We have been so excited to post about Andrea and Dan’s wedding. We started talking about what images we would post on the blog while we were on our way home at the end of the evening!
Andrea and Dan had a beautiful ceremony at St. Catherine of Genoa in Somerville and then their reception was at the beautiful Gamble Mansion in downtown Boston. We started the day, though, by spending some time with them as they got ready in their hotel rooms:
And the beautiful, beautiful Andrea arriving at the church for their ceremony:
Their church was absolutely beautiful and Andrea and Dan decided to take all of their family formals there right after the ceremony which worked out so perfectly. We also took advantage of the beautiful backdrop for a gorgeous portrait of the newly married Andrea and Dan!
Part of what made Andrea and Dan’s day so special was being surrounded by their close friends and family who are just as warm and loving as they are. Their wedding party was just so much fun to be around and we all had a blast together. Seriously….how can you not have fun when you’re around a flowergirl who is this excited?
The original plan of action was to take all of their wedding party formals as well as have their own session in the Boston Public Gardens (where Dan proposed to Andrea not too long ago!) and then walk over to the nearby Gamble Mansion for their reception. That didn’t quite work out as planned, though, since the warm summer rains came through and we needed to quickly come up with a Plan B. So we headed over to the Gamble Mansion directly for their photos and we just couldn’t help but say over and over again how happy we were that things worked out the way that they did! Our portrait session with just Andrea and Dan was so fabulous and Rene and I were on such a high - we couldn’t wait to show them how it turned out! The mansion is beautiful and has so many great architectural details that we just had so much fun with, and Andrea and Dan just really couldn’t be more amazing to photograph. Here’s a little peek at some of the images we created together:
If you’ve never seen the Gamble Mansion, it’s really such a treat to visit and absolutely one of the most elegant locations for a wedding. This was the beautiful scene that greeted their guests as they entered the main dining room:
Everyone had such an amazing time all evening long. Andrea and Dan are FABULOUS dancers and treated their guests to a first dance that no one will forget for a long time! And it really set the tone for the rest of the evening. And here’s one of their fun-loving flower girls again helping to take a photo of Andrea and Dan. I can so relate to this image…half the fun of taking a photo is getting excited about the results with your subjects!
Before the evening ended, we decided to sneak outside with Andrea and Dan for one list mini-session on beautiful Commonwealth Ave in Boston:
Andrea and Dan are already back from their dream honeymoon in Europe and the photos they’ve shown us so far are amazing! We can’t wait to see you again soon!
