Boston Public Library Wedding | Photography by Nikki Cole

I was excited to shoot Cassie and David’s wedding for several reasons. First, Cassie found me through her cousin, a previous bride of mine. So it gave me a chance to see the much beloved Tower family again! Second, their wedding was at the Boston Public Library which is a photographer’s dream location (at least this photographer!). The architecture is just spectacular inside and out. And finally, Cassie and David are a truly lovely couple. They spent their day relaxed and smiling. Their biggest priority was fun and family. Totally my kind of couple! We started the day getting ready at the Fairmont Copley Hotel and walked right over to the BPL for wedding party photos. It was a gorgeous summer day in Boston. The wedding ceremony and cocktail hour were right in the the BPL courtyard. What a spectacular location for a ceremony! After that, guests made their way into the library for dinner and dancing. Here are some of my favorite photos from the day.

Cassie was so excited getting ready. No nerves. Just fun.

I can’t say enough about how gorgeous the Boston Public Library is. But Cassie and David would have lit up any space.

The ceremony was just breathtaking in the courtyard surrounded by the fountain and arches. The bridesmaid’s blue dresses really popped in the space. As a special touch, the BPL started the fountain just as Cassie and David shared their first kiss. And I just love the way David is looking at Cassie’s ring as they left the courtyard.

Cassie and David didn’t need too much decor to make the BPL shine. But I love where they chose to make their mark. The flowers lining the long tables in the library were just gorgeous. And I absolutely loved their library card placecards!

Nothing makes a wedding more special than the couple and their guests. After some truly heartfelt toasts, guests moved to the next room for Cassie and David’s first dance, parent dances and the Hora. What a beautiful celebration!
