We knew that Abby and Andy’s wedding at the Red Lion Inn was going to be wonderful after the awesome engagement session we had together. We were very excited to meet them in the warm weather considering it was the middle of winter when we last met in Boston. The beaches of Cohasset, Ma were a far cry from the frozen frog pond in The Commons! As always, The Red Lion Inn was stunning and the staff was kind and attentive. Abby was breathtaking in a gorgeous gown by House of Wu and Andy was dressed to the nines in Tommy Hilfiger. These two fit together like a puzzle, both are incredibly smart, stylish and driven and it came through in the styling of the wedding. The rustic beauty of the inn complimented the pretty florals by Barry’s Flowers. Each table number was accompanied by a picture of the bride and groom at that particular age. This greatly impressed us because not only did their parents keep their photos organized throughout the years but the pictures were beautiful! We had such a gorgeous day that were were able to take advantage of every spot on the grounds of the inn, take formal photos on the beach, and get Abby and Andy to their cocktail hour in time to enjoy some sweet acoustic music and passed hors d’oeuvres. The photo booth was hoping all night and the couple even had their own hashtag for their guests Instagram photos. Here’s to #abbyandandy13!

Once upon a time a wedding comes along that really knocks our socks off. Meet Jay and Alayna! Their story starts with a wedding proposal from Jay who had a pelican trained to carry the engagement ring. Yes, a real live pelican! Alayna is a very talented illustrator and she drew the scene as their Save the Date card. A gorgeous storybook themed wedding at The Glen Manor followed.  Del’s frozen lemonade (original and spiked!) refreshed the guests after the ceremony. Once inside, friends and family were treated to a feast for the eyes. Each table had a different terrarium as the centerpiece, picture books and candles adorned the mantles, and an incredible pelican/storybook cake by Sin Bakery was the focus of everyone’s attention next to the dance floor. Jay had purchased some gorgeous carved animal masks that he thought would go nicely with the wedding theme, so naturally we had to do some fun photos with them in the woods. We went for a nice long walk on the grounds until we stumbled upon a pretty stream. Alayna kicked off her vintage shoes and into the stream they went. It was amazing. Alayna wore her mother’s dress and Jay’s mother’s veil. We felt as if we had stepped back in time. And in a way we did, back in the 90’s Marisa and Jay were buds in college where they shared an affection for indie rock and Mortal Kombat, so being asked to document this beautiful day was extra special. Throughout the evening DJs played all of the couple’s favorite tunes, we were even treated to two piano solos by their good friend Paul. We wish Jay and Alayna much happiness as they live happily ever after…

By now we are all familiar with the traditional wedding vows…for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health. Couples exchange these words expecting challenges down the road, but way down the road when they are older and time has given them the experience to handle the curve balls that life throws at them. A mere two days before their wedding planned for May 19th Ronnie fell ill and the wedding had to be postponed. Melissa was the picture of strength, standing by her future husband as he healed and got stronger. Fast forward, 105 days later to the happiest celebration and the most beautiful day at The Atlantic Beach Club! We were so touched that in the chaos of rescheduling their wedding, Melissa and Ronnie were steadfast in keeping us as their photographers. We were more than excited to hear this news, because honestly, we adore them! We felt like old friends after the engagement shoot and we were so happy to be a part of the joy of their big day. It was nonstop fun and we captured every minute of it. They are the kind of couple who whose love and happiness are infectious. Congratulations Melissa and Ronnie! To love and to cherish, from this day forward…
