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!

Small intimate Gloucester, MA Wedding Aboard Schooner Lannon

When it comes to planning a wedding, couples are always on the lookout for unique and memorable venues that will make their big day truly unforgettable. If you're someone who loves the ocean and enjoys a touch of adventure, a wedding ceremony aboard the Thomas E. Lannon Schooner in Gloucester, MA might just be the perfect choice for you.

The Schooner Lannon is a historic vessel that has been a fixture of Gloucester's bustling harbor for many years. Its towering masts and traditional rigging make it the perfect location for a wedding that is both classic and unique.

As the sun began to set over the harbor, the bride and groom exchanged their vows on the deck of the Lannon, as their guests looked along with joy and excitement.

The ceremony itself was simple yet elegant, with the vows reflecting the couple's deep love for each other and their family. As the couple exchanged rings, the Schooner's captain rang the ship's bell in celebration.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their family and friends took a leisurely sail around the harbor, enjoying the cool ocean breeze and the stunning scenery. The Lannon’s crew provided drinks and hors d'oeuvres, making the experience even more memorable.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the Schooner returned to the harbor, and the newlyweds stepped onto the dock, surrounded by their loved ones.

The wedding on the Thomas E. Lannon Schooner was a beautiful and unique experience that perfectly captured the couple's love for each other and their family. It was a celebration of their journey together so far, and the promise of the adventures to come.

If you're looking for a wedding venue that is both classic and unique, the Thomas E. Lannon Schooner in Gloucester MA is the perfect choice.
