So this might be a photo heavy post…so what it’s my family and I’ll post lots of photos if I want too!!

Sara got the bridesmaids these super cute clutches.  I wanted to steal one :)

 I love this image of Eric right before they left the hotel to head over to the ceremony site.

There was lots of this all night long as you will see.

Sara was such a chill bride.  She didn’t want to Eric to see her before the wedding in her dress, but she was fine with seeing him before the wedding.  This was minutes before the ceremony was scheduled to start.  Just hanging out laughing together.

Sara’s Aunt (on her Mom’s side) did all the flowers.  She did an amazing job with all the bouquets and centerpieces.  They were lovely.

The sun was out right before the ceremony.  We were worried about pending thunder storms all day, luckily while the sun disappeared for the wedding ceremony we were able to get through the ceremony and wedding portraits before it started to drizzle.

I love this angle Drew as able to capture of Sara walking down the aisle.  This is the benefit of having a wedding outdoors you have so much more space and can capture different angles.

Sara had a little trouble getting Eric’s ring on, it made for a cute moment!

You can see the dark clouds starting to creep in on us.  We rallied and got all the portraits done is a tiny amount of time.  I might have been running around like a crazy person but it got done so who cares.

My beautiful cousin Katherine, Sara’s sister showing off some more of the flowers.

The bridesmaids had a fun time hamming it up during photos!

Sara and Eric had one photo they really wanted.  It’s the one below.  They wanted to have Nick, one of the groomsmen photo bomb one of their images.  Nick did a great job nailing his part.

Sara & Eric brewed their own beer for the wedding.  Not being a beer drinker I didn’t try one, but I believe Drew enjoyed a couple of them :)

Sara’s mom, my Aunt Cris, is an avid quilter.  She has kindly made me a high school graduation quilt, a gorgeous wedding quilt, even quilts for Prue.  It was no surprise that she’d be making a wedding quilt for Sara & Eric.  Guests were able to write well wishes for the couple onto fabric which she will then create a quilt with.  Such a unique idea!!

Prue was very excited to have bubbles at the table to play with (thanks Sara).  She was also very proud of her escort card with her name on it :)  This was her first wedding and she had lot’s of fun.

I told you the guys partook in enjoying several shots through out the evening.  Eric was certainly having fun by the end of the night!  During family holidays (when we usually get to see Sara & Eric) he is usually very quiet, I have plans for busting out some shot glasses this year!

Had to throw in this sweet photo of my twin sister and Prue that I snagged of all places…in the ladies room. 

A yummy cannoli cake that Sara surprised Eric with.  There was also some other cakes and desserts for the rest of the guests.  Sara tipped me to the cannoli cake so I was able to make sure I snagged a piece of it before it was all gone.

We have a photo of all the girl cousins (minus Prue of course) from my wedding.  Sara wanted to make sure we got that same photo.

Then we decided we might as well allow the boy cousins in a photo as well.

I don’t know what was going on during these photos, I just knew I needed to document it.

Ending the evening with a special MrDrew Photo.  Thanks Sara & Eric for letting us celebrate with you.  We had a blast and it was totally worth the 9 hour drive :)  Love you both lots!

We started off the day at Megan’s parents house where Megan and her bridesmaids were getting ready.  Soon after arriving Drew headed off to the church to meet up the Marc and the groomsmen at the church.  I was lucky enough to snag a ride on the trolley that Megan and Marc rented for the wedding party.  It was such a fun way to get to the ceremony and then onto the reception.  Once everyone was ready we all headed over to the church for a lovely ceremony.

After the ceremony a friend brought by their dog Duncan for a few quick snap shots.  Duncan was so excited to be there!  Megan and Marc were just as happy to have him brought by for a few special moments.  After Duncan’s visit it was time for some portraits at the Church and then we headed off to the reception at Raffael’s in Walpole.  This time around I didn’t hop on the trolley with the wedding party, but I am sure they had lots of fun celebrating on the way to the reception.  Once at the reception we stole the couple and the wedding party for a few more photos and then it was time to party.

Check back for the second half of Megan & Marc’s wedding!

Here are some of the Vendors that helped make Megan and Marc’s day as wonderful as it was!

Kiss Wedding albums come in 2 options.  There is the Leather Album (which we will showcase first) and the Linen Album.  Both albums come in a selection of 7 colors (we love the green and pink options, but there are also more traditional color choices like black, brown and white).  Each album comes in a lovely dust cover to protect it.  The fabric design sometimes changes, but it is always a black and white pattern.

Here you see our Leather sample.  This sample is a 10×10 album.  They come in 4 sizes 4×4, 8×8, 10×10, and 12×12.  The cover is a 100% full grain leather, selected for it’s strength and quality.  The leather albums are designed so that they lay flat and there is no cut at the middle of the spread.  It is created with what they call a mico-fold, not a cut this allows for the spreads to be designed across the middle without having to worry about a cut distracting from the design.

Each spread is a photographic print mounted to a hard substrate separating the images.  This creates a more substantial and thicker page (great for a wedding album!)  The linen albums (as you’ll see further down in the post) have a thinner page.  Instead of having a substrate that the pages are mounted to the linen albums pages are photographic prints glued back to back.  This is why they are thinner and less expensive.

Photos can bleed all the way to the edge of the page.  We love designing albums with a couple full bleed spreads that truly showcase your amazing images.

Here you can see the linen album (pink) with the leather album (green).  While the leather album makes a perfect wedding album, we also offer the linen because it is less expensive to produce and some clients might not want a leather covered album.  You can see in the images below how the pages are thinner then the leather album.  (The leather sample we show does have more spreads then the linen sample shown).

The linen albums still offer the micro-fold pages and are also photographic prints so the quality is still there.  It’s still a great option for a wedding album.  The other difference between the leather and linen albums is the linen albums open to the first spread while the leather albums have a black end sheet that you open too.

You can see the lay-flat binding and the mirco-fold in the image below.

Kiss albums offer true photographic prints in their albums, unlike press printed albums which use inks and print on paper (we feel press printed albums are a great choice for engagement guestbooks).  The quality is definitely miles above with a Kiss album.  An album using photographic prints will last longer then a press printed album.  They will not yellow like paper.   Wedding albums are meant to be heir looms, don’t you want it to last a lifetime and longer!

Each wedding album is custom designed to tell the story of your wedding day.  Each wedding is unique and is a special story, this is why each album is custom designed.  They start at 12 spreads (24 pages) and can go up to 40 spreads (80 pages).  We suggest most couples go with 20-30 spreads (40-60 pages) for their wedding album.  This way each spread isn’t too crammed with images and can really showcase your wedding.

Nicole & Greg’s daughter was a ham while we were getting ready. At one point my phone started vibrating and come to find out she was playing with Nicole’s phone and calling me.

Love this ring shot, we used the container of sand they poured together during the ceremony.  I love how the sands didn’t mix completely.

We created a guestbook for them using photos from their engagement session.  I love seeing the products we create for our couples out at the wedding.  They also ordered a few photos from their engagement session to use as decor for the reception.

Thanks for having us capture your wedding day Nicole & Greg.  It was a beautiful day and we had a great time.

I thought it was the perfect time to post their engagement session.  We met up for their session in Hopedale where they live.  It’s where Megan’s family has lived for many years and is a special place.  We won’t have the chance to shoot here for their wedding so that is why they chose this location for their engagement session.  Drew wasn’t able to make this shoot, I had fun hanging out with them and their adorable dog Duncan.  (Important tip!  If you want to bring your dog with you to your session awesome!!  Just have someone else with you to help with the pup).

Finally the big reveal!  When you took a bite of the cupcake the color frosting indicated what we are having! 

We look forward to welcoming the littlest MrDrew to our family.  Prue is excited about having a baby brother.  She was a little hesitant at first (since she was sure it was a baby girl).  She sometimes still says baby girl, but after I remind her she corrects herself.   Lot’s of mustached baby items are definitely in our future!  I think I’m going to have to have an intervention with Drew, we’ve already bought 2 little outfits and both are green and grey with stripes.
