this wedding started in peabody and ended in manchester-by-the-sea. it was lovely from start to finish. i was spinning in circles with cameras whirling every which way trying to capture all the cuteness. the always beautiful blog once wed is featuring this wedding today and we are so excited about that!
i was on my own for this one since jon was busy teaching pottery up in castine, maine that week. i knew that i must shoot this wedding after shaylah told me that her wedding planning inspiration was the movie "big fish" and that she was thinking of her wedding as one giant art project! i think that's how everyone should approach wedding planning, with the same enthusiasm and excitement as a new art project. shaylah is also a talented photographer, each time i fired my hasselblad she would squeal with delight and say "oh, I love that sound!" i asked my friend susan adam to join me on my little wedding adventure roadtrip from maine to massachusetts. it was so nice to have her there as my helper in jon's absence (since i must admit, i feel a little lost without him). it was a humid rainy day, but shaylah and jonathan never let that dampen their wedding spirits. if anything the raindrops brought all their loved ones closer together as they put puzzles together, played cards, ate pie and danced to lady gaga records in the cozy living room of their friend george's house. it was as sweet as it looks.
(oh, and that ice cream truck just happened to roll by the church during family photos!)

I'm a huge fan. These images are amazing.

I take care of my hand using the ped egg and making sure I don't over chalk the bar or my hands. But I still rip in my higher rep workouts. How is it i'm supposed to keep my hands from ripping even though I take every precaution there is?

Too magical to almost believe. YOu were the perfect photographer for their day, their family, their friends. Hell, we all want to be their friend.
Lovely. The ice cream truck shots go down in wedding history.

I'm in LOVE. I think this is my favourite wedding of yours ever. How glam is Shayla in her incredible glasses?! And I adore a bride in a cardigan. ADORE.
This is one of those weddings that you look at and want to cry a little bit because you don't know the couple and you know that your life would be so much more fun if you did.
