They managed to meet their goals and more with their exuberant wedding in the heart of Boston. When the skies decided to open up and rain down on the big day, it didn't dampen any spirits. That's what we love about these two. They are incredibly compassionate and laid back and share a deep appreciation for what's important in life. We were thrilled to have our gal Devin along as our second shooter for Katie and Josh's wedding. It's been wonderful working with you, Katie and Josh. We are so happy for you and know you'll share many happy years together! Congratulations!

Carolyn + Pat = Married

Carolyn and Pat are true Boston sweethearts. They wanted their wedding to be a celebration of their past, present and future together and decided to celebrate with those that have seen them through all of these places in life. They both grew up in Quincy, MA and decided to honor their hometown by getting ready at their childhood and current home as well as have their ceremony at the church just down the road. There is something so sentimental about couples who choose to house their weddings in their personal spaces. The guys had a literal parade before the ceremony that marched them down the street with the sounds of Irish bagpipes (so cool, right?) and the music paused for a bit while the two exchanged rings. After their ceremony everyone made their way to the New England Aquarium on Boston's Waterfront for an urban party on the wharf. We love the communal feel the images have as their loved ones came out to celebrate their newly minted status as husband and wife. Carolyn and Pat, we admire your selfless love and devotion to one another. It's been a pleasure working together, and we wish you nothing but the best! Congratulations!

Samantha + Ben = Married

Samantha (aka, Sam) and Ben are fun loving people. They share a love for animals, good food and lazy Saturdays spent together (amen!). With their adventurous spirits and a slight obsession for nerdy humor - they are a perfect match. The New England Aquarium was an awesome backdrop for their outdoor wedding which was oozing with love and laughter. We started the day by photographing their wedding preparations at the beautiful downtown Boston Hilton Hotel. Once they were ready to go, we met at Post Office Square down the street where Sam and Ben shared an adorable first look. In retrospect, they were waiting for us to tell them to turn around and see each other (which we don't usually direct), but before that happened a good five minutes passed where Sam stood behind Ben as he waited to see his her - and they just talked to one another. Their body language changed just by the sound of each other's voice, which was so sweet. After their first look we walked around and grabbed some portraits of the two of them, including some of our favorites on a carousal. Once photos were done they prepared for the ceremony which overlooked the entire Boston harbor. The ocean breeze was refreshing and all of their guests were enamored with their sweet vows and first kiss. Cocktail hour was spent among the fish tanks and penguins which everyone loved, followed by a rocking reception behind the Aquarium. The wedding party even had a surprise choreographed dance which was a lot of fun. Based on some of the reception photos, there is a little hint to what song they danced to. Anyone? Leave your guess in the comments and I'll personally high five anyone that gets it right. Sam and Ben, we were so happy to share in your Wedding Day and know you'll make each other eternally happy. Congratulations!
