An airy and lovely wedding in Boston and Cambridge, we began at the Ames Hotel, then wedded at a South Boston Loft, and capped the evening with photos and a delicious meal at Loyal Nine in Cambridge.

As part of a thoughtful and radiant ceremony, guests came forward to bestow seven blessings upon the couple. As I captured the events of the day, I saw these blessings mulitiplied and returned to guests, family, friends and all.

From the sharing of poetry, to the sharing of a meal, to shared space withing rings of candlelight, Fen and Justine created a space of radiance and belonging that really shines through in their wedding photographs.

Fen and Justine were married at in a private loft at 60 K Street Studios in South Boston. The ceremony was followed by dining and dancing at Loyal Nine Restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The catering was provided by Loyal Nine and Sofra. The couple and their guests stayed at the Ames Hotel Boston.

Attire was by Everthine Bridal and Bindle & Keep.

E & E were married on a glorious summer day in a New England vineyard. I found this wedding incredibly moving on a personal level.

I will let the images speak for themselves, but first I wanted to share one of the readings from this wedding,the Massachusetts Ruling by the Supreme Judicial Court of our state, written by Chief Justice Margaret Marshall.

Marriage is a vital social institution. The exclusive commitment of two individuals to each other nurtures love and mutual support; it brings stability to our society.

For those who choose to marry, and for their children, marriage provides an abundance of legal, financial, and social benefits. In return it imposes weighty legal, financial, and social obligations….

Without question, civil marriage enhances the “welfare of the community.” It is a “social institution of the highest importance.”

Marriage also bestows enormous private and social advantages on those who choose to marry. Civil marriage is at once a deeply personal commitment to another human being and a highly public celebration of the ideals of mutuality, companionship, intimacy, fidelity, and family…. Because it fulfills yearnings for security, safe haven, and connection that express our common humanity, civil marriage is an esteemed institution, and the decision whether and whom to marry is among life’s momentous acts of self-definition.”
