Molly and Will exchanged letters and gifts with each other, it's safe to say Molly was delighted with the Tiffany earrings that Will send over.
Adorable boutonnieres, just wait until you see the bouquets...
All the sparkle!
I'm bang in the middle of wedding season right now, and if there's one things I'd share with couples with upcoming weddings, it's to allow more time for EVERYTHING! Everything takes longer than you expect on a wedding day - hair, make up, getting dressed, getting your wedding party onto the transportation etc etc - if you pad your day with extra time then you have time to enjoy a little toast with your closest friends and you minimize stress!
Audrey crashed the men's locker room to photograph Will and the guys.
Cards and a little Johnny Walker Blue for the guys:
Dapper groomsmen:
Will was rather delighted with his Tiffany"infinity" cufflinks from Molly:
Loved the color of the bridesmaid dresses and the beautiful blush tones of the bouquets:
When your wedding dress is an intricate and beautiful as Molly's, you need some close up detail pictures:
Katrina Hess was the make up artist that made Molly look even more beautiful than usual!
Audrey caught Will in a quiet moment just before the ceremony:
If your wedding venue has a balcony (or if you have a lot of guests or if you're doing formal pictures during cocktail hour), it can be worth adding a third photographer to your collection). All of these aerial shots are thanks to Lindsay who joined me for the day:
Molly walked down the aisle with her proud father and Will was waiting with the biggest smile, the ceremony was so sweet and thoughtful with a couple of big laughs in between the moving readings:
Married!!!!
We walked over to a quiet shady area to take family pictures:
Meanwhile guests enjoyed all sorts of cocktails, champagne and hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour. And yes, that IS a bacon bar. Most genius wedding idea ever. Guests were walking around and chatting with strips of bacon in both hands!
I photographed the beautifully coordinated wedding party and then some relaxed family portraits:
I had a few minutes with Molly and Will to take some just-married pictures, this is one of my favorite images. Another top tip, if you don't want to do a first look and take pictures before the wedding, it can be helpful to extend your cocktail hour to 90 minutes.
Molly's father welcomed everyone and then the best man and maid of honor toasts brought the house down!
There was a wonderfully relaxed feel to Molly & Will's wedding at The Country Club, Brookline, MA. After cocktails on the patio, all the guests came inside to watch the first dance and parent dances before visiting one of the many food stations for made-to-order risotto, carved meats, crab cakes and much more.
Yum, yum, yum:
A cake this pretty needs to be cut with....? What else but a ceremonial sword that's been in Will's family for a long time?
The dancefloor opened and was immediately packed:
Molly & Will - thank you for choosing me as your wedding photographer. It was an absolute pleasure working with you both! Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, health and happiness!
On the blog next, we'll head up to Maine for Sarah & Jerry's beautiful Kennebunk wedding, then back down to Newport for Kaylee & Casey's Belle Mer wedding, that'll followed by Katie & Zirui's wedding in beautiful
