Dress Fitting Fun!

Posted 04/08/2010 by Abby in what to wear \ 0 comments

Are you ready to move on to the next wedding because I am! Now that the wedding in Pennsylvania is over, it’s time to focus on the wedding in Ireland.

My family flew in to visit a couple weeks ago so I decided to take the opportunity to have my first dress fitting. Despite the mass flooding of 2010 we had …

Before the ceremony.

When last we left off, Andreas and I had just finished our photo shoot on the Greenway and Beacon Hill and were headed back to the Wang for the ceremony.

First though, we took some pictures with our fabulously dapper wedding party. Here’s Andreas with his guys.

And me with my unbelievably gorgeous ladies.

Our Boston Wedding Portraits

Hi friends. Time to continue our journey back through the wonderfulness that was our wedding in September. I know these wedding recap posts have been a bit slow coming, but you should count yourself LUCKY because we still haven’t finished our the thank you notes yet, which for me, I assure you, is excruciatingly guilt-inducing, but we’ve just been far …

Getting ready details

When we finally got to see the full set of professional photos from our wedding the response so far from our family and friends was overwhelming. People loved them. They made people cry, if you can believe it. And what’s more, they made people cry and I LOVE IT, I do. Cry some more, people. There, there. I know. …

Love Comes to Boston

I can’t wait to tell you all about our wedding over the holidays but first, I want to share with you some special photos!

A few months back my lovely photographer friend, Kate Rose, had a fundraiser for thirst relief and did a raffle for an engagement session.  I was so lucky to have won! We didn’t plan on doing an …

On the Morning of the Wedding…

Posted 12/04/2009 by Shelley in photography \ 1 comment

I’m not really sure how to begin to summarize our beautiful wedding, where to start putting into words the emotions I experienced that day.

It was a shiny, bright blue day in Boston. Warm, but with the first strains of fall detectable in the breeze. I remember driving from the hair salon to the hotel to get dressed and my cousin …

Boston Wedding Venue Ideas

Posted 11/24/2009 by Shelley in venues \ 5 comments

So I got a question the other day from someone doing research on Boston wedding venues, wondering if  we found any other venues in Boston (as in, other than The Wang Theatre where we got married) during our research that were really cool too. And the answer is yes. While the Wang provided the look we were going for in …

Rehearsal picnic

I’m still waiting for the official pictures to come back from our photographers (although they have given us a sneak peek!) so I thought I’d tell you all a little about our rehearsal “dinner”.

When it came to planning the rehearsal dinner, I was a bit stumped. I was trying to organize so many other details that it wasn’t a big …

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for offering their beautiful portfolios and photography services to me the last week!

I cannot thank you enough for all of the kind emails and inquires. It was a very difficult decision and I wish I could’ve picked each and everyone of you to share in my Wedding Day.

We decided to go with …

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

With our venue booked and our date secured, we needed to move quickly to lock in our other vendors. Reserving the Wang took a little longer than we thought, but luckily I had been researching and inquiring with other vendors all along, so within the span of a week after the Wang was done, we locked in our caterer, band, …

Hey everyone,

Hope you’re having very happy Saturdays. I’m currently off on a cake tasting with my Dad and Andreas! More on that to come.

Thanks again for the warm welcome last weekend. I have to say though, I’m glad we got the introductions out of the way! I’m ready to get you guys caught up on all my planning.

The very first …
