A Spring wedding on the water in Massachusetts
A wedding on the water are one of the most sought after venue options in Massachusetts. There are so many fun options, but a hidden gem is Merrill’s on the Waterfront down in New Bedford. It’s a perfect spot in the old fishing town, that gives you a fun harbor view.
I first spoke with Laurén after she spotted my information on Facebook. Laurén and Patrick had been together for almost 10 years and they were ready to make it official with a small intimate wedding on the water. Their son Myles was around for the call, so I got to briefly meet him and learn his was just a little older than our son Luke. He is such cutie and was even more handsome on the wedding day! Luckily I got to meet this family for some engagement pictures before the Big Day! So Myles and the gorgeous couple could get to know me a bit more. Laurén’s smile is absolutely stunning and Patrick’s laugh is contagious. I had a lot of fun getting to know them and was excited for their wedding day!
We took getting ready photos at the hotel right across the street and then scooted over to Merrill’s for some details shots before the ceremony. I love the emerald green that Laurén chose for their wedding color! Being a spring wedding, the ceremony was inside and upstairs overlooking the harbor. Laurén looked absolutely stunning and Patrick had all the emotions when she came down the aisle. Before the wedding, we were able to work out logistics to take pictures at the Rotch Jones Duff House for their wedding portraits so we headed over there after the ceremony. They have some beautiful architecture at this old Mansion and a maze garden as well. Although not in bloom, we had a beautiful sun setting and a gorgeous backdrop.
From there, the reception moved downstairs next to the gorgeous fireplace. A perfect ambiance for the cooler spring wedding. The speeches were given by the best friends of the couple. Their fun stories gave insight into how excited everyone was for their special day. After they cut the cake the dancing started! It was a perfect intimate wedding with their closest friends and family!
