Cambridge, MA Wedding at City Hall and Harvest Restaurant {Ratnakar & Cheryl}

Congratulations Ratnakar and Cheryl! I had the pleasure of photographing this couple for their intimate wedding this past Saturday. We met up at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences to photograph some portraits of just the couple in an private setting. While we were just a few steps from the city, this area truly felt like a green oasis. It was the perfect spot to capture their first wedding day portraits and was only a short drive away from Cambridge City Hall.

This couple had the honor of having the Mayor of Cambridge, E. Dennis Simmons officiate their wedding ceremony. With their closest family and friends witnessing, they said their vows and were officially married in the Mayor's quarters in at Cambridge City Hall.

We were then able to sneak away for just a bit to photograph a few more portraits of the couple at the beautiful Longfellow House in Cambridge before heading over to their lunch reception at Harvest Restaurant.

While I was only with this couple for a few hours, it was clear to see that they had a picture perfect love. Congratulations again to this lovely couple!

Cambridge, MA City Hall Wedding {Wilberthe + Will}

There is nothing more intimate than a wedding ceremony with the bride and groom witnessed by their closest family and friends. I am honored that Wilberthe and Will chose me to photograph their intimate wedding this May at the Cambridge City Hall. We met for their beautiful ceremony and  took portraits of the happy couple with their immediate families and best friends on the City Hall lawn.

I think many couples getting married at City Hall don't think to hire a photographer because it's not your typical wedding. Well, hopefully my series on intimate weddings can help change that because I have to say, I absolutely love photographing them. When you strip away the details and focus on the ceremony and the people you're the closest with, you're left with something so beautiful, it's hard to put to words. I encourage you to take a look through my intimate wedding series if you're thinking of cerebrating your wedding in an intimate way.

Congratulations to Wilberthe and Will! I am so happy for you! And now, please enjoy previews from their wedding day.

Boston, MA City Hall Wedding {Julie + Patrick}

This wedding has been featured on Borrowed & Blue!

Julie and Patrick held an intimate wedding with their closest friends and family this past summer in Boston. Their good friend married them in a beautiful ceremony in the Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park right on the water. Originally, the couple was planning to get married at Boston City Hall and we were going to walk to the park for photographs but their friend pointed out that she could marry them anywhere and why not hold the ceremony under the beautiful green, sun-splashed canopy as well. A street performer played some jazzy Sinatra, there was a light summer breeze, and the mood was perfect.

I absolutely love photographing intimate weddings because they are just that, intimate. The sometimes-over-the-top details are left behind and the true love intention of the day, shared with those closest to you, remains. I couldn't help but tear up a bit when they said their vows. The way they looked at each other and down towards Julie's belly and their little one on the way had everyone a little teary-eyed and full of smiles.

The couple chose Lucca in the North End to enjoy some delicious Italian food so we grabbed some photographs along the way in a few of Boston's iconic brick alleyways. I cannot wait to share a handful from their collection with you.

Best of luck to you, Julie and Patrick, and so much love to your little bundle of joy, too!
