It finally happened! Lauren and Glenn officially tied the knot a couple of weeks ago! We’ve been waiting for a long time for their wedding to arrive. You might actually recognize Lauren and Glenn from their engagement session in Salem just a couple of months ago which you can see here.
Their engagement session really did a good job of putting us on pins and needles waiting for their wedding day to arrive. We had so much fun and the reality of it is that we just love these guys to pieces. Both Lauren and Glenn have the BEST sense of humor and we just kept each other laughing all day long. They were both so incredibly calm leading right up to the ceremony. No crazy last minute nerves, nothing too stressful - it was all very zen-like! So - as we usually do - Rene and I split up before the wedding and in addition to some fun getting ready photos we were able to sneak in a few portraits of both Lauren and Glenn. First here’s one of mine of the incredibly gorgeous Lauren:

You know what blows me away all the time? We’ve known Lauren and Glenn for a while now and every single time I see her eyes, I just completely melt. Aren’t they truly breathtaking? She must be so sick of hearing me say that because I can’t resist saying it every time I see her, too. We took this portrait literally moments before we ran out the door to go to the church. And it was actually taken right in her parents’ newly renovated kitchen. All we needed was a little stool for Lauren to sit on and a chair for me to stand on and Lauren did the rest with those stop-traffic eyes.
Meanwhile, all of the guys and Rene had arrived at the church and Rene took this great portrait of the ever suave Glenn using nothing more than the light that pouring in from one of the front doors:

Their ceremony was held in Swampscott and then we all made our way to the beautiful Seaport Hotel in Boston for an incredible reception for their 300 guests! The one thing I have to mention are all of the details that Lauren and Glenn thought of. From the incredibly beautiful monogrammed aisle runner at the church, to the the rock star bus (literally!) for their wedding party, to the dessert buffet at the reception, there were tiny little personal touches everywhere you looked that day. They overlooked nothing and it made it so much fun for their guests to find all of the little treats all day long. I just can’t figure out how they were able to do it all!!
Once we got to the Seaport we took some time out for some photos of their families and their wedding party. Fun little side story about their wedding party. We photographed the wedding of one Glenn’s groomsmen last years (Hi Pete and Heather - and happy anniversary!!). We’re also photographing one of Lauren’s bridesmaid’s wedding next year (Hi Michelle and Scott!!) and also in attendance at their wedding was Kate and Tim - another couple we also recently photographed! We’re beginning to suspect that Kate and Tim are serious groupies, though, because they’ve popped up at quite a few of our weddings since their own!! 
But I have say, that’s a lot of Tirado couples at one wedding! It definitely made for an incredibly fun evening!
But I digress! The rain actually was playing games with us all day and had been falling off and on throughout the entire afternoon. So we had a lot of fun playing “dodge the raindrops” as we took photos out in the garden at the Seaport Hotel. When we couldn’t be in the garden, we’d sneak inside for a few fun images and then head back out again! When we finally had a few moments alone with Lauren and Glenn we did the same exact thing! We were able to so many great images outside and then we even were trapped under an overhang for a while as the rain came pouring down which turned into a great opportunity to take some cool photos there with the wet cityscape behind them! It was so hard to pick out favorites for the blog but here’s one I knew I would love the second we took it!

Then we headed inside to enjoy the fantastic reception which was NONSTOP fun all evening long. Their band, Soho, is definitely one of our favorite bands ever and they rocked it all night long. We were blown away by how great they were. And Lauren and Glenn and all of their guests definitely enjoyed every single minute of it!!

After spending their honeymoon in beautiful Miami and Aruba (and now that we’ve drooled over all of their photos that they’ve already shared!) we finally have Lauren and Glenn’s entire gallery ready and we just can’t wait for them to see it!
Thank you both a million times for allowing us to be there with you. Not only was it everything we thought it would be, we feel like we walked away with so much more after getting to know you both. So thank you so much again and we can’t wait to see you soon!!
