Leslie & Scott – Married at the Boston Harbor Hotel

Alexandra — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:10:30 +0000

Leslie and Scott were married at the Boston Harbor Hotel earlier this month. I don’t know what has been going on with this weather, but it was of course supposed to pour all day, and early in the day it totally looked like it was going to. I’ve told all my brides who are worried about the rain that it “absolutely” won’t rain on their day, and this was the 8th wedding this year that it indeed held off for them! I know I will regret saying this one day, ha! What can you do? Nothing.

The Chickenslacks were the band that Leslie & Scott hired for their wedding, and if you’ve never been to the Cantab on Thursday nights to boogie to their music, you definitely should! I was so excited to work with them! I also loved the flowers (I know, flowers are normally not my thing!) by Lotus Designs in Boston. Leslie’s step-mother made cake-pops as escort cards, and I got to eat a couple extra, yum!

Thank you Leslie & Scott for having me at your wedding and congratulations on your marriage!

Alaina & Tom are engaged to be married!

Get a load of these cuties! Alaina and Tom are friends of mine (yay!) and I couldn’t have been happier for them when they anounced their engagement just minutes before Hell Night at East Coast Grill (Where I think we all bonded through the pain… :-p)! They will be married in Rhode Island in October which will be about peak folliage season over there. Can you say gorgeous? For their shoot they wanted to go to their favorite brunch spot (Scup’s in the Harbour) and when we arrived, we learned that they were not reopening for the summer due to medical problems. So. Sad. We got to walk around a little bit which I higly suggest doing if you haven’t before. It’s like an outdoor art exhibit. I’ve included some scenery photos below just so you can see how cool it is over there. Thank you Alaina and Tom for letting me document this exciting time in your life!

Christina & Nick, married at the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation

I love these two. They are like, cuter than baby bunnies piled on top of bulldog puppies with kittens crawling all over PLUS a cherry on top. I have nothing else to say other than their families are equally cute in every way (now I know where they get it from!). I felt like part of the family all day and night, and there’s nothing better than that. Did I mention how much I love my job? Christina and Nick, thank you so much for having me document your wedding. To see Polaroids that I took during their day, check here.

Anna & Steve

Alexandra — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 01:27:25 +0000

Anna & Steve were married at Steve’s childhood church in Clinton, MA and the reception was held at Butternut Farms. You might remember them from their engagement session with their two adorable (and extremely well-behaved) goldens. I love Anna & Steve because they were my official first wedding booking and my last wedding of the year. I think I had zero portfolio to show them, maybe a couple from second shooting. I remember nervously walking into Starbucks on my lunch break to meet with them and as we were sitting there my boss walked in! I totally ignored him, I think he knew what was up. I cannot thank my couples this year enough (especially these two!) for taking a chance on me!

I was totally in love with this couple’s family. Anna is from Russia and her parents had actually never been to an American wedding! Her mum was so concerned that she was doing everything correct, it was adorable. I told her she could fall on her face, her skirt flying over her head and everything would still be awesome. She laughed. I loved watching the way Steve’s dad played with the children, totally a kid at heart! Here are the photographs…

Denisse + Anthony: Married – Boston Wedding Photographer

Alexandra — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 02:16:22 +0000

I introduce you to Denisse & Anthony. They were married at Our Lady Help in Newton and their reception followed at the Hyatt in Cambridge on Memorial Drive. The Hyatt has great floor to ceiling windows with the gorgeous Boston skyline in full view! I had never shot here, but I am stoked because I have another wedding here later in the year. Their wedding had a beachy theme – turquoise with pink and orange accents. I loved that they had a candy bar for people to fill little bags up with treats to take on the road after.

What I found funny was everything was going as expected and about an hour after the reception started they busted out into “la hora loca”, which is a Peruvian tradition and I must say, it was CRAZY! You’ll see.

Classic Boston weather being Bostony, hehe :

La hora loca begins!

Thank you for visiting!

Janice + Chris :: A Wedding in Tuscany pt 4

Alexandra — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 03:38:37 +0000

Hello hello! Thank you for coming back for part 4 of the Tuscany wedding extravaganza! I’ll have to say, I am a little sad that this is my last Italy post. I loved going through these images every night (There were many thousands!) picking out the best ones and seeing Janice and Chris every day! Not to mention all of your thoughts as well :-p I’ll miss looking at your faces J & C, but I’m sure I’ll see you soon.

Onto our day after shoot in Lucca!

Yahoo! I hope you enjoyed these images! We had such a blast the day after the wedding and it was around 80 degrees outside that day, these two are troopers. We also had Nicole and Mike assist with the shoot because I had a few polaroids with me and they helped me swap out film packs

Janice + Chris : A Wedding in Tuscany

Alexandra — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 00:49:52 +0000

Welcome to part 2 of the wedding in Italy! Today is the wedding day and we start off by going to Lucca town hall. Before you can legally be married in Italy and for it to look legit in the US, you must first be married in “the eyes of Italy”. We headed over to the beautiful town hall for the simple ceremony with Janice and Chris’ two witnesses, Sally and Steve.

First an outfit shot. Janice and Chris have such great style, I kept wanting to get outfit shots of them, here is the one from the wedding day!

^ yay, married! ^ But once we got back to the Villa it was “shhh shhh don’t tell anyone!”
Janice and Chris know me well enough by now that when there is a sweet tree to be seen, they pose next to it for me! xoxo

Prosecco toast!

Their rings are too sweet. Janice’s is obviously gorgeous with the giant sapphire in the middle but if you look carefully you will see that they are engraved on the inside. The couple met at Sound Bites in Ball Square, anyone from around here knows that Sound Bites has *the best* pancakes around, and their fried mashed potatoes, oh ma gah. Mango Banana were the pancakes Janice was eating and Chocolate Coconut was Chris’ dish. So cute!

I am so in love with Janice’s dress, I love the off-white silk and the one shoulder strap. You don’t see too many dresses with the one shoulder these days.

The entire time in Italy, no occasion (or should I say hour?) went by without a bottle of prosecco nearby! You’ll notice a blue theme all around this wedding. Another thing that I loved was that all the guests wore blue. There group was small enough where that was something that was easy to achieve and it was a nice touch that Janice threw into the mix. Everyone looked so great together.

There was not one dry eye in the group. Even my viewfinder was fogging up. Because everyone got so close during the week, emotions overflowed as we listened to Janice and Chris exchange heartfelt vows that they wrote to each other.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look! I think I will be making this a 4 parter, after all. Don’t forget to come back and see our day after shoot (Janice and Chris both in wedding gear!) around Lucca!

xoxo

❉ Allie + Steve are Engaged! – Boston’s Beacon Hill ❉

Alexandra — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:47:48 +0000

This weekend I got to photograph these two, Allie and Steve. They just got engaged in October and are currently planning their wedding here in Boston. These two are a-dorable! We went in and around Beacon Hill and I’ve never really walked around that area, so it was a lot of fun finding all these awesome places to shoot.

You are the ones who help me grow and get better at what I do. Leave me a comment, I’d love to know what you think!

You can see the rest of the gallery here.
