TRICIA MCCORMACK PHOTOGRAPHY
Jennie and Jeremy had a wedding that was glowing with happiness.The speeches however, were a highlight of the evening. The bride’s brothers stole the show with their mock diary, chronicling her life from birth to I do. Their humorous and affectionate retelling of childhood memories was so cute. They provided moments of both laughter and sentiment.
For me, one of my favorite things to uncover is why my couples choose to have their wedding in the Berkshires. In Kimber and Will’s case it seems kismet that even though they met in Boston they both have childhood ties to this area. Kimber feels sentimental about Stockbridge where she spent summers as a kid and during those same years, Will was traveling to Tanglewood while his sister practiced with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
The details of Amy and Patrick’s wedding were stunning and honored the mastermind of the venue, Edith Wharton. One of Amy’s favorite Covid purchases was an antique Corona (how appropriate a name) typewriter which she used to type Edith Wharton quotes for the cocktail tables. They purchased vintage Edith Wharton classic books to use as display (and read during the lead up) and Amy folded the pages of one into a heart shape. The favors/table assignments featured locally, hand poured soy candles from a female owned business with their favorite Edith quote. Their head table had two little dog candlesticks to honor Edith’s affinity for dogs and her beloved quote “My little dog— a heartbeat at my feet.”
While they waited the extra year to have the wedding they wanted, they spent time choreographing, taking dance classes, and perfecting their first dance. It was so creative and fun and I had so much fun capturing it. The party got even better when Dan and his talented friends joined the band to perform. Then for their afterparty Rebecca and Dan rented a piano from Tanglewood and Dan took requests for songs while people sang along.
