Editorial: Moody, Glamorous Newport Wedding at Queen Anne's Loft

Iโ€™m so excited to share the photos from this modern, moody, dramatic, ultra glam wedding editorial we did at Queen Anneโ€™s Loft in Newport, RI this past winter. It was a gorgeous day and the sun was streaming through their floor to ceiling windows creating the most breathtaking light. We got to photograph three unbelievable gowns from The Bridal Garden. Those two black owns stopped us in our tracks! Big thanks to Dana Marie Weddings for coordinating such a safe, inspiring, well put together dayโ€ฆ

Editorial: All You Need Is Love - A Rockstar Elopement at the House of Blues Boston

Amidst the pandemic, couples have had to get creative to make their weddings extra special as they downsize and reimagine their day. Inspired by the burst of creativity weโ€™re seeing in couples, and a love story to everything we miss doing before COVID - this shoot tells the story of a pair of long-time touring musicians who decide to tie the knot in an impromptu celebration with their closest friends and family at the place they feel most home. Having traveled the world playing music, they couldnโ€™t imagine a more perfect way to tie the knot than outside their fav local venue - the House of Blues - under a dope custom marquee that reads โ€œAll You Need Is Loveโ€โ€ฆ

Wedding: A Lyman Estate Wedding in Waltham, MA

Dan + Jill met through a mutual friend, a roommate of Jillโ€™s at the time. They had seen each other before at shows on Rugg Road (heck yea!). They chatted for a bit on facebook until one day Dan showed up on her front steps. She didnโ€™t really know him, so they had their first date right there on the front porch. It went so well she ended up inviting him inside and cooking him dinnerโ€ฆ

Wedding: Sex In The City Inspired Microwedding at the Mandarin Oriental

Who else loves a good Carrie Bradshaw moment? From her modern, structured dress (a nod towards Bradshawโ€™s wedding suit from her marriage to Big), to her navy blue Manolo Blahniks, our bride was picture perfect. We loved her classic white bouquet from Winston Flowers and the backdrop of the gorgeous Mandarin Oriental in downtown Bostonโ€ฆ

Wedding: Rainy Rustic Barn Wedding at Zorvino Vineyards

We photographed Jess and Jimmyโ€™s engagement session in 2019 before COVID was even a thing, so coming back together on their actual scheduled wedding date felt like nothing short of a miracle. It was a warm late fall day in Sandown, NH. Rain hung in the air, threatening to change the coupleโ€™s plans to have an outdoor ceremony (which it eventually did). That being said, we love a good grey New England day during the fall - just look at how the colors pop everywhereโ€ฆ

Wedding: Dark & Moody Halloween Microwedding at Hammond Castle

You canโ€™t ask for a more perfect wedding venue than historic Hammond Castle, which sits right on the water in Gloucester, MA. Everything about this incredible castle is absolute decadence, from the indoor courtyard to the massive main hall with ceilings as high as Hogwarts. We were so excited to photograph this spooky, moody, full moon microwedding for Monica and Robert this past Halloweenโ€ฆ

Styled Shoot: Traditional Meets Modern for this Edgy Couple

Featured on Bespoke Bride + Dancing With Her.

When planning and designing weddings, we often find couples feel pressure to match their aesthetic to something that someone is telling them to be. Whether itโ€™s family saying it needs to be formal, Instagram telling them it should be light and airy, or a venue that says it needs to be on a farm and rustic. Our muses, a real couple named Rebecca and Maya, were bursting at the seams with personality. Their natural beauty, edgy style, glamorous demeanor, and queer love were all things that needed to be celebratedโ€ฆ
