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.

Caroline and Rob's Lord Jeffery Inn Wedding

Caroline and Rob were married on June 25th, with a ceremony at Mt. Sugarloaf State Reservation and a reception at the Lord Jeffery Inn.

Caroline and Rob met on Facebook as they were getting ready to start their freshman year at UMass. The two of them had joined the “Van Meter Hall” Facebook group after getting their dorm room assignments so that they could connect with their neighbors. A particular profile caught Rob’s eye—a pretty girl three doors down who played guitar and listened to Bob Dylan and Radiohead. He decided to message her, and they began chatting on Facebook as well as AOL Instant Messenger until they were spending their nights talking on the phone. When Rob proposed in August of 2014, he did so in front of Van Meter Hall—back where it all began.

The ceremony on the mountain was unreal. Rob played guitar as Caroline walked down the aisle, and one of their best friends—who had known them since the beginning thanks to being Caroline’s freshman year roommate—married the two of them. 

Caroline and Rob also performed for their friends and family at the reception, and by the time they sang their last song (“Wagon Wheel”), no one was seated. Throughout the day, Rob kept looking at Caroline and asking, “Is this real life?” He was clearly amazed by how beautiful the wedding day was!

The day was also filled with personal touches. The table numbers were made with vinyl records that they had collected over the years, and Rob made the ceremony arch himself. One of Caroline’s oldest and dearest friends, who she had known since Kindergarten, was the one to hand-dye pieces of fabric and ribbon for the photo booth and flower bouquet. Another of their friends made hand-lettered signs for the ceremony and reception. Not to mention the flowers—Caroline had a vision of what she wanted, and the “outdoor” element of the ballroom was truly unforgettable!

Rob & Caroline, thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your day! You two truly are wonderful, and I wish you nothing but the best.
