Alrighty, on to blogging the rest of my 2010 sessions! First up, an intimate wedding for two dear friends. They had a very small, private ceremony at the groom's parent's home in Melrose at the end of October, with immediate family only. After the beautiful ceremony, they threw a super fun party for all of their friends and family, to celebrate the event. I was beyond flattered and excited when they asked me to capture the these special moments of the ceremony, as I knew there were only going to be about 10 people there. And I was a little nervous, wondering just how I'd be able to take the images they deserved, with tears in my eyes. 🙂
Sarah and Derek are each other's perfect complement–opposites in so many ways, but perfectly made for each other. They are big fans of the band State Radio, and have seen them perform many times. Much of their wedding was planned with the band in mind, from the tables named after the band's songs, to including them in their vows, and dancing their first dance to their favorite song, Indian Moon. In fact, Sarah's birthday was just last week, and Derek surprised her with hand-written lyrics for Indian Moon, penned by the band's lead singer! (It's also where I got my blog post title from, if you were wondering.)
Below are just some of my favorites from their ceremony in Melrose, MA. S&D hired another photographer to shoot the reception, and I was able to spend some quality time with them and our friends, and enjoy the night–SO fun! It was a nice treat to only work for a few hours, instead of the typical 10-12 hour days I put in at weddings. It was even better to be able to hang out with amazing friends and celebrate such a great event in their lives.
Sarah found the perfect dress at J. Crew. Love their wedding line! Actually, love all of their stuff. 🙂
These next two made me tear up, so sweet!
I think this one is my favorite. 🙂
Or maybe this one.
Sarah & Derek, thank you both so much for asking me to take such important photos for you. I'm honored to call you both friends, and couldn't be happier for you. Here's to many, many years of happiness, and "Family Holidays" with you! We love you guys!
