We've gotten to know Colleen & Pete over the years. They were roommates of our friends earlier in life, and we've seen them at numerous dinner parties and gatherings here and there. They were guests at Bonnie & Burton's and Casey & Eli's weddings, and we were honored that they chose us to photograph their wedding too.
They chose to have their wedding at the Codman Estate in Lincoln, MA. Their ceremony took place overlooking the Italian Garden – just as the sun began to set behind the trees. Definitely one of the more romantic spaces that I've ever witnessed a wedding take place. During the ceremony they planted a small just-beginning-to-grow tree, an acorn really, that Pete found in the park near where they live. Colleen placed the dirt and Pete gave it water. Perhaps that tree will be planted in a backyard one day. I just love that idea!
Following the ceremony the guests made their way over to the Carriage House for the reception. They had our photo booth set up for guests to enjoy – and plenty of decorations they made themselves, with the help of family and friends. They've been meticulously planning this wedding for over a year, so I wasn't surprised at all when I heard they made Limoncello themselves to give to guests later in the evening. Colleen & Pete went around collecting cordial glasses for each guest. And, for couples, they made sure to have two matching glasses because the glasses were their favors. What a great idea too!
Colleen & Pete – thank you so much for trusting us to capture your day. We've been lucky enough to follow your love story from close to the beginning. We're glad to have been there for the start of a whole new chapter.
And here is Colleen & Pete's Photo Booth:

In 1925 Citi Performing Arts Center's Wang Theatre first opened its doors as The Metropolitan Theatre. This past Friday we found ourselves at a soirée filled with flappers and dapper gentlemen - very similar to the parties that happened there way back when.
Just this year a group named after the original theatre - the Metropolitans – was formed. In addition to getting together for parties in the Theater District, the group plans volunteer activities that help performing-arts programs in the city of Boston.
To kick-off the fall season the group threw a speakeasy party in the bottom floor lobby where, early in the last century, parties happened after vaudeville shows on a regular basis. There was the jazz band Oliver Monaco performing in the lounge where custom cocktails were being mixed by Andrew of Flask & Funnel. In the lobby, DJ Deja got the crowd dancing, while servers circled with delicious hors d'oeuvres by MAX Ultimate Food. All the details were planned by Lauren of Lauren Wells Events. The signage for the evening was hand lettered by Liz of Lettering By Liz, and the gorgeous flower arrangements were designed by Krissy of Pollen Floral Design. Marc of Marc Dickinson Photography was there to document the evening's festivities as well.
I loved walking around grabbing a few shots of the event and the details while mingling with the crowd. The best part of the evening for Peter & I was working the Paper Moon Photo Booth. We had so much fun getting dressed up and enjoying those delicious cocktails. It was a pleasure to be a part of this event.
If you're interested in attending fun events like this one, consider joining the Metropolitans, you can go here, or contact Julie Judson for more information.
Here's a bit of the fun we had in the Paper Moon Photo Booth:
