Stephanie & Salvi | Wedding | InterContinental Boston

admin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 21:30:42 +0000

Just a wonderful wonderful wedding I have been meaning to share that we shot at the InterContinental Hotel in Boston at the tail end of last season. Exquisitely planned and designed by Michele Mottola and her staff. Stephanie and Sal were married at a hidden gem of a Church in Somerville, St. Catherines of Genoa Parish. There were many notable details to this wedding including a custom made dance floor, table settings adorned with giant crystal candelabras, a 60ft long headtable, and a guest appearance by Nicholas Marks, who played the Gypsy Guitar like it was his last show ever.

Also a special thanks goes out to our assistant shooter for the day, Nicole Chan of Nicole Chan Photography. Simply a pleasure to work with and on point with beautiful photos, many displayed below. Thank you Nicole for helping out Brian Phillips Photography!

Kimberely & Dennis | Wedding | Boston Public Library

The phrase “takes the cake” really comes to mind when I discuss Kimberely and Dennis’s wedding at the Boston Public Library. All the ingredients were in place to make this one memorable event. A phenomenal event planning company, venue, lighting, ect, but the secret ingredient that will keep guests talking about this wedding for likely the rest of their lives was… Cirque du Soleil. Yes, that is right my blog faithful, Cirque du Soleil performed for the dinner time entertainment! The shocked looked on guests faces as the performers entered Bates Hall during the dinner hour was nothing short of priceless. And as a photographer privileged to be mingling amongst the guests throughout the evening really allowed me to hear the chatter of amazement. And even a few cell phone calls to friends to say “you can’t believe the wedding I am at right now!”

Courtney & Ryan | Wedding | InterContinental Boston

I don’t even know where to begin to write about this wedding. Super Fun Extravagance is a good place to start. And the B&G, super chill… to the Max!

I have done many InterContinental Boston Weddings before, but to walk into the room and be utterly stunned by the transformation was an incredible feeling. AJ Rose came in and laid something like 10,000 sqft of new white carpeting (just for the evening of course) as well as a dark wood dance floor. Three unbelievable crystal chandeliers adorned the bar and from what I heard, were hand strung and hung with aircraft wire just to support their weight. Kudos to Suzanne B. Lowell Lighting for this feat and for her stunning lighting work that evening. The furniture, the flowers, the music, etc, not one detail was left looking for success… and you can thank the planner Michele Mottola for this truly whopper of a wedding.

And last but not least, Courtney & Ryan, LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Andrea & Greg | Wedding | Boston Harbor Hotel

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 02:45:09 +0000

When I walked outside of the hotel just after the bride had finished getting ready, I saw the car everyone was talking about. The grooms 1967 Lincoln Continental that he bought in California and drove across country. This car made a statement and made for some great pics to! I knew right then that this wedding was going to be FUN!

Andrea had the makings of an amazing wedding from the start. She began with her truly wonderful wedding planner Linnea Tangorra of Tangorra Wedding Planning. She then made the easy selection of the Boston Harbor Hotel |Wharf Room | as her venue of choice. Add John from Blue Guava to masterfully create the floral design, cool lighting from Boston Uplights, the 1967 Lincoln, Super Cool Bride and Groom, and whamm… a wedding photographer’s dream! Oh and don’t forget to notice the Brides Pug, Pirates, and Bobble Heads!
