Dancing the Night Away with Esther & Will

From the second I met Esther and Will over a Google Meet, I knew we would get along. They both have an infectious energy and laughter that lights up the room. Their beautiful wedding was at Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA. Surrounded by so many friends and family (and their dog Joji!) we celebrated their union. One of my favorite parts of Esther and Will’s wedding was how much you could tell that they were loved. Their vows had me in tears, and all their friends and family were celebrating together as one. They walked down the aisle to a rendition of “Leaves from the Vine” (IYKYK), and I definitely shed a tear.

Esther and Will’s wedding was a reminder that as hectic and stressful as wedding days can be, if you truly focus on the reason that you are there, everything will be ok.

You love each other. Everyone is here to celebrate you. Let’s party.

Phoebe and Tucker’s Joyful Wedding on the Northshore

Phoebe and Tucker’s wedding was nothing short of magical. Held at a beautiful golf course on the Northshore, their day was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Phoebe and Tucker’s love story began at a college party. Their connection was instant and has only grown stronger over the years. Their wedding day was a joyful celebration of that love, surrounded by friends and family who adore them.

The Northshore golf course provided a gorgeous backdrop for their big day. With its lush greenery and expansive views, it was the perfect setting. As the sun set, the golden light added a romantic touch, making every moment even more special.

One of the most unique touches was the wooden flowers made by Phoebe’s mom. Each flower was handcrafted with love, adding a personal and beautiful element to the wedding decor. It was beautiful to see the personal elements and hard work that Phoebe’s family put into her wedding day.

Another unique element of their day was the cake cutting. Instead of opting for a regular wedding cake, Phoebe and Tucker shared a Banoffee Pie, “a British dessert pie made from bananas, whipped cream, and a thick caramel sauce, combined either on a buttery biscuit base or one made from crumbled biscuits and butter.” With Phoebe’s family being from England, and this being the first dessert that she made for Tucker when they met, this seemed like the perfect fit.

Phoebe and Tucker’s wedding was a beautiful blend of love, family, and personal touches. I am  honored to have captured these memories for them, preserving the magic of their special day forever.
