We knew the moment that we met with Rita and Scott that we were beginning a fabulous and long relationship with them. We have so much in common with them and couldn’t wait to photograph their wedding to document why they are such a special couple. They spent so much time on the details for the wedding…not to create details that are “must haves”, but instead to create touches that were very personal and unique to them. The end result was a day that was filled with a lot of love, creativity and pure happiness. It was just so beautiful!!
Rita and Scott decided that they wanted to see each other privately before the ceremony and then schedule their portrait sessions beforehand as well so that they could enjoy their entire cocktail hour. One of our favorite parts of the day is when our couple see each other privately. The emotion and pure happiness is completely unlike any other experience. What’s great about these moments as well is that both Rene and I are able to capture it from different vantage points. Here’s a sequence of images from Rita and Scott’s very special moment:
We had such a blast with their own portrait session as well. They chose to have their ceremony and reception at the very picturesque Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA. The setting was absolutely stunning and perfect for their own portraits:
Rita purchased some beautiful parasols to use as decorative details during the ceremony. So we decided to borrow them for our session!
Their ceremony was held right on the back lawn of the museum, on a ridge with absolute stunning views. It was such a perfect setting for a beautiful ceremony:
Now this is a fabulous first kiss!
Their reception was held in the tent adjacent to the museum again with beautiful scenic views all around. The timing was just right as the everyone was treated to a breathtaking sunset just as everyone sat down to enjoy a delicious dinner.
One of my favorite details was their centerpieces, made up of colorful gerbera daises and their tables were named after their favorite restaurants:
Another highlight for us was getting to work with one of our favorite djs – DJ Erik Buford with the Event Experience. We’ve been working with him a lot this year which is just fabulous since he is so great at what he does. If you’ve read our blog recently, you’ve probably seen him mentioned before here and probably know that we might be a little biased since he was our own DJ over nine years ago! On top of having a lot of experience, Erik is just a very classy DJ who simply rocks every wedding with fabulous music. And I truly believe that one of the reasons Erik is so successful is because he really he loves what he does. See?
We’re now working on Rita and Scott’s album (already!) and we are so excited to create an album that shows off their beautiful summer wedding!
