I’m so excited to be posting about this wedding! It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for Liz and Jamie to get married. Which, of course, isn’t true. But it feels as though we’ve been friends with this fabulous couple forever and have been waiting for their wedding date for just as long. You may recognize Liz and Jamie from the very special beach session that we did back in September. Liz and Jamie took a train from New York city at 3AM and met us on the North Shore here in Massachusetts for this session!! Liz bought a dress for the occasion, Jamie was dressed in a great suit and they basically showed up and said, “Do whatever you want with us.” And that’s exactly what did! Take a look through our archives in September to take a peek at the incredible fun we had.
But enough about Septmeber — that was just a little tiny taste of the kind of fun we knew we’d have at their wedding on December 16. Liz and Jamie planned a winter themed wedding and they thought of absolutely everything to make it picture perfect. The only thing they forgot to do was pay just a little more hommage to Mother Nature. Because while the day dawned bright and beautiful…. it was also 50-something degrees. So Liz began her day in her beautiful wedding shoes, custom made winter sweatshirt — and her pink polka-dot shorts. It was just beautitful. I loved it! I especially loved that sweatshirt she wore that was custom made just for her:
Do you see the little snowflakes around her name? And did I mention how many fantastic little details Liz had thought of for their wedding?? They were married at one of the most beautiful old stone churches we’ve seen and everything was candlelit inside so it was just so romantic. As their guests approached the church they walked in between two rowes of luminaries with tealights burning inside. Gorgeous!
Then they had their reception at the Lakeview Pavillion. We’ve been there before so we knew it would be beautiful, but the staff really went above and beyond that night and really made it a special evening for both Liz and Jamie and their families. I can honestly go on and on, but instead, let me share a few of our favorite images from the wedding!
Here’s one of Jamie (who seriously should look into getting a contract at GQ or Men’s Vogue. He’s really good at well…looking good!):
And here’s another of Liz:
Having a little fun:
And now to show off Liz’ ring. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her hand all night and Jamie actually surprised her with an extra band for the set. As Liz said, “It’s completely obnoxious but I don’t care!!” And she definitely shouldn’t — it was just stunning on her hand. See?
There were so many things that made Liz and Jamie’s wedding speical and a LOT of it had to do with the friends and family that came to celebrate with them. They literally had friends that traveled from all over the world just to be there. We met friends from South Africa, from Australia, and from just about every corner of the world. The other thing that really stood out for us was being able to spend time with their families. Both Liz and Jamie’s families are just wonderful and I’m so happy that I got to spend so much time with Liz and her mom before the ceremony. They truly have such a beautifully close relationship. So thank you, thank you, thank you Liz and Jamie for letting us be a small part of your wonderful life together. We look forward to many more years of fun and laughter with you!
