In Oct. 2009, Jesse and I were lucky enough to photography Andrea & Dan‘s wedding… in July 2011, I got to photograph their little boy. I love my life.

The Henderson House looks like an English manor… it was hot outside, but soooo beautiful and worth sweating a little for these photos

Well, in case you haven’t heard via facebook, Jesse and I have been quite obsessed with this little nugget lately:

Oh, and in case you don’t know what “XX” means, it’s a girl! (Well, they’re pretty sure it’s a girl, as they never tell you conclusively.) If this were a video and not a photo, you’d see her legs thumping the sides of my uterus pretty steadily. It’s a party in there, I swear.This was about about 7 weeks ago,  so I bet she’s at least 200x bigger. I’m no doctor, but I predict I’m having a 20 pound baby that can already walk. And if she can’t walk, she can at least dance. Hopefully she has my moves and not Jesse’s.

I’m due in October- so my brides will see a much larger version of myself at their weddings between now and then, and I’ll be posting some maternity photos in the  next couple of months. It’s amazing and wonderful and scary as hell to be pregnant and I love it.

Here’s the third (and final!) installment of Kerry and Mike’s wedding! This part shows the reception at Jones River Trading Co., a funky little gem of a place in Kingston, MA. Kerry loves nautical themes, so this was the PERFECT place for her. I love natural light, and you can see all that yummy light pouring in from the windows up by the ceiling. But aside from just being beautiful, the whole wedding was sustainable, recycled, and the venue provided organic food at a reasonable price.  It was a very green wedding, hence the potted plants and lack of cut flowers/etc.  The burlap was cut from old coffee bags, and the little jars on the table were baby food jars accumulated by friends and family and filled with seeds for replanting.

Kerry loves nautical themes, and this was the perfect place for her!

Thumbprint guest "book"

Mead from Ireland (where Kerry spent time in college) that her and Mike used for their first toast

the canvases that were painted by the wedding party and hung at the ceremony were brought to the reception and displayed...

Engagement photos that we took at Castle Island were also incorporated into the decor

The dessert table! Many guests made their specialties and brought them

the centerpieces were made by Kerry, her mother and mother in law; the table numbers were provided by Jones River Trading...

The "Mr" and "Mrs" sign for their chairs

The room was beautiful- natural light spilling in from the windows at the top of the room and the huuuuge row boat suspended above it all.

I love this artsy shot that Jesse snagged during the speeches.

Not to be overshadowed by Kerry and her dad, Mike and his mom busted some moves!

Behind the scenes of the photobooth!

ahahahaaa

I love photographing "theater people"... they're so animated yet still photogenic!!

So… I knew I wouldn’t be able to fit Kerry & Mike’s wedding into one post… but I know I won’t be able to fit it into two now either! So here’s their beautiful formals, shot mostly on the beach in Falmouth, and I’ll post the reception later this week!!

Here’s part one if you’d like to check it out:

This church was too beautiful to not get a photo in front of!

Love this! The birdcage veil, the eyelashes, the train spreading out behind her...

Kerry wanted some fun posed portraits of the whole wedding party! They were such good sports in the cold!

It didn't rain, but we weren't letting those umbrellas go to waste...

I love that Kerry's smiling...
