This blog post is a genuine labor of love for me. As mentioned during their engagement shoot, Tracy (TJ) and Katie hold a very special place in my heart, as TJ is how I met my wife, Steph. TJ and Steph grew up together, and I was fortunate enough to meet TJ a number of years ago- where we built a great friendship, that eventually led me to meet the love of my life. So to watch TJ meet Katie (who I had actually met prior to their getting together), fall in like, and then in love... and to be a part of their incredible day- capturing their story in a way that they can remember it for the rest of their lives is not only an honor and privilege, but a true heart-tug for me.
These two lovely ladies were married on The Seaport Elite II, and what a perfect night they had! The gorgeous sunset, light breeze, warm weather, and seriously happy crowd who knew how to get-down on the dance floor, just made it unforgettable. As these two families became one, no detail was left untouched. From the nautical decore, to the infinity bracelets, the candy bar, and amazing caricature artist... it was so much fun. It was also a unique opportunity for me, as I got to be a guest for the latter part of the evening. So I must thank both of my amazing second photographers, Deb Muir, and Lori Valeyko for their incredible work while I got to enjoy the celebration.
Tracy and Katie, I hope that your wedding was everything you dreamt it to be, as you both deserve every moment of support, love, laughter, and happiness. May your lives together be long and full, may you always stand beside each other (never above or below), and may each day be more special than the last. Best wishes and much love to you both.
Without further ado... Tracy + Katie = Married!
If I had one piece of advice for all the future newlyweds out there... it would be as simple as this: "Be like Paula & Mike." I mean that in every genuine and honest sense- and I'm sure one of my favorite couples of all time are shaking their heads as they read this... but I mean it. Despite the fact that neither like to be the center of attention- because they don't. I mean, they REALLY don't. And despite the fact that for one hot second after their "first look" I was worried they may skip the whole ceremony and just go elope - haha - no seriously! Despite the fact that they may have been ready for the whole shebang to be behind them... THEY are who I wish we could bottle and sell to all soon-to-be newlyweds out there, and I will tell you why. I've been fortunate to know Paula for nearly a decade now- from our days as Regis College ladies- and she was always one of the kindest, sweetest, and FUNNIEST ladies I knew. But when I met Mike last year for their engagement shoot- I just melted. His sense of humor when partnered with patience, is simply adorable. The two glow of adoration when they look at each other. They smile so big you can feel their ears hurt, because your ears are hurting smiling as you watch them! And their wedding day was anything but what I would coin a "smile-fest." So why would I tell all you future married beautiful couples out there to be like Paula & Mike? Because on your wedding day- despite nerves or not wanting to be the center of attention- you should depend on your better half to get you through it- to laugh with you at the schedule chaos and the silly traditional necessities. Your smiles should stretch across your faces at even the simplest touch of your love's hand. The best part of your night should be when you can get on the dance floor and let loose! Because that's what they did. They laughed... They cried... and boy did they DANCE! I hope you enjoy the extremely long blog post that follows... because it was too hard for me to not show the rest of the photos from their amazing day. Paula & Mike- all my love. XO
