Jesse has known Katie his entire life, and so when we had the opportunity to photograph her wedding, we couldn’t be happier. Katie and Josh got married where Jesse and I grew up, and we love going home for weddings. (Our parents love it too…) Katie and Josh got married at Sacred Heart Parish in Webster, MA- where Jesse and both attended as kids (but never knew each other!) and it is by far the most beautiful church we’ve ever been (in the US). Their reception was at the Publick House in Sturbridge, which is antique and old-worldly.Even though Jesse and I are now Marshfield and Boston wedding photographers, it’s always fun to go home for Sturbridge weddings, especially when the couple is so nice and fun. Congrats Katie and Josh! Let’s get together soon!

Katie's Maggie Sottero Dress


The wedding ceremony in Sacred Heart Parish in Webster, MA

Detail of Katie's dress. It was so ethereal

Something a little artsy from the ceremony

Isn't the church striking?

They're married! (Where's waldo- try to guess where Jesse's mom and sister are.)

Katie and Josh made time between the ceremony and reception. It's possible to get nice photos between the two if you leave enough time!

the first dance

I love how happy Josh looks here

The wedding topper was Katie's grandparents'

Tears were flowing during the father/daughter dance- and not just from those on the dancefloor. It was a really beautiful moment


I love the use of berries in the bouquets- how autumny!

Spoiler alert! This will grace Katie and Josh's thank you cards. Katie wanted to take them toward the end of the night so they looked relaxed and happy!

Party! Rumor has it that the party lasted until the morning!


So true – when couples schedule extra time for photos they get stunning results. Love the photo outside the reception venue!
