Alyssa & Scott | Rehearsal Dinner | Chatham Bars Inn

Alyssa and Scott had an amazing wedding (which I will be posting later on this week) and their rehearsal dinner / clambake at the Chatham Bars Inn Beach House was quintessential Cape Cod. From the invitations, lobster lollipops, to the bride’s sailor inspired dress the details were simple and just perfect. Guests danced all night to a bluegrass band and enjoyed the beautiful ocean views that the Chatham Bars Inn Beach House offers.

Venue: Chatham Bars Inn Beach House
Entertainment: Blackstone Valley Bluegrass Band
Bride’s Dress: Suzannah, London
Hair & Makeup: Lisa George

Kids will be Kids | Hidden Sweets | Harvard Sq.

Throughout the year we photograph a good amount of kids and families. And I just love coming across sequence pictures like these that show the interaction and humor between siblings. I just dream of having photos like below of my brother and I when we were young and little terrors. So I think that a lot of my passion for photography comes from creating fun images like these as well as knowing of the joy and laughter it will bring the parents and the subjects for many many years to come.
