pamela and bill || the barn at gibbet hill || groton, massachusetts

hello stalkerazzi!!!!!
I’m so excited to finally share some images from my last wedding in September. It was the end of September, but it felt like the middle of summer!

I started out at Pamela’s parents’ house, where I had been just a year ago shooting her sister Michelle’s wedding! I couldn’t resist working this antique record player into another shot.

Ready!!

Loved the pop of reddish-orange in the trees - could it have been more perfect with their flowers?

Off they go!

I'm pretty sure this is when the officiant called them wedding magazine models. :)

Love this one - thanks Kelly!

After the ceremony it was back onto the trolley and over to Gibbet Hill. I love shooting at Gibbet Hill, the grounds are really dramatic and oh-so-very New England.

Now, I'm usually content to shoot right around the barns, but Pamela came prepared {with sneakers!} and ready to hike up the massive hill past the cows and up to the old castle. I did an engagement shoot there last fall with Katy and Danny, but never had a bride & groom make it up there!

Seriously, how pretty?

It didn't hurt that we made it up there just about 30 minutes before sunset. You can't make up this yummy light.

Pamela showing off the fancy footwear that made it all possible, and Bill giving his brother a call to come pick us up at the bottom of the hill!

Kelly was down at the cocktail hour getting a head start on all the details. Who can resist mini-pumpkin placecards?

While Pamela and Bill had their first dance, Alex was there making them a custom painting like he did for Michelle and Ben - so cool!

michelle and ben || black rock country club || hingham, massachusetts

Michelle and Ben scored an amazing September day to celebrate their wedding! I started at Michelle’s house and Kelly met up with the guys at the hotel. Knew I wanted to shoot her dress in front of these curtains as soon as I saw them….

Kelly always gets such great shots of ringbearers – these two were adorable.

There was some crazy sunlight streaming in for the ceremony.

There is so much going on in this picture….Michelle (and Ben’s dad) staring right at him, Ben’s mom beaming at Michelle, and Michelle’s dad sneaking a glance at her mom. Love it.

A quick ride on the golf carts and we did a few pictures on the beautiful grounds there.

Michelle and Ben commissioned Alexandre to do a painting during their reception. For those of you who have been in my studio, I have a sample album with a picture of the painting he did for Alex and Jen at their reception at the Fairmont Copley. It is such a unique touch.

Michelle’s dad works for the Boston Globe, so we brought along that day’s copy for a photo.
