In 2023, we had the honor of photographing Katelyn’s brother’s wedding in Boston, for Tim and Ashley at Willowdale Estates. It was during that incredible day that I first met Katelyn. She was so sweet and genuine, and though she wasn’t engaged to her amazing boyfriend Ryan at the time, I could tell they were something special. Fast forward to the moment she reached out to hire us for her wedding – I was absolutely thrilled!
Being 8 months pregnant didn’t stop me from flying to Boston, and Patrick, as always, was my rock, driving all our gear to ensure everything went seamlessly. It took him ALL DAY! All I had to do was hop on a plane and land a couple hours later. Thanks babe!
Katelyn and Ryan’s wedding day was a perfect mix of elegance, fun, and Boston charm. They got ready at the breathtaking Boston Harbor Hotel, a venue that offered stunning views and iconic touches. The wedding colors of champagne satin, gold, black, and lush greenery with white florals created a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic.
One of the standout features of the hotel was the massive American flag displayed outside—a true symbol of the city. We used this iconic backdrop for newlywed and wedding party photos, capturing the essence of Boston. Family photos were taken down by the water, with the sparkling harbor providing a serene and beautiful setting.
Katelyn and Ryan chose to do a first look on the breezeway of the hotel, and it was such a heartwarming and fun moment. Tourists gathered to watch, and when Katelyn and Ryan saw each other for the first time, the crowd erupted in cheers. It was one of those moments that felt truly cinematic, filled with love and joy.
The cocktail hour took place in a stunning atrium-like greenhouse building on a pier that felt like it was floating on the water. Guests mingled as the last light of the day streamed through the glass, creating a magical yet dramatic atmosphere.
The reception was an absolute blast! A fantastic DJ kept the dance floor packed all night long, with guests of all ages joining in the fun. It was also a treat to see one of my past couples in the wedding party and reconnect with familiar faces.
To end the night, we captured an epic champagne spray photo that perfectly summed up Katelyn and Ryan’s vibrant and celebratory spirit.
Katelyn and Ryan, thank you for trusting us to document your unforgettable day. Your love and energy lit up every moment, and it was an honor to be part of it all. Boston will forever hold a special place in our heart, not just for its beauty but for the amazing couples like you who make it so memorable.
Congratulations, Katelyn and Ryan! Here’s to a lifetime of love and laughter. 🥂
