Which is a great feeling for both parties to have when I’m about to photograph you for an hour. icon smile Ashleigh + Henry at The Mack House So after our first session together, I knew their wedding would be a blast, and lo and behold, it did not disappoint.

Everything was DIY, down to cooking the food a few nights before the wedding with friends! Aaron’s mom arranged the flowers, Aaron’s brother preformed the music (as you’ll see, Aaron’s family is musically inclined) and a family friend preformed the ceremony. So needless to say, a lot of love and effort went into their wedding. Also, Miriam is a crazy amazing Latin dancer, which she wasted no time breaking out.

I even notated this after our conversation: “Super in love, really cute together.” I sometimes take notes after a meeting to remember the details of what was discussed, since weddings can be a year+ after our initial consultation. So here they are, very much in love, on their wedding day.

It was sort of like a musical, props were involved, there was some lip syncing and of course a lot of humor. Although the entire day was filled with laughter, if you can’t tell by Sarah’s expressions…

I knew as soon as we met, we were a great fit for one another. Their wedding day was beautiful, relaxed, and simply a good ol’ time. Despite the run in Gavin’s face had with a random drunk Bostonian the night before their wedding, nothing was going to stop the Rowland/Paul wedding! Thank you to the both of you for making me feel so welcome!

There was a ton of laughter throughout the day, and incredible views in every direction.

The issue is on stands through the end of July, check it out!

Also, I moved into my new studio on Newbury Street at the end of April, and I haven’t had the chance to share any pictures yet, so without further ado, a few of the things I’ve been up to:

They eloped last week in New York City with just their immediate families present, and plan to throw a big bash next year in June, with all the fixin’s.

After papers were signed, and Miggy became Mrs. Min, we wandered around the clerks office and headed up to Richie’s roof deck for a few shots overlooking the city.
