Laura and Scott, Married! | Boston wedding photography

Super, super-fun. Laura and Scott’s families completely made this amazing day filled with laughter and tons of dancing. Time seriously flew by and when the end came, I wished it could happen all over again!

What a cool caketopper made by Sophia Hsu! Laura and Scott met at Villanova, and as I’ve explained in their engagement session, they’re, respectively, Red Sox and Yankees Mets fans (clearly I don’t know my sports)

Laura and Scott used “Lucky” by Jason Mraz / Colbie Callait as their first dance. It was the perfect song. I listened to it on repeat for days afterwards
