We had a great time at Janessa and Brendan’s wedding rehearsal last Friday! They’re actually living in Hollywood right now but decided to get married back here since they’re both originally from Massachusetts. Actually, Brendan and Janessa grew up down the street from each other and have been in local plays together since they were 10 and 11 years old!
So all of their friends and family travelled from near and far (lots of people travelled in from around the country for their wedding…) and veryone came together for a great party at Brendan’s parents’ house! Brendan’s mom actually called us last year about photographing their wedding but we had just booked another wedding for the same date. We were so crushed that the dates conflicted but then Brendan’s mom called us last week and asked us if we’d be available for their rehearsal the evening before. You can imagine how excited we were that we had that date open! So off we went to Methuen where they had set up an enormous tent behind their home and had the entire event catered (bbq-style!). The first thing that greeted all of their family and friends when they first arrived was the yummy aroma of fresh meat and vegetables on the grill. And even though it started to rain everyone stayed nice dry under the tent listening to their great band, Wood-n-Steel!
We snuck out in between raindrops and were able to get some great family portraits done as well as a few of Janessa and Brendan, too, including this one:
Another highlight at the rehearsal was when Brendan go up and starting playing some Buddy Holly songs on the guitar. It turns out he starred as Buddy Holly in different productions around the country! Now he’s been working on some short films and commercials over the past year, so keep an eye out for him!
Here’s an image of another cool feature - the chocolate fountain! Always a big hit!
We heard from Brendan’s mom that the wedding on Saturday was absolutely perfect, too! We wish you guys all of the best and can’t wait to see you again soon!
