I had such a great time with Allison and Steve during their engagement session last year. They were both charming and very easy-going. Weddings can be stressful, yet on their wedding day Allison and Steve managed to operate with the same relaxed and warm disposition. They spent as much time unnecessarily helping the people around them as they did requiring the sort of attention only socially acceptable on your wedding day. Basically, I’m just saying I like Allison and Steve, and I really enjoyed being around them and their families. Mass Moca is also one of my favorite wedding venues, so I was even happier to be with them in North Adams to celebrate. Congratulations, Allison and Steve!

In 2014 I traveled to Louisiana, Florida and all over New England spending time with families helping to record a part of their history. Here’s a painfully tight edit of great moments and scenes from 2014. I feel like so much is missing from this, but here’s a little taste of why I love my job. Looking at all these is getting me excited for the 2015 wedding season. I’m so grateful for all the wonderful couples and families I work with.

Jill and Stu got married in Cocoa, Florida, not far from where they live. The ceremony at the Derby Street Chapel and the reception on the Indian River Queen met all my expectations for a charming Old Florida experience. Heading south as winter closes its grasp on New England was a bonus, but regardless of where Jill and Stu got married it would have been a good time. Their friends and families were a lot of fun and a pleasure to hangout with for the weekend. Congratulations, Jill and Stu!

Kate and Patrick got married at St. Mary of the Assumption and Le Méridien. I discovered they both are hilarious, and I caught myself laughing out-loud multiple times throughout the day. Doing my job became particularly difficult when a pumpkin started flying back and forth over the dance floor. I couldn’t stop laughing, and I was trying to make sure I went home without any pumpkin-related injuries. That was a fun one. Congratulations, Kate and Patrick!
