heather + allan : : MIT endicott house, dedham

So fun to discover a hidden gem of a venue! I've been photographing weddings for 8 years, but I'd never heard of The MIT Endicott House in Dedham. The estate is replete with lush gardens and romantic nooks -- there's even an Alice in Wonderland tea table tucked away in the woods.

In this storybook setting, Heather and Allan's centerpieces cast a spell -- the floating arrangements suspended from the ceiling gave the reception room an airy and ethereal atmosphere. Heather & Allan filled their day with charming personal touches: cupcakes baked by a dear friend, Heather's elegant wedding dress handmade by her mom, and gorgeous vocal performances by talented guests.

liz + jerome : : shelter harbor golf club, charlestown, ri

I met Liz and Jerome when Liz was a bridesmaid in her friend Jeanne's wedding last summer, so it was such a treat to see lots of familiar faces when it was their turn to tie the knot this July! Their wedding ceremony was held in lovely little Weekapaug Chapel, officiated by the wonderful Victoria Burdick. Before the start of the reception, family gathered for a traditional Chinese tea ceremony (complete with confetti cannons), and then it was off to the Shelter Harbor Golf Club for the party. Lots of laughter, fun, and crazy dancing ensued. A sweet note: toward the end of the evening, Jerome sang a little serenade to his bride, accompanied by members of his Trinity College a cappella group.
