Alyssa & Tommy

Alyssa and Tommy were married in June at Mass MoCA – the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. I was thrilled when they asked me to be their wedding photographer, and getting to shoot at such a unique location was just icing on the cake! Mass MoCA is way out in Western Mass in the Berkshires, near where I grew up. (Bonus: seeing friends and family while traveling for work! Yay!)

The museum is full of interesting contemporary art exhibits – Alyssa and Tommy were married in front of the Invisible Cities exhibit, and we did some post-ceremony photos in the Sanford Biggers exhibit. The museum staff was so very gracious in letting us through the exhibits after hours for photos, I was thrilled we were allowed!

Below are just a few of my favorites from Alyssa & Tommy’s day. Please feel free to leave comments or questions below too, I love hearing from you!

We met the bride and groom, along with their friends and family, while they were getting ready at The Orchards in Williamstown.

While I was hanging out with all the girls, my ever-lovely wedding photography partner slash amazing friend Sarah Phillips was over at the guys’ room while they were getting ready. She captured the two images below.
 Before heading out to the wedding, the girls had a toast in their room – I love this shot.
All of Alyssa’s bridesmaids wore different colored shoes and matching jewelry with their black dresses – it looked awesome! Sarah also took the next two images, which I love.  The Invisible Cities exhibit where the ceremony took place was like nothing I’d ever seen before. Such a cool and memorable spot for their ceremony. 
I also had to get a shot of Alyssa’s incredible bouquet. It was made mostly of vintage brooches! I loved this idea – she will have it forever now! 
One of my favorite moments is below. The bride and her dad danced to Puff the Magic Dragon, a song he sang to Alyssa & her siblings every night while they were growing up. When her sister joined in dancing with them, I might have gotten a little misty.
You know I LOVE a bride who is excited about the wedding cake! Her sister made both the wedding cake and the groom’s cake. Talk about talented! I can’t bake anything that doesn’t come in a powdered mix or slice-n-bake form.

Alyssa and Tommy, congratulations again on your marriage! Your wedding day was beautiful, and I’m honored to have been there to capture it. You’re both wonderful people, and I wish you all the best for years to come. I’ll end this post with a photo of you two on the dance floor – a perfect end to a perfect night! 🙂
