Essex River Cruises and Charters Tidal Island Wedding in Essex, Massachusetts- Wedding Photographer

A summer wedding on a tidal island in Essex, MA is a dreamy affair that offers a unique experience for the couple and their guests. The island, surrounded by the picturesque waters of Essex, provides a stunning backdrop for a memorable wedding day.

The wedding celebration began with the guests boarding the Essex River Charters and Cruises, ready for a scenic ride to the island. The boat ride offered stunning views of the coastline, making for perfect photo opportunities. The guests were excited to arrive at the island and experience the unique setting for the wedding.

The bride and groom were radiant in the sunlight, their love for each other shining through in every photo. The couple's golden retriever, the "best boy" of the night, was a star of the show, posing happily for photos with his proud owners.

The wedding ceremony took place on the island, with the sea breeze adding to the romantic atmosphere. The couple exchanged vows, surrounded by their closest friends and family, with the sound of the waves providing the perfect background music.

After the ceremony, the guests were treated to a delicious lobster bake, a quintessential New England experience. The food was served on long tables set up on the beach, offering an intimate and relaxed atmosphere for the guests to enjoy.

As the sun began to set, the guests danced under the starry sky, celebrating the couple's love and commitment. The final boat ride back to the dock offered a stunning view of the island at night, providing a perfect end to a magical day.

As a wedding photographer, I am honored to capture the special moments of a couple's big day. This summer wedding on a tidal island in Essex, MA was a particularly unique and memorable experience, filled with love, laughter, and lots of lobster!

Sean and Nicole's glowy engagement session in the Spring blossoms / Beverly, MA

Things have gotten off the rails over the past week because of the coronavirus. I’m a very task-oriented person and I take great joy in checking things off my to do list, so it can feel a little frustrated to be at a standstill at times. Yet, it is making me appreciate friends and family so so much. I’ve become much more intentional with taking time out of my day to Facetime my loved ones, and that feels good.

Speaking of loved ones, these little love birds below are very near and dear to my heart. Sean was in Shane’s and my wedding nearly 13 years ago, and since then they’ve chosen me to be their engagement, wedding, and newborn photographer. Their engagement session in Beverly, MA has been one of my favorites because I absolutely LOVE taking pictures of people in love in front of a backdrop of Spring blossoms! Browse some of my favorites from their engagement session, and be sure to leave them some love in the comments section below!
