Danielle and Peder, Married! | Boston wedding photographer

Danielle and Peder got married on a gorgeous August Saturday. My most memorable event from their wedding was one of their readings – it was a poem about how falling in love was like owning a dog. Too cute!

These shoes really summarize Danielle and Peder’s wedding style – modern, elegant

This is their dog Lexi! They included her in the ceremony as well

They are a hilarious bunch!

This allowed us much time upfront to be relaxed. The weather was gorgeous and there was cloud cover as well. I could not have asked for anything better!

Just gives me another reason to play around!

This is a great “guestbook” idea – the guests were asked to print their thumb on a painting of a tree. Lots of disposable wipes were provided to keep those fingers ink-free afterwards

I chose to do the ring shot on the small kettle. Danielle incorporated her Vietnamese heritage into the wedding ceremony by offering both parents tea
