The Tiffany Ballroom at Four Points Sheraton in Norwood wedding

I got the call at nearly midnight the night before. Val Mccormick’s second shooter had become ill and she asked if I would be willing to second shoot a wedding with her that was starting at the Four points Sheraton in Norwood Mass, and ending at the Saphire Estate in Sharon, MA. With just a few hours to charge my batteries and rearrange some plans I had for the following day, I settled in for a few hours of sleep before heading out early in the morning.

I had no idea what to expect, as I knew very little abut the wedding, and nothing about the couple.

When I got there, however, I instantly felt like I was amongst friends. Because that is just the way their families are. Everyone who was present from the start of the day at the Four Points Sheraton all the way until the end at the Saphire estate knew that there was an unmistakable sense of family there. There were tears – lots of them – shed by many. There were smiles – even more of them – shown by everyone.

It was a happy day, a day they had been anxiously and eagerly waiting for. And as the eldest and first to get married on both sides, Kristy and Adam set the standard for what weddings in that family would be like from then on. She danced slowly with her father, tears streaming down both their cheeks. No words were said, but her fathers eyes clearly spoke the words “I am losing my baby girl…but to the right guy.” She danced a number or two to Michael Jackson with her little brother, who may or may not have been a backup dancer for MJ (ok…he wans’t…but could have been). He held his mom tight as she hugged him right before he walked to the front of the ceremony site. His twin brother patted him on the back on the way to the ceremony as if to say “You are marrying the perfect girl for you.”

It was everything a wedding should be – happy, joyful, tearful, beautiful, and memorable.

Congrats to Kristy and Adam! And a HUGE thanks to Val who asked me to shoot with her. I was honored and blessed to be there and shoot with such an awesome woman! 🙂

Dazzling shoes for a gorgeous Norwood, MA wedding.

Starting this post off with with some of Kristy’s gorgeous details!

The wedding dress before Kristy got dressed for her Saphire Estate wedding in Norwood, MA.

Kristy’s dress was absolutely stunning and had the most exquisite lace I have ever seen on the bottom. I. Was. In. Love.

Kristy’s friend Marc of F Studio did her hair and makeup…and what a lovely job he did too!

The exciting hair process…

Makeup time during the “getting ready” part of the day!

Mom getting in on the hair and makeup action.

Adam’s stuff. 😉

Adam had a twin brother and if it were not for the hair styles being different, I totally would have been confused by them all day.

The light at the Four Points at Sheraton in Norwood Mass was spectacular, which made it easy to get some stunning shots of her getting ready.

Mom’s first look of her gorgeous daughter.

Loved Kristy’s french pedicure peeping through her elegant shoes!

What a beautiful detailed wedding dress Kristy wore, WOW!!
