Kristy + Seth

Honestly, it's hard to even know where to begin. We have been patiently waiting to photograph our first elopement for a while now, but there's no way we could've expected it to be quite like this. Just five of us (Seth's best friend Nathan was our officiant/translator/captain/tour guide), traveling across the world to see and experience a country so rich with history and lined with a coast seeming chiseled out of pure romance. Vicenza. Venice. Cinque Terre. Portovenere. Four destinations, each with it's own character and charm. A wedding ceremony on the tip of a peninsula, stretching into the Mediterranean Sea. To use the word epic would be an understatement. This is Kristy + Seth's story. 

(We're so excited to share our very first wedding film, so make sure you scroll all the way to the end and see this magic in moving photographs.)

Jen + Shawn - Boston Public Library Wedding

Sharing this wedding is long over due. We originally met Jen + Shawn over a year before their wedding, at Lauren + Cesar's wedding in Mexico, where Jen was Lauren's Maid of Honor. We spent the day after that wedding hanging in the pool and sipping drinks with these guys, and we knew the friendships we formed on that trip would outlast the flight home. When Jen contacted us about heading to Boston, joining up with the the same crew, and photographing her wedding, we immediately said, "Are you kidding? We'll be there.".

We started our trip exploring the beautiful city of Boston, eating from food trucks  and experiencing Uber for the first time (at the time, Uber hadn't rolled out in Ohio). Thanks to Jen + Shawn's recommendation we ate at Row 34. The lobster roll and crab cake are to die for, we almost ordered seconds. Looking back, we probably should have. 

Before the rehearsal dinner, we met up with Jen + Shawn and did a short but sweet engagement session out on Pleasure Bay and Castle Island. Even when we travel for weddings we love to find a time to connect with the couple before the wedding. Even a quick session before the wedding can help take awkwardness out of the equation and allow us connect on a deeper level. There's no doubt this translates on the day of the wedding. 

We knew the wedding was going to be one of our favorites. The Boston Public Library was such an amazing venue. Full of stunning light, beautiful architecture, and like the rest of Boston, American history. We headed out to the iconic Acorn Street in Beacon Hill for portraits and then found some amazing light around the library. The courtyard was the perfect setting for the ceremony. As large as the library was, the ceremony still felt small and intimate. Dinner was held inside, and the room was elegant and romantic. After dinner we moved to a different room for dancing, and it very quickly transformed into one the best dance parties we've been a part of. Most of the bridal party was with us in Mexico so we were well aware that they knew how to party, but they outdid themselves. 

Happy one year anniversary Jen + Shawn! Thank you again for inviting us to Boston and sharing your wedding day with us! 

Kelsey + Andrew // Olowalu Destination Wedding // Maui, Hawaii

We went to Hawaii. Whoa.

We never dreamed of the places this job would take us, and we never imagined how many great people we would meet because of what we do. Mexico, Alaska, all over the continental US, and now this? Kelsey and Andrew brought us with them to the amazing island of Maui, and we will definitely never forget the experience.

There is so much we could say about these two, about their families, and about their friends, but we honestly just want to let the photos speak for themselves. Enjoy.

Neither of us had ever been to Hawaii before, so obviously we had to do some exploring and some relaxing and some adventuring.

Lauren + Cesar // Riviera Maya Mexico // Destination Wedding

That time we shot our very first out-of-the-country destination wedding. In the Riviera Maya. In Mexico. Thank you Lauren + Cesar for bringing us down with you and allowing us the opportunity to be a part of your celebration. We won't soon forget it. The rehearsal:
