laudia and Nick celebrated their wedding at Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA, which is one of my favorite places to photograph weddings! The bridal party got ready in the second floor bridal suite with makeup artist Kimberlee Bowen from To Make Beautiful. The couple had their first look outside the front entryway and the ceremony in the glass conservatory. Guests enjoyed dinner and dancing set to music by Beat Train Productions. Big thanks to the talented Masao Okano for second shooting with me!
