Vanessa & Jeff: A Romantic Hamilton Hall Wedding

When the baby sister of your Best Man gets married to her perfect fit, it’s a pretty emotional gig. But I’m so glad I was the one to share in all the behind the scenes joy and help tell the story of their day!

The morning started at the beautiful Salem Waterfront Hotel with the dapper groom and his fantastically customized groom’s gift.

Hamilton Hall is a great venue with beautiful open space and spectacular light! hamilton-hall-wedding-007 hamilton-hall-wedding-008 The reveal <3 Vanessa has two brothers and a sister.  As the youngest, she’s always been their pride and joy, and her wedding day was about as proud as you could see these guys. hamilton-hall-wedding-009hamilton-hall-wedding-010 The stunning bouquet held helped include their father in the day.  hamilton-hall-wedding-011 On to the first look!hamilton-hall-wedding-012 hamilton-hall-wedding-013 hamilton-hall-wedding-014Immediately followed by some stunning pre-wedding portraits. hamilton-hall-wedding-015 hamilton-hall-wedding-016 Then the whole gang came up to meet us.
