Twice to the same venue in a couple of weeks? That's just an opportunity to discover new cool photos at and around the venue. Just a short time after Laura and Brian's wedding I headed back to Gloucester's Beauport Hotel for Elyssa and Nick's ceremony and wedding. Now this wedding was especially memorable for me for reasons having nothing to do with the bride, groom or venue. What? That doesn't make immediate sense? Well Elyssa's dad is a fellow Springsteen junkie (we won't mention that they managed to get tickets to see Bruce on Broadway, while I failed miserably). Along the way he's managed to indoctrinate the entire family into the congregation of E Street, which made for a reception with more "Born to Run" and less "YMCA." I was joined for this one by good friend Stephen Grigoriou and some of the below images are his. A few favorites from the day. 

Today I continue to dig out of my blogging hole with Alex and Jo's early-August wedding at the Exchange Conference Center in Boston's seaport district. Alex and Jo are proof you don't need to have a 300-guest blowout to have an amazing wedding. I was flattered to be able to spend a few hours with Alex and Jo and their families and closest friends to capture some images that I hope they enjoy viewing as much as I did in making them.

Here we go, I'm finally catching up on some of my favorite summer weddings. Today I'm sharing Ryan and Melissa's Lake Pearl wedding from a few weeks back. This was another great example of, "You never know what the weather is going to do on your wedding day, so you might as well have a great time." All day it looked like it was going to downpour, it did rain like crazy for about an hour, timed poorly enough to force moving their ceremony indoors...but...immediately following their ceremony skies cleared and we were able to take all of their family photos and portraits outside in what turned into gorgeous light. A few favorites showing off that incredible mother-nature luck:
