Cara and Rick, Married! | Boston Wedding Photography

Cara and Rick were married on a beautiful, beautiful August day. In fact, all my August weddings had awesome weather, but I think the temperature was a lot cooler on their wedding! Cara really loved photos, and so we made sure we left pleeenty of time for portraits – nearly 2 hours! In fact, I helped Cara go over the wedding day schedule prior to make sure that we could get all the photos in. Cara planned her wedding from Texas, so major props to how smooth the day went! Her wedding party was HUUUGE and we also wanted all the family combinations covered. I’m so psyched to present this set of photos. Enjoy!
