Jess and Matt were married on August 9th with a ceremony at Saint Patrick’s Church in Stoneham, MA, and a reception at the Cruiseport in Gloucester.

J + M met in high school, and were already a family, with their two handsome boys together… but,  this special day made it official!

I loved how many adorable kiddos were in this wedding.; kids just make everything more fun. Jess and Matt’s youngest son really cracked me up; he had to be near them at the ceremony,  their first dance AND the toasts.

On the day of the wedding, I spent the morning with Jess and her ladies. My trusty second shooter, Shawn Read, was with Matt and the fellas. We all met at the church, where Matt saw Jess for the first time when she was walking down the aisle.  After the ceremony, we went to Stage Fort Park in Gloucester for photos on the rocks (like one of my favorite shots above).

Their day was FILLED with laughter and love. I particularly enjoyed this bridal party and family . . . lots of laughs, jokes, and sarcasm—my kind of people!

Jess & Matt—Congratulations! I hope you had the absolute best time on your honeymoon;  a vacation for just the two of you! 😉 xo – Andrea
