Kara and Nathan – Royal Sonesta, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Kara and Nathan knew exactly what their priorities were on their wedding day. They wanted to be surrounded by friends and family. And they wanted a smooth and fun day. I think they got both. The entire experience was at the fabulous Royal Sonesta, Boston. They got ready in beautiful hotel rooms overlooking the Charles River. Their first look and formal photos were by the river just outside the hotel. And their ceremony and celebration were in the grand ballroom. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day.

Kara was so calm and happy getting ready for her big day. Just look at that beaming smile!

It was an absolutely gorgeous Labor Day weekend on the Charles River. We had a beautiful sky and view of the city skyline for formal photos. Nathan’s mother is a florist and created the most beautiful floral arrangements. It was simply stunning. I loved the bouquets!

Kara and Nathan’s ceremony was so special. They started with a private Ketubah ceremony which is the signing of the Jewish marriage license. Rather than carrying her bouquet down the aisle, she chose to create another bouquet from flowers handed to her by special guests. It was a wonderful way to include close friends and family into the wedding ceremony.

The ballroom at the Sonesta was just GORGEOUS! They created beautiful depth with decor lighting, an elegant touch with additional chandeliers and tulle hanging from the ceiling, and a fun twist mixing round and long dining tables for guests.
