Cohasset, Massachusetts is a former fishing village tucked in along the rocky shores where greater Boston Harbor ends and Massachusetts Bay begins. Nestled among the shops on Main St. is the Red Lion Inn. This quickly became a favorite venue for us to shoot because of the beautiful landscaping, the incredible Lion’s Hall, attentive staff and close proximity to the beach. Stephanie and Tim had the most beautiful day and together with their sweet daughter they celebrated with family and friends into the night. Sean got the first look of his glowing bride in her strapless Maggie Sottero, lace gown on the mezzanine in the Lion’s Hall. The handsome couple shared some private moments before heading outside into the sunshine for portraits with their wedding party. As guests found their seats for the ceremony, Stephanie and Sean parted ways to prepare. Joined by their daughter, Stephanie and her father walked down the aisle arm in arm while she held a delicate paper flower bouquet.  The chandeliers and Edison lights had the room glowing, flower petals lined the isle, and guests were moved by the thoughtful, person vows. Cocktail hour on the mezzanine was followed by the newlyweds’ grand entrance down the staircase and their first dance. Instead of taking their seats, Sean had put together a surprise flash mob with the wedding party for Stephanie! It was a huge surprise for everyone! A lovely dinner was followed by dancing and lots of shenanigans in our photo booth. It was an absolutely beautiful day!

While we love shooting in little Rhody, when we get a chance to travel and explore a new venue we get giddy. And when that venue happens to be on Martha Stewart’s list of 11 best rustic wedding venues well then we are down right blown away! Kelly was a bridesmaid in Abby and Andy’s wedding so when she reached out to us we were very flattered. Abby, in turn, was a bridesmaid for Kelly and she was mere weeks away from welcoming her first baby into the world, it was a very sweet reunion. We arrived up in the White Mountains to an unseasonably warm and sunny day. Kelly was relaxed and so very happy. As we started poking around the venue it was hard to miss all of Kelly and Brian’s details. They had decorated the main house as if it were their own. Personal photographs and momentos from their relationship thus far dotted each wall, desk, and table. Declarations of love could be read around every corner. But nothing stood out as much as our beautiful bride! Her gorgeous up-do highlighted the beautiful neckline on her sparkly gown. This dress was made for a garden ceremony. Our couple saw each other for the first time in The Barn at Hardy Farm. Bryan’s smile could not have been bigger when he saw Kelly for the first time. We brought in the wedding party for some gorgeous formal portraits then drove down the street for some more shots with the mountains as our backdrop. The Whites never disappoint!  Back at Hardy Farm, Bryan and Kelly exchanged their vows during the ceremony, which was lovingly officiated by the groom’s Aunt and Uncle. The sunlight danced upon Kelly as the two became one surrounded by wildflowers and butterflies. Cocktail hour immediately followed on the patio where guests were gifted a mason jar mug with their name on it. This would serve as their drinking vessel for the night where they could get anything from the signature cocktails, to lemonade, iced tea, and water. Such a clever idea! The dinner tent was styled with farm tables, lace runners, peonies in vintage vases & vintage plates, each with a different design. It was perfection. The venue, the love, the family & friends all made this day unforgettable. Guests were invited into the barn for dancing and dessert after dinner and the party got going and went on into the night. We loved every minute of this day and it’s fair to say that Martha would approve!

We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful way to ring in the new year than with Chelsea and Zach’s vintage, winter wedding. Set in beautiful Bristol, RI, their wedding was dripping with vintage and handmade details. Chelsea personally made anything and everything she could, from the candles at each table setting to beautiful wooden signs with declarations of love. She was absolutely stunning in her long-sleeved lace La Sposa gown. Her updo perfectly showcased the peekaboo back and her golden, sparkly Badgly Mischka open toe heels completed her look. When Zach saw her walk down the isle he was clearly floored. After the heartfelt ceremony we stopped by Coggeshall Farm for some portraits as the sunset began and then made our way to the docks outside of the Bristol Harbor Inn for more portraits just as the sunset was in full bloom. While it was certainly chilly (freezing!) it was well worth it as the sky lit up this already shining couple. Inside the DeWolf Tavern guests were treated to a warm and cozy atmosphere lit with twinkle lights and candlelight. The highlight of the dessert table was the gorgeous cake and treats made by Chelsea’s sister, Jocelyn. The detail she put into these desserts reflects the deep love between these two sisters, and what’s better than a love you can eat! A lovely sit down dinner was followed by upbeat dancing as the reception went into full party mode. Friends and family had the most wonderful time while Chelsea and Zach never stopped smiling the entire day and night. Their happiness on this day will be followed by years and years of true love and bliss for sure.
