Amanda and Doug’s wedding was all about making sure friends and family had a relaxed and fun time, and everyone certainly did! Amanda and her Bridesmaids had no shortage of fun in the hours leading up to the wedding, playing drinking games and being silly as they did their hair and makeup, and dressed for the big day. Traveling from MA for their beach wedding, the clouds were a little cause for worry as they started to roll in before the ceremony! Thankfully, the Bride and Groom were able to have their dream oceanfront wedding and the storm held off long enough for the couple to say “I Do”! From the Blessing of the Stones to the tasty nacho bar (a favorite food of the newlyweds) everything about Amanda and Doug’s wedding day reinforced the love the two share for one another and how much they care for their family and friends. Congratulations to the new husband and wife!

We had the pleasure of working with Mariana of Kismis Ink Photography and Holly of Collective Creations for their Summer Model Photoshoot Contest! We had such a good time with the contest winner Eyleen and Mariana as they were really the brains behind this creative and fun shoot. Eyleen looked absolutely stunning and we got to shoot in a really cool location that only Eyleen knew about. Holly did such a fantastic job in making Eyleen look even more incredible and as you will see by the short film she is a natural in front of the camera!

Queenate and Fred celebrated their love with an amazing Traditional Nigerian Marriage/Engagement. The festivities began with the breaking of the Kola Nut, which is broken with a knife and shared with all guests as a mark of respect. This ceremonial act opened the floor to the Bridal Entrance with Sisters where Queenate and her beautiful friends performed the dance of the bride before receiving the Palm Wine from her Father. Queenate searched the hall for the man she chooses and found her loving husband Fred and presented him with the Palm Wine (an exciting moment for everyone)!! The whole evening followed with as much warmth and excitement – from the sentimental Entrance of Mother of the Bride to the Entrance of the Bride and Groom. Guests were adorned in amazing African attire made from the finest fabrics and the women beautifully wrapped their heads with Geles (headties). Queenate was a most striking Bride and looked amazing all evening wearing a couple different dresses that perfectly captured her beauty and the beauty of the evening. Fred couldn’t look more proud and in love after Queenate’s Father blessed and joined the couple. Congratulations to Queenate and Fred and their declaration of love!

It was a hot summer day and an even steamier summer night when Jill and Matt were married. The newlyweds wanted to make sure their family and friends had a fun-filled day and between the rocking music, photo booth fun and hand-rolled cigars, everyone had an amazing time. The reception glowed with seafoam green lighting splashed all around, complimenting the silver decor and bunches of flowers encased in stunning water-filled vases. Guests were surprised with escort cards attached to personalized wine bottles (what a great idea!) The party never stopped with lots of dancing and even tables taking turns singing songs with the word “love” in them! Congratulations to Jill, Matt and little Gabriel on a lovely new life together.

Super sweet and creative Brittany and very romantic Danny (seriously, listen to what he says to Brittany during his toast!) were blessed with a wedding day that was everything they had hoped for. Sacred Heart’s striking beauty surrounded the couple during their union, and the reception had a warm, whimsy and romantic feel, with the perfect vintage touch to celebrate the love and romance of the day. Brittany chose light green and light pink accents in her decor, bridesmaid dresses and flowers – perfect for the day’s whimsical ambiance. Her wedding dress was simply amazing, and Brittany and her bridesmaid’s shoes – one word, HOT! The reception details, like the birdcages on the tables, stationary, framed photos and chocolate really gave guests a dreamy day to remember and the newlyweds the perfect start of a long, happy life together! Congratulations to the Bride and Groom!
