Jenny and Matt

The first thing I think of when I think of Jenny and Matt is the wise old saying, “Looks can be deceiving.” We first met Jenny and Matt quite some time before their wedding this summer. Jenny is this beautiful, petite and very soft spoken breath of fresh air and you instinctively want to just protect her from anyone and anything that could possibly harm her. When I say looks are deceiving, though, it’s because in the months that I’ve gotten to know her, I quickly realized that Jenny is actually one of strongest women I know – she’s intellectually brilliant, can think quickly on her feet and she is not someone who can be pushed around. When they say good things come in small packages? That’s Jenny…to a T!

Jenny and Matt had such a beautiful day for their wedding and one of the moments that we were most excited about was when Jenny and Matt would see each other privately before the ceremony. They were both so nervous and so excited. Jenny practically raced out of her suite as soon as she was ready so we could go meet Matt and Rene. None of us could wait! And that moment definitely lived up to every expectation we all had:

Because Jenny and Matt were having their ceremony and reception at the Boston Seaport Hotel, we were able to schedule some time after their meeting so that we could walk around the entire outdoor area along the harbor for their portrait session. It was a perfect day, with the breeze blowing (perfect for a veil!) and the sun shining. Add one beautiful couple in love and you have every photographer’s dream:

As with all Jewish ceremonies, Jenny and Matt had a beautiful kettubah signing just before the start of their ceremony. The Kettubah itself was exquisite and detailed. But my absolute favorite moment was when the rabbi was reading the kettubah aloud for family and friends. Jenny and Matt’s faces truly say it all….this is what really matters:

I knew the moment we walked into their reception that I would be posting a lot of images showing off the details that Jenny had spent so much time on. Everything was so perfect from the centerpieces designed by Lotus Designs:

To the homemade cookies that were baked using Jenny’s grandmother’s own recipe:

This was a wedding that blended new love with time honored traditions and did it all in beautifully elegant way….the perfect reflection of Jenny and Matt.
