Nicole & Tom 08.28.09

After mee­ting with Liz & Jon for their enga­ge­ment pho­tos I hea­ded over to Kings­ton, MA to the Jones River Tra­ding Com­pany to shoot Nicole & Tom’s wed­ding. Having never heard of Jones River I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was one of the most uni­que pla­ces I’ve been!

I arri­ved as the cere­mony was just about to start and Tom was anxiously wai­ting for his bride to be. First though his son and to-​be brother-​in-​law hea­ded out to join the guys with the rings.

As I watched them I saw Tom break into a GIANT smile and little Tommy got this look in his eyes — - I knew Nicole must have made it to the door way

And there she was with her dad loo­king radiant!

The out­door cere­mony set­ting by the water was just gor­geous. I adore that huge tree.

I’m not 100% sure the story behind this but they were pre­sen­ted with this orna­ment at the end of the cere­mony by the captain/​officiant it was pretty cool!

Just after that — they were man & wife! It had been a long time coming for these high school sweethearts — Such a kiss!!

Tommy was such a cutie. He was so ready for his photo shoot!

A ladies man already — watch out girls!

The set up at Jones River is ama­zing — I was in awe of this han­ging appe­ti­zer dis­play (until later in the eve­ning when I acci­den­tally bac­ked into it and thought I was going to break it — - no harm no foul but yipes!)

I also loved these crea­tive river rocks for place cards and the wate­ring can in kee­ping with the ‘water’ theme!

The girls were doing Nicole’s bustle. They were so full of concentration!

While I wai­ted for the bust­ling and the rest of the fes­ti­vi­ties to get under way these two boys were ham­ming it up for me in front of the camera. And then, there they were, Mr. & Mrs!

They had put together a really heart­war­ming sli­deshow of their years as indi­vi­duals, a cou­ple, and then a family. Tommy had been dan­cing with his mom on the floor twir­ling her around and when this photo of the new­born came up on the screen he exc­lai­med “hey, that’s me!” it was so cute.

The cup­cake tower with Pink “N“s and Blue “T“s. These babies tas­ted like gour­met hos­tess cup­ca­kes. It was unreal.

Nicole & Tom had barely star­ted to cut into the cup­cake when Tommy rea­li­zed what was going on and ran up to them upset they were going to eat cake without him! They assu­red him he’d get his too and sent him back to his seat.

I love this pic­ture of Nicole & her father — he looks so full of memo­ries and love.

The cen­ter­piece givea­way was funny — the DJ made ever­yone dance with their flo­wers. It was inte­res­ting to see people’s inter­pre­ta­tions of that!

Then it was time to get down! Lots of dan­cing for young and old!

I think the jux­ta­po­si­tion bet­ween boys and girls some­ti­mes! Get funky? Nah, I’ll just sit and read thank you.

It was a fabu­lous eve­ning. These two are most cer­tainly sup­por­ted and surroun­ded by love and family!
