When we were asked last year if we would photograph the wedding of our dear industry friend and colleague Cortney (one of the amazing Catering Sales Managers at the Boston Harbor Hotel) we were truly honored and knew her day would be spectacular. Cortney and Gregg celebrated their classic and elegant New England wedding this fall on the North Shore in Gloucester.
Cortney and Gregg met for their first look at the scenic Stage Fort Park before heading to their ceremony and reception at the ocean-side Cruiseport. Guests arrived to the ceremony filled with candlelight, an isle lined with white orchids and hydrangeas, roaring fireplace and musical trio. The couple incorporated Cortney’s Greek heritage into the ceremony with the traditional crowing ceremony.
For their reception, the seaside ballroom was transformed by Lotus Floral Events with hundreds of candles, lush white flower arrangements and an array of crystal vases atop lilac linens on both square and round tables. We loved the surprise addition of the grooms cake as Greg is a race car driver. Guests were welcomed in to the warm and stunning space with the music of the Kahootz band who kept the energetic group on their feet for the evening.
Congratulations Cortney and Gregg and thank you for choosing us to capture such a special and gorgeous celebration for you both!
