Chris + Jess’ ceremony was held on the grand steps overlooking the Italianate Garden at Elm Bank. Guests were greeted with iced tea, then processed up past the fountain, through rows of flowers. A string quartet played classical versions of – amongst other things – U2’s Beautiful Day. I thought that was fitting. 🙂
Jess had been emotional all day – and the ceremony was no exception! I love the photos of her with her dad just before walking down the aisle. Also, how awesome are Jess’ niece and nephews? They did a great job as flower girl and ring bearers.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Elissa Johnk, who was absolutely wonderful (and cute as a button!) I love how she personalized the service, and included both emotional and funny anecdotes. You can find Elissa at Wellesley Congregational Church.
Longer ceremonies are wonderful; I can photograph all the cute moments, as well as the reactions of family and friends.
Some final moments from this beautiful ceremony:
And of course – there’s more coming along very soon …
I cannot get over how great these photos are. Kate, you’re a rock star! The weirdest part is that I feel like I never saw you throughout the wedding…so I guess that makes you a stealthy rock star!
Love love love the flowers jess!
What a beautiful ceremony! A most perfect day…
Kate, these are amazing pictures. Thank you so much!
Thank you all for the awesome comment! So great meeting and working with many of you!
Holy Moses, these came out great. You can almost hear the unbelievably beautiful vows coming out of their mouths!
Great shots, Kate. I may call you in the future :-). I had a great time guys! Cheers!
Thank you Nick and Eric. Eric, I would love that. 🙂
These photos are amazing! You really captured the day. I have too many favorites to count but especially love the one of Jess & her mom hugging before the wedding.
