It was warm for December so we used the last few minutes of winter daylight for posed photos outside.

Twilight signaled that it was time for the wedding ceremony.

Kevin began the processional remembering his mother by laying flowers next to her photo.

Kevin’s brother officiated their ceremony with a unique mix of dry humor and heartfelt solemnity,

During the exchange of rings, the ring pillow was first passed to each guest, giving them a chance to add their silent wish for the couple.

Sadly, their much beloved kitty Parker wasn’t able to attend the wedding, though he did join them on the cake.

(Hopefully I didn’t just give away anyone’s secret identity.)

The family room doubled as a dining room for dinner and toasts, then everyone gathered in the living room to complete the evening with some hilarious party games.

Congratulations again Catherine and Kevin!

First up are a few of my favorite images of J:

N also joined us and here are a few photos from her session:

By the way, Andree also used this shoot as an example of how to put together a model shoot for the ShootStyle blog. If you’re a photographer interested in hosting your own model shoot, you should check it out.

Once the sun began to set, we traded in the urban landscape for the somewhat more bucolic backdrop of the Chestnut Hill Reservoir.

Congratulations Caitrin and Greg! Can’t wait to see you again in July!

 
Moment Junkie forgos the gauzy details of flowers, shoes, decor, and portraits to serve up a daily stream of emotional, humerous, memorable and otherwise remarkable photos of unscripted instants from real weddings—providing a counterpoint to the genre of photography purveyed by most wedding blogs.

For me nothing is more gratifying than artfully capturing these fleeting moments because they often become the images my couples cherish most.

We used the seaport area as a backdrop for some posed photos, then it was off to the ceremony.

Brian and Melissa have roots in a number of places including Boston, Madison, and Illinois – so family and guests from all over joined them for their simple and touching courtyard ceremony.

The modern Artists For Humanity EpiCenter was designed as the first green certified building in the city of Boston. And though it hosts groovy events like Melissa and Brian’s wedding, it’s primary mission is AFH’s youth program which pairs urban teens with professional artists and designers to create and sell fine art and design services. This important mission makes the Epicenter an outstanding backdrop for a celebration.

Melissa and Brian’s reception was an elegant evening of bread breaking, congratulatory wishes and raucous fun.

Congratulations again Melissa and Brian!

If you’re a fan of beaches and grand entrances, the Wequassett is a great spot for a wedding. Francis got his first glimpse of Sarah as she descended the patio stairs accompanied by her parents.

After the ceremony we took advantage of the Wequassett’s lovely grounds for some fun portraits.

A first dance on the Patio followed by lighthearted yet sincere speeches over lunch in the dining room rounded out their wedding day.

Congratulations again Sarah and Francis!
