Lisa’s parents’ house was the ideal location for the intimate, charming backyard wedding that the couple was looking for.  The day of the wedding this incredible, and incredibly laid back, couple drove to her parents’ together.  It was really great to see them just look so happy and relaxed when I arrived.

Andy’s two nieces were the flower girls and his nephew was the ring bearer, and he might have been the cutest ring bearer you could imagine!  The wild flowers and greenery created an incredible backdrop for the day, and in front of family and close friends it was clear that this was the perfect place for their special day.  Lisa wore her mother’s wedding dress, and it was immediately evident that it meant a lot to both of them!  The ceremony went perfectly, and afterwards it was time for portraits with the bride and groom and their families.  The property gave us nearly unlimited options, so I felt spoiled as the photographer in this amazing location!

The guests then enjoyed a toast to the happy couple, and everyone sat down to a fabulous dinner.  Once dinner had finished it was off to Sweet’s in Worcester for dancing and dessert!  Andy and Lisa made their entrance for the guests via elevator, and then it was time to dig in.  The desserts just didn’t stop coming, and you could even decorate your own cupcake as a wedding favor.  The only thing that could truly stop the desserts was dancing, and Lisa even broke out a different dress for this part of the night.

The rest of the night was spent dancing with friends and family, and just having the time of their lives.  Andy and Lisa, I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to capture this very unique wedding day.  I’m so glad that you were able to have this day together, and I wish you the best in your marriage.  Finding each other is the best gift in the world!
