			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before reading this post, make sure you&#8217;ve checked out <a href="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/weddings/puerto-rico-destination-wedding-photography-nicole-lino-1/" >part 1</a> and <a href="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/weddings/puerto-rico-destination-wedding-photography-nicolelino-2/" >part 2</a> of this amazing Puerto Rican wedding!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">All the hard work that went into this wedding is just jaw-dropping amazing! The entire wedding reception was held indoors to keep everyone cool on this hot summer day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Carlos Gonzales with i2 events also oversaw the event design of Nicole&#8217;s 300-person wedding reception at the San Juan Marriott Hotel Puerto Rico. Orchids and hydrangea were submerged and piled high on top of the tables. <a href="http://www.emilykuphoto.com" >Emily </a>was able to get these photos at the same time I was photographing the wedding party</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2013" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-57" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-57.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2015" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-59" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-59.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />The candy buffet was a huge hit amongst the guests</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2014" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-58" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-58.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="603" height="900" />By the time I returned, most of the escort cards were gone, so thanks again to Emily for catching this! The calligraphy is very elegant</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2016" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-60" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-60.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />We began the night with toasts</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2043" title="100703-1217_2" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100703-1217_2.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2017" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-61" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-61.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2044" title="100703-1238_2" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100703-1238_2.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2018" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-62" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-62.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />As Nicole and Lino met while salsa-ing, they had a spectacular, choreographed first dance that started off with Etta James&#8217;s &#8220;At Last&#8221; and then moved into a salsa number that had everyone asking for an encore! Nicole had changed into a ruffled <a href="http://www.pronovias.com/" >Pronovias</a> gown for the night</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2020" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-64" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-64.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="900" />Their 4-tiered wedding cake was adorned with orchids. Also hanging off the blue drapery all around the hall were these LED-lit orchid strings</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2041" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-85" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-85.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="677" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">2 cool things &#8211; the wedding&#8217;s signature cocktail drink, and the between-course sorbet, which was served with LED-lit ice cubes</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2042" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-86" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-86.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="677" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I was at this party until 2AM!!!! 2 musical groups, a singer, and also one of the most popular DJs in Puerto Rico kept everyone dancing all through the night &#8211; and boy, everyone here can dance!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2019" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-63" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-63.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />The parents of the bride and groom tearing up the dance floor!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2022" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-66" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-66.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />And also the grandmothers</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2026" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-70" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-70.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Everybody had such a blast at this wedding</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2023" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-67" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-67.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Nicole&#8217;s brother, Roberto, who I thought was a pretty quiet guy, had some awesome moves of his own! he also presented a choreographed dance with his girlfriend for the bride and groom</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2025" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-69" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-69.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Bouquet and garter toss</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2029" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-73" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-73.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2032" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-76" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-76.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />One of the bridesmaids, Maria, presented a very sweet song</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2034" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-78" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-78.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />After midnight, this performing group surprised all the guests! Everyone donned glittery hats and masks and props</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2038" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-82" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-82.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(3 of 3)" width="900" height="677" />They had Nicole and Lino do a dance-off</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2035" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-79" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-79.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(3 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />One more inspiration board! Row 1: candy buffet, and table number labels and escort cards. Nicole hand-glittered all of the paper in this wedding!<br />
Row 2: Cufflinks, escort cards<br />
Row 3: Disposable cameras for each table, and the favors (hand-made soaps!). Flower detail<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2039" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-83" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-83.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (3 of 3)" width="900" height="900" /> Thank you, thank you so much to the families for trusting me with your memories. This was an experience that I never thought could happen to me &#8211; my very first destination wedding as a wedding photographer. Nicole and Lino, whenever I look at the photos of you two, I know that you guys share something special. I wish you two nothing but the sweetest life together for years to come. Thank you for letting me be a part of it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The wedding is nothing without the wedding ceremony. Nicole and Lino had a traditional Puerto Rican wedding mass with cantors and holy communion. Ceremonies are to me the most sacred and symbolic of any wedding, and I really liked the focus on love that was at Nicole and Lino&#8217;s ceremony. Don&#8217;t forget to check out <a href="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/weddings/puerto-rico-destination-wedding-photography-nicole-lino-1/" >Part 1 of their wedding photos</a> if you haven&#8217;t already done so!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The orchids that cascaded down bridesmaids&#8217; arms? Breathtaking. Courtesy of Carlos Gonzales with i2 events</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1984" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-32" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-32.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (2 of 3)" width="900" height="603" /><a href="http://www.emilykuphoto.com/" >Emily </a>caught this beautiful moment between Nicole and Mom before she walked down the aisle. This is really the advantage of having a second shooter &#8211; getting some more of those special moments</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1985" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-33" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-33.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (2 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />And also the cute flower girls</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1986" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-34" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-34.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (2 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />While I was inside, making sure I got this hug</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1987" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-35" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-35.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(2 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />I think the ringbearer got a bit tired</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1989" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-37" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-37.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (2 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />It&#8217;s hard to convey the sound of Lino&#8217;s hearty laugh with a photograph, but here&#8217;s a try</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1990" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-38" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-38.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(2 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />GREAT hug shot, Emily!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1993" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-41" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-41.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (2 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />I think one of my favorite parts of a Catholic wedding ceremony is when the congregation prays over the couple</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1994" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-42" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-42.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(2 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Nicole and Lino and I rode back to the San Juan Marriott hotel first to get the couple portraits done on the beach before the wedding party arrived. We also retrieved Violet for some family photos!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1999" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-47" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-47.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(2 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />It was probably 100 degrees and 100% humidity that day &#8211; so hot that my lenses fog up when I move from indoors to outdoors! We were very grateful for the less intense sunset light and sea breeze</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2003" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-51" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-51.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding! (2 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />And the wedding party arrives! I&#8217;m sorry I made you guys run a little, just wanted to make sure we were keeping the wedding as on time as possible ;)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2004" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-52" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-52.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

(2 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />I know this is not a traditional wedding party pose.. in fact, most of the wedding party, like Nicole and Lino, are salsa dancers, so I had to factor in some dancing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2008" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-56" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-56.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Destination Wedding!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you guys been waiting to see this one? Well, it&#8217;s such a huge wedding that I&#8217;m splitting it into three parts! I was extremely lucky to be able to partake in Nicole and Lino&#8217;s super-fun, super-lavish wedding extravaganza down in San Juan, Puerto Rico, over Independence Day weekend, and thank you Emily W. (one of the bridesmaids) for introducing the two of us. You may remember them from this <a href="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/weddings/boston-wedding-photographer-nicolelinoboston/" >super-sweet Boston Public Garden wedding</a>, which was a ceremony they held for close family and friends. They chose to have their wedding in San Juan because most of Nicole&#8217;s family was there and most of Lino&#8217;s family was in Miami, so it was a lot more convenient for them! A super, super-big thank you to <a href="http://www.emilykuphoto.com" >Emily Ku</a> for coming along with me, girl, I don&#8217;t know where I&#8217;d be sometimes without you =)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">These shoes are just so inspirational!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1950" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-02" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-02.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1953" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-05" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-05.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Nicole&#8217;s wedding dress was a gorgeous<a href="http://www.moniquelhuillier.com/" > Monique Lhuillier</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1949" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-01" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-01.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="603" height="900" />All the paper for this wedding had a navy blue and white theme</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1952" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-04" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-04.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Nicole was one of the first brides of mine to heavily utilize an iPad for planning her wedding. I thought it was really great because she could bring it to all of our meetings and we can quickly review photos and other material. Her mother and bridesmaid Shirley are probably looking at pictures in this one (photo by Emily)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1951" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-03" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-03.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Nicole&#8217;s makeup artist, David Lang, was truly an artist, it was as if he was painting her face. Her makeup was flawless and lasted the entire day (which was until 4AM!)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1954" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-06" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-06.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />The woman in the middle here is Belkys, one of Nicole&#8217;s mother&#8217;s good friends and a super-sweet woman who has been an incredible supporter of my work! I love you Belkys!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1955" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-07" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-07.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Cute t-shirts!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1956" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-08" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-08.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="603" height="900" />This entire group of bridesmaids is one of the most incredible, responsible, and sweet group of bridesmaids I&#8217;ve ever met. You guys all rock!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1957" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-09" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-09.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding!

(1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Nicole and Lino&#8217;s little baby Violet also came down for the wedding! Other than Nicole she was the center of attention</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1960" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-12" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-12.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding!

(1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Story behind this picture &#8211; as the bridesmaids were letting out the crinoline, Shirley accidentally ripped it! Being the amazing woman she is, she sewed it back in under five minutes flat!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1964" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-16" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-16.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />The light we got in the penthouse suite at the San Juan Marriott was so so gorgeous for bridal portraits!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1969" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-21" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-21.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding!

(1 of 3)" width="603" height="900" />LOVED her hair piece</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1974" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-26" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-26.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding!

(1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Meanwhile, Emily was with the men. Lino is clearly very happy to get married</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1965" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-17" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-17.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding!

(1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Nicole&#8217;s mother&#8217;s dress is from Pronovias. It&#8217;s a full-length dress with scalloped ruffles, it reminded me of the ocean. Gorgeous!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1975" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-27" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-27.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="603" height="900" />Nicole&#8217;s father is an absolute sweetheart who had everyone laughing and celebrating the entire day with his warm and loving personality. I might be a little biased but I think he&#8217;s one of my favorite fathers of the bride</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1976" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-28" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-28.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />Nicole&#8217;s orchid bouquet incorporated some lace from her mother&#8217;s wedding dress</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1977" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-29" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-29.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="603" height="900" />While we were waiting to go to the ceremony, Nicole&#8217;s parents broke into dance</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1978" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-30" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-30.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding! (1 of 3)" width="900" height="603" />I wanted to add this note &#8211; I really felt like part of the family the entire weekend. Thank you guys so much for letting me into your lives and for making me feel like the weekend was just like being on vacation with you</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1979" title="destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-31" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/destination-wedding-photographer-puerto-rico-31.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Nicole and Linos Puerto Rico Destination Wedding!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a moment during a wedding when you look at everyone&#8217;s smiling faces and you know. You know, that this couple is together for a reason. What a blessing it has been to be part of Karina and Bryan&#8217;s celebrations down in New Jersey! It was so wonderful seeing many of my personal friends from Harvard as well&#8230; college has really changed my life, and to be able to spend time with people I rarely see is such a treat. For me it felt more like a destination wedding experience as I was able to arrive on Friday night and attend the rehearsal, be there all Saturday for the wedding, and then leave on Sunday. Our friends and I hung out a lot, ate lots of good Korean food (mmm fried chicken!), there was even a late night poker game in my room that involved a lot of push-ups and sit-ups.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1861" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer01" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer01.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />We began the day early, but have no fear, groomsmen Dean and Alex delivered breakfast!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1862" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer02" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer02.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="677" />Karina and Bryan&#8217;s elegant and classy invitations were designed by my friend and also former bride / client, Becca of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://lavendersbluedesign.blogspot.com/" >Lavender&#8217;s Blue</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1863" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer03" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer03.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />Can you spot Karina&#8217;s wedding shoes? Our getting ready hotel, the Hyatt Place at Fair Lawn / Paramus, had some great modern touches</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1864" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer04" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer04.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1865" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer05" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer05.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1866" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer06" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer06.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />We all thought Karina&#8217;s mother had an amazing dress for the wedding as well. Is she not gorgeous?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1867" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer07" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer07.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />Getting into the dress took a while&#8230; After all, it had to be pulled tight and buttoned up!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1868" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer08" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer08.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1869" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer09" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer09.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1870" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer10" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer10.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />Karina&#8217;s older sister got married at the same church &#8211; Hawthorne Gospel Church</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1872" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer12" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer12.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1874" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer14" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer14.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />The wedding party worked so hard all weekend &#8211; including this awesome getaway car decor!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1876" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer16" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer16.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />The reception was held at The Tides, which had a gorgeous garden for photographs</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1878" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer18" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer18.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1880" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer20" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer20.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1882" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer22" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer22.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1884" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer24" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer24.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is called going all in for your photographs! Love!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1879" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer19" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer19.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1881" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer21" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer21.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1892" title="100626-964_2t" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100626-964_2t.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1885" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer25" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer25.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />Seeing their reactions to each others&#8217; answers during the shoe game was pretty priceless</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1886" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer26" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer26.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />There was so much food at the wedding. This viennese table was particularly awesome</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1887" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer27" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer27.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1871" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer11" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer11.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />We were quite schooled by the parents, who were much more lively on the dance floor at times than we were. This is Bryan&#8217;s beautiful mother, circling the dance floor in a traditional Korean hanbok</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1873" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer13" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer13.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />Some of our friends were talented too. Albert here used to be part of the breakdancing crew back at Harvard</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1875" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer15" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer15.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />The bridal party had two salutes. This was a really sweet one with roses greeting Karina and Bryan on the way out</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1877" title="new-jersey-wedding-photographer17" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/new-jersey-wedding-photographer17.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="900" height="603" />Annnd one more portrait at The Tides</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1888" title="100626-538_2t" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100626-538_2t.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Karina and Bryan, Married!" width="603" height="900" />I didn&#8217;t miss these two too much though, because I got to see them again two weeks later at another friend&#8217;s wedding. Okay, I do miss them. God bless everything with you guys!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What was the first thing Rebecca did on the morning of her wedding day? She jumped on her bed, exclaiming to Naimish, &#8220;we&#8217;re getting married!&#8221; while Naimish laughed. That playful energy persisted throughout the long wedding day. After a coma-inducing Indian buffet lunch, it was back to getting ready for the blue-and-white American wedding ceremony outdoors at the OceanCliff resort in Newport, Rhode Island. Be sure to check out <a href="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/weddings/boston-wedding-photographer-rebeccanaimish1/" title="wedding photography by boston wedding photographer Shang Chen" >part 1 of their wedding</a> as well!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Here are Rebecca&#8217;s Stuart Weitzman shoes and Pronovias wedding gown. My favorite part about the wedding gown is probably the scalloped neckline, it fits perfectly with the ocean-side venue</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1772" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100635" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100635.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1771" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100634" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100634.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />This was one of the flower girls, her mom is one of the bridesmaids. This was her second time as a flower girl, so she&#8217;s all seasoned now!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1773" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100636" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100636.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1774" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100637" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100637.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />Button that wedding dress in tight!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1775" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100638" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100638.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1778" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100641" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100641.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1780" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100643" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100643.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />While I was taking the photos for the ladies, my second shooter Tammy covered the men</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1781" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100644" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100644.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, American Wedding (part 2 of 2)" width="603" height="900" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1782" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100645" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100645.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1776" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100639" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100639.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">These hats are uber-cool</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1777" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100640" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100640.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />The ceremony happened under gorgeous, cloudless skies</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1784" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100647" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100647.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />Naimish&#8217;s friend, a violinist in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, performed a special piece</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1783" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100646" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100646.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />We had a lot of fun with wedding party portraits afterwrads</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1785" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100648" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100648.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1786" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100649" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100649.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />Tunnel wind, you are my friend</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1787" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100650" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100650.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1788" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100651" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100651.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1789" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100652" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100652.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, American Wedding (part 2 of 2)" width="603" height="900" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1790" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100653" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100653.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="603" height="900" />During dinner we ran outside again for a quick portrait as the sun set</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1791" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100654" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100654.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />There was dancing to be had at this wedding! First up, this is a very sweet photo of Naimish&#8217;s sister dancing with their father. She was married 5 years ago on the same weekend</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1792" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100655" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100655.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />I really have to hand it to DJ Yogi with Boston Light and Sound &#8211; they really rocked the dance floor with a mixture of top 40 beats and Indian music! I was raving about them the next day to all my friends. Heck, forget the fact that I&#8217;m Chinese, if I were getting married I&#8217;d want Indian music at my wedding reception!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1793" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100656" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100656.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1794" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100657" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100657.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are some days when as I pull together a wedding, I realize just how lucky and blessed I am to be doing this for now. Rebecca and Naimish&#8217;s wedding was so fun (you can check out their engagement photos at MIT <a href="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/engagements/rebeccanaimish-engagement-photos-boston-engagement-photographer/" >here</a>)! I&#8217;ve never met a more cool bride than Rebecca, she is spunky, funny, and full of energy. Naimish is a calming and wise force, and I am so happy to see them together. They had a traditional Indian Hindu ceremony in the morning, followed by an American ceremony and reception in the evening, so I&#8217;m splitting it into two posts because there is just so much to cover! Who doesn&#8217;t love an Indian wedding? The color!!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">One of the first things I saw upon arriving at the OceanCliff resort in Newport, Rhode Island, was their ceremony with the mandap. It&#8217;s so colorful!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1731" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100601" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100601.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Several people were on hand to help the ladies into their saris</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1733" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100603" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100603.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />This is the back of one of the bridesmaids&#8217; sari. Tracy picked it out herself. It&#8217;s so gorgeous!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1732" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100602" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100602.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />Rebecca&#8217;s mother helped with her makeup</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1734" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100604" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100604.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer, Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />Some more blue details &#8211; Kelly, a bridesmaid, has a gorgeous tie in the back of her sari. The shoes belong to Rebecca&#8217;s mother</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1735" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100605" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100605.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />Getting Rebecca into her wedding sari took quite some time =)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1736" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100606" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100606.jpg" alt="Newport wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1737" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100607" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100607.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />Great shot captured by my second shooter, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://tammyhuiphoto.smugmug.com/" >Tammy</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1738" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100608" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100608.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />Rebecca chose a modern design for her henna. This is one of my favorite things to photograph in an Indian wedding</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1739" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100609" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100609.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />Meanwhile Naimish chills with his friends in the restaurant</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1740" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100610" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100610.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />Then it was time for the barat, where the groom comes to greet the bride&#8217;s parents on a white horse! There is a lot of dancing and lively drumming</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1741" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100611" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100611.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1742" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100612" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100612.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1743" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100613" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100613.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />Amit, the drummer, said that he rarely got a photo of himself at a wedding, so here&#8217;s one for you!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1744" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100614" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100614.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="603" height="900" />It&#8217;s so awesome seeing everyone really get into the dancing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1745" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100615" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100615.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1746" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100616" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100616.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="603" height="900" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1747" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100617" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100617.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1748" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100618" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100618.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />Tammy captured this gorgeous photo of Rebecca watching everything from an upstairs window</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1749" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100619" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100619.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />The bride&#8217;s parents greet the groom with sweets</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1750" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100620" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100620.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1751" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100621" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100621.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />During the ceremony, Naimish&#8217;s sister and niece walk down the aisle</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1752" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100622" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100622.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Rebecca and her brother walked down with their grandmother</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1762" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100633" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100633.jpg" alt="Rhode Island wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1753" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100623" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100623.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />A Hindu wedding ceremony is rich with many rituals, each with their own purpose and meaning. I really appreciated the fact that the priests and the programs explained everything</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1755" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100625" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100625.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1756" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100626" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100626.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1757" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100627" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100627.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1758" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100628" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100628.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />At the end they asked all married couples to participate by having the husbands place their hands over their wives&#8217; hearts. I thought it was really sweet</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1759" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100629" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100629.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />Just a couple more of the gorgeous Rebecca!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1760" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100630" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100630.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1761" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100631" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100631.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />Then we had a delicious Indian lunch buffet catered by Mela &#8211; one of my favorite Indian restaurants in Boston! (great shot, Tammy!)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1730" title="boston-wedding-photographer-RN100632" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-RN100632.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rebecca and Naimish, Indian Wedding (part 1 of 2)" width="900" height="603" />Stay tuned for part 2!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s no secret I love traveling. Even within Massachusetts, there are hundreds of hidden gems and gorgeous places to get married. Linda and Daniel&#8217;s wedding at a private home in Provincetown on the tip of the Cape was no exception. There is just so much to love about this wedding &#8211; it&#8217;s intimate, stylish, and Linda and Daniel are so fun to be around. They are laid-back (so many of my couples are, which is funny because I think I&#8217;m much more structure-driven), creative, quite Canadian, and not to mention, ridiculously good-looking ;) This wedding was actually almost like a destination wedding for most guests, all who came down from the Montreal area. Linda and Daniel are no strangers to the Cape though. They have been vacationing in this area every summer for many years. I also felt like I was part of the family during the weekend &#8211; it was such a pleasure getting to know everyone and thank you so much for your hospitality towards me. I felt like I had a mini-vacation myself!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1701" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-13" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-13.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photos" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I arrived via the Provincetown ferry in the morning. There was threat of thunderstorms all day, so at the last minute we decided to move the portraits up to avoid most of the rain. In the end we were so glad we did so</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1689" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-01" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-01.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1690" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-02" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-02.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1691" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-03" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-03.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Linda did not want a typical wedding dress. She took five visits to the store and this very dress caught her eye every time. It&#8217;s a beautiful dress from <a href="http://www.aidanmattox.com/" >Aidan Mattox</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1692" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-04" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-04.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />We did the First Look on the lot right outside the house. It was drizzling at that point, but the lighting was beautiful and I don&#8217;t think Linda and Daniel noticed</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1693" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-05" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-05.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />The dominant colors of the wedding were yellow and gray. I love it when it shows up on the feet! Linda&#8217;s shoes were from Stuart Weitzman</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1694" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-06" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-06.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Linda did all the floral arrangements with flowers supplied by Whole Foods. Amazing, right? You&#8217;ll see more of it later on!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1715" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-27" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-27.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />It was truly sheer luck that the field across from the house had yellow flowers to match</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1696" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-08" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-08.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1698" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-10" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-10.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1699" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-11" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-11.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1700" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-12" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-12.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />At the very last minute the rain cleared and we were able to have the ceremony outside. Linda and Daniel constructed their very own chuppah using bamboo and draped cloth. It was gorgeous! One of Dan&#8217;s best friends, Luc, officiated while both mothers as well as Dan&#8217;s sister gave readings</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1703" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-15" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-15.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1704" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-16" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-16.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />Guests were able to blow bubbles at the end of the ceremony</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1705" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-17" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-17.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />The advantage of a small wedding? I can get a shot of everyone!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1706" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-18" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-18.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1707" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-19" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-19.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />We quickly drove out to Race Point Beach for a couple more photos &#8211; this is where Daniel proposed to Linda</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1708" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-20" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-20.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1709" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-21" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-21.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />And then the rain began and it rained for the rest of the night. It&#8217;s okay, because everything else was indoors =)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In true New England style, Linda and Daniel had lobsters for dinner. Their bibs are so cute!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1710" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-22" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-22.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />They played the shoe game. Apparently Linda is more likely to spend more money</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1711" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-23" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-23.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />How adorable are these initial cake toppers that Linda made??</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1716" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-28" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-28.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1712" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-24" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-24.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />Guests danced in the foyer of the house. There was an anniversary dance</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1713" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-25" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-25.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />This couple had been married the longest. Congratulations!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1714" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-26" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-26.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />And the details roundup! To answer some questions some readers, photographers, and prospective clients might have &#8211; why do I capture details? I usually capture details that are important to the bride and groom. Not all my weddings are the same and certainly not all of them have as much a focus on details or portraits, the wedding day schedule is built to emphasize the kind of photography that the client prefers, and the majority of the images I deliver continue to be in the photojournalistic wedding photography style, because a wedding is nothing without the people.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">However, for the weddings that do have a lot of details, I know that these details have taken the bride and groom a lot of time and commitment, so it&#8217;s important that they&#8217;re captured to fully tell the story of the day, even though these are not going to be the photos that get enlarged. In some ways I see the style and detail of a wedding almost like art &#8211; it reflects the fashion of the time, the personalities of the bride and groom, and pulls together the look. In addition, several of my clients often use these inspiration boards for their own wedding planning!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">First up, the paper! Linda used a typewriter to type up all the paper for the wedding and carved her own rose-shaped stamp that is a repeating motif in the design</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Rows 1 and 2: Invitation details<br />
Row 3: Escort card, stamped Chinese favor boxes (filled with yummy homemade cookies on the inside!), menu card</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1717" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-29" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-29.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="900" /> Row 1: Their rings on the type writer, which is used as part of the guestbook &#8211; guests are invited to type well-wishes on the typewriter and sign a matted frame<br />
Row 2: Linda&#8217;s shoes. Embroidered pocket square and cuff links for Daniel<br />
Row 3: A delicious cracker and cheese spread. DIY boutonnieres</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1718" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-30" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-30.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="900" /> Row 1: Mr and Mrs signs at the head of the table. DIY floral arrangements<br />
Row 2: The reception setup<br />
Row 3: Whimsical straws for the homemade lemonade that was served during cocktail hour. A really cool looking passed hors d&#8217;oeuvre</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1719" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-31" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LD1006-31.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Linda and Daniel | Cape Cod wedding photographer" width="900" height="900" />Thank you, Linda and Daniel, so much. I had such an amazing weekend and miss you guys already!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Luci and Owen hosted a gorgeous, offbeat, intimate wedding at Harvard Faculty Club for their family and friends. Some of them traveled down from Canada for this beautiful event. I had the honor of documenting their family-only wedding ceremony in the rose garden as well. The day was perfectly them, you can really tell how much they honored and loved each other and wanted to celebrate with the people who were important to them. Not to mention, this wedding has incredible style with beautiful DIY charm!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Luci chose this beautiful plum-colored gown from <a href="http://clairelafaye.com/" >Clair La Faye</a> and I adore the hair fascinator she had, too. It is stunning on her!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1636" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-03" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-03.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="603" height="900" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1638" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-05" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-05.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1635" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-02" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-02.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />Luci and Owen opted to have their portraits done all prior to the ceremony. We walked all around Harvard Yard and took plenty of time to relax, have fun, and laugh!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1637" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-04" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-04.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1639" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-06" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-06.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1640" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-07" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-07.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="603" height="900" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1641" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-08" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-08.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />The light was so good that day! Also, Luci DIYed all her flowers. It was the perfect season for peonies and billy balls</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1642" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-09" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-09.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">SO much gorgeousness!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1643" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-10" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-10.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />The weather was so perfect that day. We were holding our breath because it rained a lot that week</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1644" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-11" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-11.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1645" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-12" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-12.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1646" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-13" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-13.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1647" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-14" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-14.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />The family members joined us for the ceremony in the rose garden</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1648" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-15" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-15.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1649" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-16" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-16.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1650" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-17" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-17.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />This was a great moment during the ceremony when the officiant had them examine each others&#8217; hands and said some beautiful words along with it</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1651" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-18" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-18.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />We had some fun time doing the family portraits! I know I don&#8217;t show a lot of family wedding photos on this blog, but yes, I typically spend about 20 &#8211; 30 minutes on them during most weddings as most people request them. As much as I capture in a photojournalistic style, documenting, in a more traditional manner, the families who are there, is very important, too</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1652" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-19" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-19.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />How incredible are all their shoes?!?!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1653" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-20" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-20.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />Luci and her sisters are so much fun</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1654" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-21" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-21.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />This spiral staircase in the Harvard Faculty Club is so awesome. Even more awesome because it matches Luci&#8217;s dress</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1655" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-22" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-22.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />Then the guests began to arrive</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1656" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-23" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-23.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />A couple more!  I&#8217;m so happy to see Owen really get into the photos too</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1657" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-24" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-24.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1658" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-25" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-25.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1659" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-26" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-26.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1660" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-27" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-27.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />The dinner reception consisted of delicious food, fun toasts where Luci and Owen introduced everyone, and a game where guests had to guess in which years these old photographs were taken</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1661" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-28" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-28.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />Details round-up! And this wedding was nothing but short of stylish. Applause also to the staff at Harvard Faculty Club for being so professional in setting everything up</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1634" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-01" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-01.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />Row 1: Table centerpiece details. The centerpieces contained peonies, roses, and other fresh details, and were contained in beautiful mint julep cups<br />
Row 2: Orchid on the coffee table, Chinese takeout box favors, centerpiece<br />
Row 3: Detail of the favors, another centerpiece shot<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1662" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-29" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-29.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="900" /> Row 1: This is one of the most fun wedding guestbooks I&#8217;ve seen! The two dolls on the right represented Luci and Owen, and on each spread they were photographed doing something that Luci and Owen loved, such as eating Japanese food. I believe Luci&#8217;s sisters put this together for them<br />
Row 2: Escort cards, dessert buffet from Whole Foods, lamb chop appetizer &#8211; the food at the Harvard Faculty Club is absolutely delicious, I cannot recommend it highly enough<br />
Row 3: More appetizers and dessert buffet</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1663" title="boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-30" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/boston-wedding-photographer-LO1006-30.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer" width="900" height="900" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Fun fact &#8211; just a couple of days after the wedding I ran into Luci and Owen while walking around downtown Boston! Thank you for letting me there as part of your beautiful day and thank you for your warm friendship. Your friends respect you guys a lot, as do I, and I wish you nothing but the best!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember the <a href="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/engagements/boston-engagement-photographer-dianagreg1004/" >rock climbing engagement session</a>? By comments alone that was one of the most popular engagement sessions on Shang Chen Photography&#8217;s blog to date =) The energetic couple is now married! So many incredibly awesome vendors came together for their gorgeously detailed and modern wedding &#8211; including several of my favorites!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1607" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-28" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-28.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I fell head over heels for Diana&#8217;s birdcage veil which is adorned with a fabric and feather flower fascinator. It really completed her modern look! Her dress was a Jasmine from Camilla&#8217;s Bridal</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1581" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-02" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-02.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography, bride with birdcage veil" width="603" height="900" />Diana and her bridesmaids got ready in a room at the MIT Faculty Club. There were large windows and the light streaming through was just perfect</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Also, Carolina and her team, <a href="http://www.specialdaybycarolina.com/" >From Hair to Eternity</a>, another one of my favorites, provided the makeup and hair for the bride and bridemaids.  Carolina, you&#8217;re so wonderful!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1580" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-01" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-01.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="603" height="900" />The bridesmaids wore cute dark blue strapless dresses with a bubble hem, all from <a href="http://www.zara.com/" >Zara</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1582" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-03" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-03.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer, Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />We did all the portraits (First Look, family, wedding party, ones of just the bride and groom) before the wedding ceremony &#8211; and it gave Diana and Greg ample time to spend with their guests during cocktail hour. I really encourage everyone to try to get as many portraits done before as possible if you value having more time with your guests &#8211; including a First Look</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The next two photos are extra sweet as they are with the respective grandmothers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1583" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-04" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-04.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />Greg&#8217;s grandmother loved the kiss so much she said, &#8220;Do it again!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1584" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-05" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-05.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />The bridal party was energetic and up to my crazy antics. It was boiling hot that day so I was definitely trying to get them inside as soon as possible!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1585" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-06" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-06.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1586" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-07" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-07.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1587" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-08" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-08.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1588" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-09" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-09.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />We took photos all around the MIT campus. I love this campus. Diana is currently a Ph.D. student there</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1589" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-10" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-10.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography MIT Campus" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1590" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-11" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-11.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography at MIT" width="900" height="603" />This couple is just too gorgeous</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1591" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-12" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-12.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" />It&#8217;s so fun playing with Diana&#8217;s dress too!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1614" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-35" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-35.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography at MIT" width="900" height="603" /><a href="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-13.jpg" ><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1592" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-13" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-13.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="603" height="900" /></a><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1594" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-15" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-15.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" />One more with that window light. Can&#8217;t get enough of it!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1595" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-16" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-16.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />The ceremony was held at the MIT Faculty Club as well, officiated by a preferred vendor of mine, <a href="http://www.justiceofthepeaceconcord.com/" >Jean Ellis-La Bossiere</a>! I think it&#8217;s really cool that Greg is walked down by his parents</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1596" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-17" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-17.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography, MIT Faculty Club" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1597" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-18" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-18.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" />Uncles from both sides participated as well &#8211; Diana&#8217;s uncle gave a reading in Slovak (Diana is Slovak), and Greg&#8217;s uncle sang in German (Greg is German)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1598" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-19" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-19.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1599" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-20" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-20.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" />Diana&#8217;s parents and grandmother reacting to the beautiful song</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1600" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-21" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-21.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1601" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-22" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-22.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1602" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-23" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-23.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1603" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-24" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-24.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" />The professionals who were at the <a href="http://web.mit.edu/facultyclub/" >MIT Faculty Club</a> were really quite amazing. Nina, thank you for being so on top of things and making everything run so smoothly!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">During cocktail hour, there was a really great display at the escort card table &#8211; two large photo trees showing photos from Diana and Greg&#8217;s younger years. Everyone particular got a kick out of the one where Greg looked like John Lennon</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1615" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-36" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-36.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer" width="900" height="900" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is the gorgeous view of the Boston skyline from the reception room. This is why I love this town so much</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1608" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-29" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-29.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" />The staff at the MIT Faculty Club and <a href="http://www.orchidsnblooms.com/" >Orchids N&#8217; Blooms</a> set up this jaw-dropping reception. The table linen is sheer with navy blue swirls to match the white and navy blue wedding colors</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1604" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-25" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-25.jpg" alt="Boston wedding with white and navy blue wedding colors, chiavari chairs" width="900" height="603" />And here&#8217;s the dip during the first dance!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1606" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-27" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-27.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />Diana and Greg and her families were endlessly fun, I did not want to leave the wedding!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1609" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-30" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-30.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />I turned off the flash for this picture to show the amazingness that is the couple behind <a href="http://www.rcuplighting.com/" >RC Uplighting</a>, my new friends! The colors went from amber to blue during the night and really adds a whole level of modern color to the reception</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1610" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-31" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-31.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer" width="900" height="603" />Diana&#8217;s parents showed some very lively Slovak dancing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1611" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-32" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-32.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" />The ringbearer was a bundle of exploding energy</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1612" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-33" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-33.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" />Mike Gent of Murray Hill Talent DJed the event. I thought his tall and thin speakers were really cool, you can barely see them!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The reception went on with a mixture of lively American AND Slovak music. I love multi-cultural experiences!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1613" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-34" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-34.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Diana and Greg, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer" width="900" height="603" />The guests also got to enjoy a dessert buffet of Slovak treats</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1618" title="boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-39" src="http://shangchenphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/boston-wedding-photographer-DG0530-39.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photography" width="900" height="603" />More details and inspiration!</p>
