Ocean View Inn wedding | Gloucester MA

Posted inSpring Wedding

Lauren and Michael celebrated their beautiful spring wedding on Boston’s North Shore, at the aptly named Ocean View Inn in Gloucester. This beautiful space provides a sweeping view of the Massachusetts seaside, which we took advantage of throughout the day.

The overcast day didn’t stop us from getting some great seaside wedding pictures with Lauren, Michael and their wedding party after the ceremony. The Ocean View Inn’s panoramic windows provided a great ocean backdrop for the indoor ceremony, and the sun came out just long enough for us to take the newlyweds down to the shore for some formals before the reception! The evening party was classic and elegant — long white tables topped with soft white floral centerpieces, with pops of navy, silver, and bright red cranberry for color. Lauren and Michael’s closest friends and family helped them celebrate, which made for a really warm and intimate reception. 

Congratulations Lauren and Michael on your beautiful wedding day, and thank you for letting us be a part of it!

Boston Public Library Wedding of Mia + Michael

Posted inBoston Public Library Weddings,The Catered Affair

The outdoor courtyard at the Boston Public Library is one of our favorite ceremony locations in the city! The beautiful gardens and Italian-inspired fountain make for a perfect backdrop to a warm-weather wedding. We loved being back in the courtyard for our first Boston Public Library wedding of the season to celebrate Mia + Michael.

The Boston Public Library has so many unique spaces for all sorts of fun pictures — after getting ready at the nearby Lenox Hotel, the bride and groom decided to have their “first look” on the BPL’s magnificent grand staircase. We stayed inside the main lobby to get some shots with Mia, Michael and their wedding party before heading outside to the courtyard for the ceremony. Guests remained out in the courtyard to enjoy the spring weather for their cocktail hour, while we took the newlyweds around the venue for some more pictures.

The party was moved inside for the reception — the Courtyard Restaurant was revamped to match Mia and Michael’s colors with purple linens, beautiful purple floral arrangements, silver chiavari chairs and purple lighting to complete the look. A traditional cake cutting, toasts, and a night full of dancing (including an impromptu Hora) followed in the adjacent Map Room. Everyone had a blast celebrating this great couple – including us!

Special thanks to the always fantastic team of The Catered Affair at the Boston Public Library for another beautiful event, and congratulations Mia and Michael!

From Mia + Michael – “Jill, Thank you so so so much. We LOVE the photos!!!!  I have already looked through the cd so many times!! I couldn’t be more in love with the photos!!!  You were amazing to work with!”

Fairmont Copley Plaza Wedding | Lina + Jonathan

Posted inFairmont Copley Plaza Weddings

The 2013 wedding season was in full swing last week, with gorgeous sunny weather and a beautiful wedding at the Fairmont Copley Plaza!

Lina and Jonathan couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spring day for their Boston wedding. Jonathan spent the morning, getting ready with his groomsmen at home, while Lina and her bridesmaids spent the morning at one of our favorite venues, the Fairmont Copley Plaza! The couple chose to have their Catholic wedding ceremony at St. Josephs Parish, their home church in Medford, and come back to Boston after the “I do”s for family pictures and the evening party!

The full mass ceremony ended in the afternoon, leaving us plenty of time to travel back to Boston before the Fairmont Copley Plaza reception. We took the newlyweds, their family, and the whole wedding party into the Boston Public Garden for wedding pictures and family formals, and the sun never stopped shining! We love how spring weddings in Boston give us the chance to go outside, and take full advantage of the great weather in some beautiful outdoor spaces like the Boston Public Garden.

Lina and Jonathan’s wedding reception was held in the Fairmont Copley Plaza Grand Ballroom, which the bride described as “black tie chic”. The romantic flowers were accented with pops of metallic, and the long table arrangements were displayed in bright mirrored window boxes. They had all the elements of a classic black tie wedding, with a great modern twist!

Congratulations Lina and Jonathan and thank you for trusting P+K to document this special day! We just adored working with you and your families!
