Alden Castle Wedding:

o excited to share this wedding - Maria and Chris are such a awesome couple and they planned a fantastic day for their friends and family! Our final destination was Alden Castle, a Longwood venue in Brookline, MA, but we started at the Ames Hotel in Back Bay for getting ready and the first look. These guys were so chill (the flower girl even snuck in a nap!) and enjoying the company of their friends, it really set the tone for the day. I love Chris's reaction when he first sees Maria! We got some amazing shots of the two of them before joining their crews outside for portraits around the city's Harborwalk. The traditional ceremony took place at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral and then we headed to Alden Castle. We were able to squeeze in a few more portraits along the MBTA tracks and tunnels and then headed inside so they could kick things off with the first dance. The party continued into the night with the help of DJ Anthony from 617 Weddings, florals from The Flower Mill, a live wedding painter and the most important part - the Donut Bar, provided by Smolak Farms! And obviously a huge thank you to Vince Schaefer, the coolest associate photographer ever.
