Early this fall we had the pleasure of capturing Lauren & John’s Boston Symphony Hall Wedding with Rafanelli Events. The lovely day began at the Fairmont Copley Hotel in Boston where we found the wedding party readying for the day ahead. Lauren and her ladies put their finishing touches on while John and his groomsmen dressed nearby.
The couple chose to do their First Look on the historic front walkway of the Fairmont Copley. We love capturing this highly anticipated moment and this sweet and loving couple was no exception. Right after, we hopped on a trolley to head over to the ceremony location in Chestnut Hill. The couple was to be married at St. Ignatius Church on the campus of BC where the couple met!
Built in 1900, Boston Symphony Hall is a historic landmark and shooting events there is always remarkable. Lauren and John’s vision was brought to reality with a formidable design team. The space was washed in vibrant lighting which accented the architecture. The setting was balanced with modern decor pieces and divine white flowers in assorted arrangements throughout the venue. Full of energy with a busy dance floor and enjoyment all around, the celebration continued into the night.
We were fortunate to work with wonderful vendors including the talented team at Rafanelli Events. We thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this day, capturing this wedding was an absolute pleasure and thank you again to Lauren and John and their kind and gracious families for having us there!
