’s lush florals, candles, and lanterns created a wonderfully romantic atmosphere. After the delicious sit down dinner the romance quickly turned into party as soon as Men in Black began to perform. The dancing was nonstop and included a Hora of epic proportions! JB Horn Films was by our side all day capturing all the magic that was happening. It truly was a perfect day!
