Sara and Ed || Chase House at Mill Falls || Meredith, NH

I love seeing past clients at weddings, it definitely means I'm doing something right! I shot Meghan and Sam's wedding in 2004, and Meghan played matchmaker with her friend Sara and Sam's brother Ed. They put me in touch with Sara, and we worked everything out over the phone, so I didn't even meet her until the wedding day. She knew she was in good hands, and we had a great time!

We started out at the Chase House at Mill Falls.




It was a pretty overcast day that shifted into downpours, but such nice soft light here before the ceremony.

Sara and her sister - don't they have gorgeous eyes?


Sara, girl after my own heart, had a bowl of m&m's on hand for some last minute snacking before a few quick formals before the ceremony.





The ceremony was at First Congregational Church of Meredith.The minister printed out this little map for everyone so they would know how to line up - adorable, no?










Still not raining after the ceremony, so we went down to the lake (that's Lake Winnipesaukee) for some pictures.  






I love this one that I took because of the reflection....


and this one that Kelly took because of the ducks!  The line of the ducks leads your eye right to Sara and Ed.





.......and we're done!!  We just finished up and it started to rain.

The place settings had pictures of them at the same ages when they were little.  They were so cute and great conversation pieces.



Kelly on the spot again with the Shout wipes!

Oh yeah, it's my rainbow umbrella again!









I had only just met Sara, and she was pretty quiet while getting ready and even the formals, but I swear the dance floor was open for about 2 minutes and she was a crazy person out on the dance floor!!

Maureen and Luke || Commandant's House || Charlestown, Massachusetts

What a gorgeous day Maureen and Luke had for their wedding! Which, was no small feat given the weather we've had. I didn't even take out my rainbow umbrella! They had the reception at the lovely Commandant's House in Charlestown. Maureen got ready there, and there were plenty of places to shoot.

She got her dress at Allegria Bridal.




I like this one of her & her dress!


Maureen and Luke took dance lessons on the sly, and she didn't want anyone to see that her shoes were scuffed up from practicing.  She didn't think that they would be good for a shoe picture, but I think they did just fine.....



I love how excited and happy she looks in this picture.






I couldn't stop shooting!  How cool is this place?



Luke grinning ear to ear as Maureen comes down the aisle with her dad.




The ceremony was held at St. Mary's Church in Charlestown, and it was just stunning.

After the ceremony, we walked down to City Square for a few pictures - bring on the sun!




It was great to see Tes from Trolleys by Tes again. She was at Catherine and Kevin's wedding in July. We zipped back to the Navy Yard.


While the bridal party joined the reception, Jenna from the Commandant's House brought us over to the U.S.S. Constitution for a few pictures of Maureen & Luke. Nothing like cutting to the front of the line and feeling like a rock star!


Just a few more pictures...here's Kelly's...


and here's mine...don't they look like Mr. & Mrs. Boston?





Bunker Hill Florist did the flowers...




In lieu of favors, they made a donation to the Boston Celtics (Maureen's employer - how cool!) Shamrock Foundation.


Morin's Catering took care of all of the food and the cake. Not only was everything gorgeous, but it was delicious, too!




So, Luke & Maureen totally wow-ed everyone with their first dance, but I just love how excited/relieved Luke was when it was all over - check out this series -


With the first dance out of the way, Maureen's sister made her toast. She said that she looked lovely enough to be on the cover of a magazine - but wait! she's already been on the cover of a magazine!


Here's Maureen on the cover of National Geographic's World magazine - awesome.






Congratulations!!! Many more to come!
