My wedding photography partner and I had the pleasure to shoot a wonderful wedding in Andover, MA recently. The day provided for a fresh look at a wedding. The couple had a wonderful ceremony. When they exited the church (to the bride’s surprise), the groom had arranged for a bunch of Monarch butterflies to be released. They came in these little paper triangles, which you will see below. Unfortunately they were not too photogenic, as they all didn’t take off like we were hoping for. It sure would have made for a nice photo, but things don’t always work out the way you hope, especially at weddings! We then went over to a local cemetery which we had scouted out before hand for the formals. This was the biggest wedding party I have ever seen! A reception followed at the groom’s parents’ house. They had tents set up in the backyard, and a wonderful barbecue chicken dinner was served. The coolest thing was there was a pool and a bunch of kids swimming and running around. Kids always make for interesting photos! At one point the groom almost threw his beloved bride into the pool! Below are some of the highlights from the day. All shots taken with a Canon EOS40D and a gazillion lenses!
