Sara and Jim's Wedding at the Red Barn at Hampshire College

James (better known as Jim) and Sara were married on October 2nd, with a ceremony and reception at the Red Barn at Hampshire College.

Sara and Jim met at Stearns Square Bike Night eight years ago, and once they started dating—that was it! Jim proposed over playing cards in a cabin in Vermont, and then I was so honored to be asked to be a part of their wedding. 

On the day of the wedding, James and Sara were a little nervous about doing a first look. They weren’t sure that they wanted to do it, but it ended up being their favorite part of the day! They were far more relaxed, and they were able to spend time with friends and family that they didn’t see very often. 

From there, it was clear that the two of them were just focused on family and on each other. It was amazing to see the two of them truly get to relax and enjoy every moment as it came. 

Sara & James, thank you so much for the honor of being part of your day! Your wedding was full of love, family, and warmth, and I loved being able to capture it for you!

Michele and Alyssa's Wedding at the Red Barn at Hampshire College

Michele and Alyssa were married on November 05, 2016 with their ceremony and reception at the Red Barn at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA.

Michele's brother was Alyssa's best friend in college and from there it was a match made in heaven. When planning the proposal, Alyssa created a dog collar for Michele's dog, Tigger. After a romantic walk, Tigger helped pop the question!

Michele and her mom had been out shopping for a wedding dress quite a bit. While Michele desperately wanted to be done shopping for a dress and was ready to settle, they found Modern Bride and Formal Shop. When Michele put on her dress she immediately wanted to take it off because she knew if she left it on a second longer she would burst into tears all over the dress. It was very clear she wasn't settling for a dress but had truly found the perfect one. The proof is in the pictures. She looks absolutely stunning in every one.

Michele and Alyssa chose to do a first look before the ceremony because they knew it would help ease their nerves. They both appreciated that time together without any distractions. We made sure that they had our time to quietly speak their personal vows to each other and take a moment to simply be themselves.

Their first dance as a married couple was to Zac Brown Band’s “Whatever It Is” and the couple was all smiles. Their love lit up the room. The wedding was such a fun and exciting day. Michele and Alyssa said that there were so many moments when they would pause and know that they were surrounded by love and pure happiness.

They also had some advice to share:

“Our advice to other couples about photography is to hire Four Wings Photography! Ryan and Ian made our day so enjoyable with their upbeat, down-to-earth personalities. We trusted them with not only taking the perfect pictures but also all advice on what other vendors to work with and how to make the day run smoothly, it was the best choice we could have made. When planning your wedding, relax and know that everything will come together. Just have fun with it!”

We’re so thankful for their endorsement. Michele and Alyssa, it was so much fun to capture your wedding. Thank you for letting us be a part of it and we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Chelsey and Joe's Wedding at the Lord Jeffery Inn

Chelsey and Joseph were married on July 23rd, with a ceremony and reception at the Lord Jeffery Inn. 

These two met at the end of their senior year in high school at the prom. They weren’t each other’s dates, but they hit it off during the limo ride on the way to the dance! After that, they started dating, and one day, while they were on vacation in the Riviera Maya, Mexico, he woke her up early on a Sunday morning to watch the sunrise. On the beach, as the sun was rising over the ocean, Joe asked Chelsey to be his wife!

Joseph and Chelsey found out that they were expecting before the wedding, so Chelsey found a simple, light dress that ended up being easy to modify—which was so important when their little Mackenzie surprised them with an early arrival!

One of the most amazing moments of the day was the fact that Mother Nature was out on full display, as there were multiple rainbows at the wedding. They couldn’t stop talking about how “magical” the night was!

Joseph & Chelsey, thank you for letting us be part of your special day! We wish you nothing but the best.

Anna and Adrian's Wedding at the Lord Jeffery Inn

Anna and Adrian were married on June 4th, with a ceremony and reception at the Lord Jeffery Inn.

These two amazing people met at UMass during Anna’s first year of college and Adrian’s sophomore year. Her roommate at the time had lost her phone at an on-campus event, and Adrian had offered to help look. As they were searching, they struck up a conversation, and he ended up asking for her number!

Anna told the story of how Adrian proposed to her:

Adrian proposed in Orlando when he took me to see the new Diagon Alley addition to Harry Potter World at Universal (we are HUGE fans). On Wednesday, August 6th, 2014, we spent the day by our hotel pool relaxing with a few cocktails, chatting about our relationship and our happy memories. It was super sweet, but I thought nothing of it because Adrian is such a romantic. Later that night, he told me that we were going somewhere special for dinner, and so we got all dressed up (he even wore a bowtie!) and headed out to downtown Orlando. He seemed a little nervous, and I was a little curious at this point but said nothing. It was the perfect date; we drank fine wine, ate a gourmet meal and had the most amazing crème brûlée for dessert. All throughout the night, we talked about us and where we saw it all going with school, work, etc. Again, I was curious but thought nothing of it. After dinner, we went out for drinks and still NOTHING! At this point, if I had any suspicion that he would propose, it was completely gone. When we got back to the hotel, I got into my pajamas, and Adrian tapped me on the shoulder and then I turned around and BOOM! There he was with the ring in his hand. Turns out he was waiting for the right time all night and that moment with only us and no one around was just it. We then spent the next day telling all our family and friends and celebrating at Disneyworld!

Before the wedding itself, Anna and Adrian had a prior to heading out to the customized ceremony that was meant to honor not only their commitment to each other but to God and their families. It was truly beautiful, and CJC Productions did a stunning job not only with the uplighting but with the chandelier on the pergola that just completed the stunning vision. 

After that, they headed to the reception, where they started things off with a beautiful first dance. It wasn’t choreographed—just the two of them having fun together and setting the tone for the night!

Adrian & Anna, thank you for allowing me to be part of your amazing day, 10 years in the making! It’s obvious to see the true love and commitment you two share, and I wish you nothing but the best!
