From the bride… Our love story began at the start of high school. Steve broke the ice during freshman year by asking me to “go out” via instant message. We dated throughout high school and during our four years together at college. Our lives then took us two hours east, to the wonderful city of Boston. This is where we started our careers and the rest of our lives together. Stephen proposed on the first morning of a 30+ person family vacation! It couldn’t have been more perfect to be celebrating with our loved ones once reaching our vacation destination!
We had just over a year to plan, and our vision was to have a romantic and personal wedding. When we walked into our venue for the first time, it literally took our breath away. We knew immediately that The Riverview was THE place for us. It was both romantic and fabulous, with its all-over marble, gorgeous chandeliers and sky-high ceilings. Just a few of our personal touches included multi-generational family wedding pictures, cork place card holders for our love of wine, favors containing a secret family recipe of homemade limoncello, table names of our favorite things as a couple and a vintage family car! Our wedding day was a day to remember and a dream come true … finally getting to marry my high school sweetheart and best friend!

you so knew what you wanted....and made it happen.....just beautiful! All of your vendors were so easy to work with.
The brides dress is gorgeous, also love her sparkly shoes! So pretty. The hypericum berries in the bouquets that are air brushed is a great way to bring in the couples color palette. Love the shots of the couple in the forest...stunning.
LOVE the color of the bridesmaids dresses. Where did you get them?
@Kristi Brueggen: The bridesmaids' dresses are Amsale and were purchased at Allegria Bridal in Belmont, Massachusetts. The dark gray color looks like Amsale's Charcoal to me.
