Nantucket Wedding – Becca & Rob
Becca was my bestest bestest friend for so so many years when we were kids and teenagers. But as things sometimes go we managed to lose touch during our college years. But at our 10 year high school reunion several years ago, we got to catch up and I had the pleasure of meeting her adorable boyfriend Rob for the first time. So you can imagine how delighted I was when Becca got in touch with me last year to tell me that she and Rob were engaged and that they wanted me to shoot the wedding.
So back in June (yes, I’m a little bit behind) I flew to the beautiful island of Nantucket to spend 4 days with this beautiful family. A big thank-you to Rene Tirado for coming along to shoot this gorgeous wedding with me.
First, here are a few images from the rehearsal dinner which was a lobster bake held outside next to a lighthouse. The highlight of the evening was definitely when Rob’s 5 year old niece dug a rabbit carcass out of the sand during dinner. Her father promptly jumped up from dinner to delicately retrieve the dead bunny and throw it into some tall grass. It was one of those moments when I wish I’d had a camera in my hand instead of a fistful of lobster but that’s just the way it sometimes goes. Still it is a great memory even if it wasn’t captured on film.
And now, the wedding day. Becca & Rob and their families rented out 3 private homes on a bluff called Whales Watch where everyone stayed for the weekend and where the cocktail hour and reception were held under the most gorgeous sail tent. Everything was just so gorgeously “New England”, loved every minute.
The ceremony was held at the very old, very famous Siasconset Chapel.
Thank you Becca and Rob for asking me to be a part of such a special day, I truly treasure every moment I got to spend with you this summer.
Who else made this wedding special? These wonderful people.
