This weekend, we had the pleasure of being there to bear witness as Sandee & Matt took the plunge and said, “I do!” It was an afternoon of love, laughter, and lots of happy tears!!! Sandee & Matt are such warm, loving people. They are that couple, the one who you can just see 60 years from now sitting on a park bench as happy and connected as they are today. And, if you have a hard time believing true love exists…these two will instantly make a believer out of you!

We left the sandy shores of Cape Cod early Saturday afternoon and headed to the Boston Harbor Hotel for their ceremony & reception. What a fabulous location, with views of the harbor and a great city park out the front door. A highlight of the celebration was an emotional video by Black Tie Video featuring interviews with Sandee & Matt, mixed with photos from their childhood and footage from the start of the wedding day. The video was shown just before Matt & Sandee were introduced into their reception. Looking around watching people’s reactions was such a treat! Even the hotel staff members were grinning from ear to ear. Great job Mike!!!

Here are some of our favorite moments from their special day!

Matt shows off his wedding gift from Sandee…a sweet Rolex! Nice one Sandee!!! And Matt didn’t do too bad either, getting Sandee some gorgeous diamond earrings. According to Sandee, she told Matt that he had to get her diamond earrings because he makes fun of her driving….apparently, she gets too distracted by her engagement ring! Something tells me Matt may now be equally distracted.

Sandee gets cheeky and shows off her bling while her bridesmaids show off their Beadiful Jewelry wedding gifts. Designed by Catherine Howe, Sandee had these gorgeous rings and matching earrings made for her bridemaids. So sweet!

Is she beautiful or what?!!

Getting a little help from her friends…

Matt prepares to see Sandee for the first time…You think he’s excited?

And here’s Sandee’s reaction to seeing Matt…

There were a lot of happy tears, especially from Sandee, but this is my favorite weepy photo taken during their ceremony….Can’t you just feel the love?

And here’s some portraits we shot of the happy couple:

A couple of fun street shots…

Is her dress gorgeous or what? Love the way the wind is taking it in this one…

Here they hide in the doorway before being introduced as their guests watch the video. I think one of their cousins spotted them just before this photo was snapped. What a great moment!!!

And here are just a few details from the day:
