Maureen & Greg: Married | A Lighthouse Inn Wedding

 

 

Maureen and Greg are nothing shy of awesome.  So sit back, relax, and enjoy this very smiley post!  I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who smiles more than these two when they are together!

I’ve known Greg my whole life, we’re (almost) cousins.  So when Maureen emailed me to say they wanted me to photograph their wedding, I was honored. I also instantly realized this meant photographing some of my own family, who are some most fun people I know!  When the day finally arrived, it was a beautifully warm fall afternoon on Cape Cod, and the sun was shining over the Lighthouse Inn.  My colleague, Masao from Amara Photography was my partner in crime for the day, and took care of the guys while I spent my time with the ladies, and could not have been more amazing to work with!  The cottage at the Lighthouse Inn was bustling with bridesmaids, hairstylists, flower girls, and none other than my good friend Noel from Makeup 2 Die 4, while Maureen’s dress patiently waited for her upstairs.

I’m particularly partial to Maureen’s color choices (I mean, really, purple is just the best), and Anna Holmes did a wonderful job finding the most beautiful purple hydrangeas for her wonderful arrangements.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the lawn, the guys were totally goofing off prepping for the day and enjoying the gorgeous weather.Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0009 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0010 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0011

 

This text message made me smile.  A lot.  It was the perfect text for Maureen, just as it was time to put on her wedding dress.

The Immaculate Conception Chapel patiently waited for the blushing bride to arrive.Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0016

 

Remember how I said that my family is fun? Meet a few of them, enjoying one of their favorite pastimes, photobombing!

All kidding aside, EVERYONE was so happy to be at this wedding.  There was so much emotion in this teeny little chapel, I am surprised it didn’t burst open at the seams!Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0018 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0019 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0020 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0021 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0022 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0023

 

Greg literally lost his breath as Maureen walked into the aisle.  This is how you should feel about seeing each other.  My heart beats a little faster every time I see their faces seeing each other.Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0024 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0025 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0026 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0027 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0028 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0029 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0030 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0031

 

Okay guys, this is how you know your family and friends are awesome.  When your entire wedding surprise serenades you leaving the church with “Here Comes the Sun”, you know you’re doing something right.    Maureen’s face  as she realizes what is happening = priceless.

These are the faces of people listening to (and giving) some pretty rocking toasts.

One of my favorite images of the night.  Nothing else outside of these two singing to each other existed to them in this moment.  There was not a dry eye in the house.Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0054 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0055 Lighthouse_Inn_Wedding_Cape_Cod_0056

 

 

It’s really not a party until Greg’s dad ties something around his head.  It’s usually his own tie, but in this bow tie situation, a ribbon from his table had to suffice.

Maureen and Greg, I hope Hawaii was more than amazing, and that you are always as happy and in love as the two of you were on this day!
