Liana & James' Wedding!

A few weeks ago, I had the great pleasure of shooting Liana & James' wedding. These two are such a fun, sweet, wonderful, not-to-mention-gorgeous couple and I had a BLAST spending the day with them and their friends & family! I shot over 4,600 images that day!!! I told you, I had a blast :) Not so much fun was the editing process of going through all of those images, but I've finally narrowed it down and am super excited to share some with you!!

The day started as I met Liana and her bridesmaids at her parents' house up in Nahant. It was totally exciting, and definitely overwhelming, to walk up the steps to the door and have a gaggle of bridesmaids all waiting there to welcome me! They were all soooo excited to "get started"! So started, we got...



Liana opening her present from James - a gorgeous bracelet




Checking out the dress with her sister, and maid-of-honor, Jamie


Waiting at the top of the stairs to go down and see Dad



And this would be when Dad started crying, and when all the rest of us started crying!


Stylist from Peacock Alley putting on the veil



A few shots of the girls outside the house


There's something about the way that bridesmaid is standing in the background that makes me LOVE this shot!


and there she is again...


The ceremony was at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Weston, MA.



This may be my favorite shot of the day!



There were tons of moments like this one throughout the ceremony. I couldn't help but smile watching these two whisper and smile at one another the whole time. They got an especially good laugh when the ceremonial crown got stuck in her hair, but we'll leave those pictures for the proofs ;)



Married!


They don't look happy at all, do they?! ;)



A cute moment in the Bentley on the way to the reception. I love tagging along in the car!!



We arrived at the Saphire Estate just in time to capture some portraits outside, and to get Liana & James down to the lake for the sweet pre-sunset light!



Careful, these next two are HOT!




The happy couple!



Then it was back up to the reception! I loved the centerpieces by North Shore Fruit & Flowers.



They choreographed their first dance, and it was AWESOME! And you guys were nervous! ;)




The Father-Daughter dance


My favorite thing about this wedding was the party! These guys had one of the most packed and energetic dance floors I've ever seen at a wedding! Everyone was dancing and having a great time!




The band, OnLine, really knew how to work the crowd! They were especially good at getting James pumped up ;)




There were also some sweet moments on the dance floor...




But for the most part, it was high energy! Liana's Dad was cracking me up!!


And this series really just sums up the whole day... very sweet, very fun, and very James & Liana!



Thanks again you guys, for everything! Your wedding was awesome and I'm so glad I could be a part of it!!
