Jen and Jared have just arrived home after spending their honeymoon in Aruba, so what a perfect time to share the highlights from their wedding! Their ceremony and reception were held at the Spring Valley Country Club in Sharon, MA. It was a gorgeous sunny day which meant that we were able to take advantage of the perfect grounds for their formals. That’s one of the great things about having a wedding at a country club – they’re so particular about their grounds and so they are almost always pristine!
The afternoon started with Jen and Jared getting ready, though. I met Jen at the country club which already has a really beautiful bridal room – it had all this light pouring in and wide open spaces. It was a hive of activity when I arrived as the girls were getting ready and Jen was having her makeup applied by Brea Cherna of Makeup by Brea. Meanwhile, Rene met the boys who were a little less…..hurried.
Another highlight for us was when Jen and Jared opted to see each other before the ceremony. Almost all of our couples last year and this year are choosing to do this and it has given us the opportunity to photograph some beautifully emotional moments. I’ve been posting them here on the blog so we can share them since we love those moments so much! Jen and Jared’s first meeting was everything they hoped it would be. They were by themselves as Jen made her way to see Jared…
And Jared’s reaction once he saw Jen for the first time:
We then spent some time having fun with their family and wedding party as well. It was great to be outside in the sun!
We all then went inside for a private ketubah signing. It was held in the bridal suite which was absolutely perfect and it meant that all of their family could surround Jared and Jen as they signed the ketubah together. I love Jen and her gorgeous personality so much – here she is taking a deep breath before signing her name to the contract:
One thing that Jen and Jared had asked us to do for them was to arrange for a quick night session with them once the sun went down. It only took about 5 or 10 minutes and it produced some of our favorite images – they rocked it!
We spent an incredible day with them, laughing and really enjoying every second. That was one of the best parts of documenting their wedding….Jen and Jared truly wanted to enjoy every second to the fullest. It was perfect and we’re so happy that we were there with them!
