Their Wedding, Their Way

Belmont, MA – We had the privilege of photographing Rob and Colleen’s wedding last November at the Belmont Country Club.  Rob and Colleen planned their wedding a bit differently. It was planned the way they wanted it and it was really special to witness and photograph. Not wanting a large ceremony, but still wanting to celebrate with all of their family and friends, they made a brave decision to have a private, smaller ceremony with only immediate family and super close friends. Feeling that this would take a bit of pressure off and allow them to enjoy the intimate moments of the ceremony. It worked!

They would get a bit of time by themselves as husband and wife and then have another ceremony (with Jewish traditions) for their entire guest list to witness. It also worked out that the bride and groom also got to enjoy cocktail hour with their guests because they worked in their portraits after the first ceremony. Genius!

This was a unique way of handling the pressure of the ceremony and a large guest list and it went over very well. Another added personal touch was that Colleen’s Dad made the chuppah himself. It was really well made and he was incredibly proud of it, as he should be. Overall this wedding was really well done and we can’t be more happy for the bride and groom.
