Here on Cape Cod, the wedding season starts winding down come the end of October. Sure, there are still weddings in the winter months, but most couples who dream of a beachside wedding imagine warm breezes and sun-filled blue skies. And, around here, those days get pretty hard to find after October.

We couldn’t have asked for a happier ending to our wedding season than to have been a part of Claire & Dave’s fabulous exchanging of “I do’s!”

Claire & Dave are two of THE sweetest people and being there with them during such a special time was so much fun for us. And, to double the pleasure/double the fun, Claire & Dave said “I do!” twice. Yup, once just wasn’t enough for these two love birds.

I’ll admit, I love me some weddings. So getting to be there with such a a wonderful couple for not just one wedding, but for two was like having cupcakes for dinner….and then again for dessert.

Claire & Dave’s first wedding was an intimate ceremony at the Boston College-affiliated St. Ignatius Parish in Newton, with a family dinner following at Upstairs on the Square in Cambridge. Two days later, they stood before each other again, this time on a breezy Brewster beach, surrounded by very hearty friends & family, who, wrapped in blankets and filled with love, snuggled tightly to support Claire & Dave as they once again said, “I do!”

Here are a few of our favorite moments from Claire & Dave’s beautiful Boston wedding…

A carving on the outside of St. Ignatius welcomes visitors to this historic parish.

Dave’s nieces and flower girls extraordinaire, Lindsey & Megan, peek out the church’s front door to see if Claire’s Rolls Royce has yet arrived.

Meanwhile, inside, Dave nervously waits for his bride. Love this moment!

Here comes the bride….Claire gets ushered down the aisle by her Dad , Kevin. I love how they’re looking at each other as they head down…such a poignant moment!

Claire & Dave listen with love in their hearts and smiles on their faces as Father Robert VerEcke addresses them and speaks about the commitment of marriage.

Family & closest friends gathered in the beautiful St. Ignatius to witness Claire & Dave’s wedding…

As the parish singer croons, Claire & Dave exchange a loving glance. Ahhhhhh….

We did it!!! Priceless!

As she & Dave leave the church, Claire glances back at family & friends to acknowledge their cheers of love & support! Beautiful!

On the church steps for a quick group photo, Claire, Dave & their guests wave to acknowledge the honking support from passing cars.

The new Mr. & Mrs. share a toast and a quiet ride to Cambridge before rejoining their guests for dinner…

A quick stop at one of Claire & Dave’s favorite places, the Harvard Square footbridge, for a few photos. Love the light and stormy skies in these next few…

So dramatic…

Love, love, love this next one!

Life’s best moments are often those in between moments…like this one just before the kiss…

This next one feels very old world to me and I LOVE it! Especially Claire’s borrowed shawl, and gorgeous headband, which is an heirloom from Dave’s family. She looks like a princess and Dave, her handsome prince.

Proceed with caution…and lots of love!

Sweet love in all its splendor! Oh how my heart aches for this next one…Claire & Dave made a quick stop at their hotel so Claire could change her more formal wedding dress for this GORGEOUS sexy little number. LOOOOVE it! And can we talk about those fabulous shoes!

Over-the-moon happy, married couple in the city…does it get any better than that? Be still my heart!

Watching Claire & Dave walk hand-in-hand down this quaint Cambridge pedestrian way had me bubbling over with excitement and makes this next shot a favorite of the day! I love the way they’re holding hands. I love the adorable bouncing ruffles in Claire’s super sweet dress, her killer hot pink shoes and her crazy long legs! Seriously, what I would give for Claire’s crazy sexy long legs! Love, love, love!!!

Pink, purple, hearts & flowers….swoon!

Talk about old world….this next one feels like it could have been taken in Paris. I just love the sweetness of this moment…

We didn’t end up staying too much longer, as dinner was about to start and we had to get back to the Cape to process the images and put a slideshow together in time for wedding number two, here on the Cape two days later. But, the time we did spend with Claire & Dave and their families & friends in Boston was wonderful! Thank you both for inviting us to be a part of such a wonderful celebration of love! Right from the beginning, we have felt a connection with you and getting to be a part of this very intimate ceremony was not only a pleasure, but an incredible honor!! We adore you both and will always treasure the memories of our time together. Stay tuned for Part II! Big love & hugs, Chris & Andy xoxo
