Ali and Chris were married on June 4^th, with a ceremony at The Governor’s Academy Chapel in Byfield, MA, followed by a reception at the bride’s family home in Manchester-by-the-Sea.

My second shooter ( the fabulous Shawn Read) and I started out with some getting ready photos of the ladies at Ali’s parents’ house. When Chris arrived, Shawn captured a few finishing touches and then placed him on the stairwell for their first look. After that, we did all the formal photos in front of their jaw dropping house and reception tent.

The ceremony took place at The Governor’s Academy, where they both went and met. We took a few photos there after they were hitched, and then we headed back to the stunning reception and the party.

I loved spending the day with Ali and Chris. Ali is the sweetest person, with quite possibly the BEST laugh in the world. Chris made me laugh throughout the day with his dry sense of humor.

During the reception, my favorite moment was the touching toast that Ali’s father gave. He couldn’t get through it, and Ali’s mom went up to give him support. ( My cold italian eyes MAY have gotten damp here)

I’d be remiss if I didn’t give a shout-out to my favorite vendors here. I love working with Tangorra Wedding planning, and the entire team was there!( Linnea, Tracy and Courtney we are dream to work with) Christian and Chris from Brighter Lights are just the most easygoing videographers out there; we have such a symbiotic relationship on a wedding day. And K2? This may be the BEST BAND I’ve heard in FOREVER! I loved their energy!

Chris & Ali, Thank you so much for letting me be part of this spectacular day! Wishing you nothing but the best, always! xxAndrea
