By the end of each wedding, I feel a strong connection the couple who has invited me into their lives. We’ve spent the day together, in their most intimate, and celebratory moments. This wedding was particularly close to my heart, however, because Megan and I have known each other since we were literally in diapers. Born a month apart, play groups and many trips together to the town pool, the library, and birthday parties. I have distinct memories of pulling Megan’s long, beautiful hair just to hear her squeal 
Hey, we’re both only children – I guess I was trying out the whole sibling thing!
Jump forward to the present, and Megan is now married to Stuart, such a wonderful person. I learned so much about the beautiful woman Megan has become, and this great man who she’s chosen to spend the rest of her life with. We began the day at Megan’s childhood home, with her parents and her best girls all helping her getting ready. We made our way to the chapel, where Megan and Stuart met as Undergrads at Tufts University.
After the ceremony, we took photos around the Tufts campus, and then headed over to Henderson House in Weston to shoot some more. Megan and Stuart were such willing subjects, and gave plenty of time for portraits, I was so grateful! This is such an important part of the day that often gets looked over and thus pressed for time. Natural looking, creative portraits are a ton of fun, but they do take time. It’s one of the few times during the day when you can devote all of your attention your partner – why not savor it?
The reception took place at Henderson House, in Weston, Massachusetts. This is the town where Megan and I both spent our K-12 years, so it was very deja-vu make our way through town, to the house. Such a great venue, beautiful details around the grounds. Megan and Stuart are both horse enthusiasts, so each table was named after a horse that they’d ridden. I especially liked the table named Leap of Faith, as a metaphor for this big event. Stepping forward into the future with someone does require a little bit of blind faith, even when you know them through and through. The future’s unwritten, but you’ll experience it all with each other’s love and support. Congratulations! A special thanks to Jonathan for shooting this wedding with me.
