Wedding: Sex In The City Inspired Microwedding at the Mandarin Oriental

Who else loves a good Carrie Bradshaw moment? From her modern, structured dress (a nod towards Bradshaw’s wedding suit from her marriage to Big), to her navy blue Manolo Blahniks, our bride was picture perfect. We loved her classic white bouquet from Winston Flowers and the backdrop of the gorgeous Mandarin Oriental in downtown Boston. We even got lucky with a touch of fall foliage and the perfect golden hour glow for couples photos.

Not only was it Marina and Alec’s wedding day today, it was also the day that the elections were to finally be called. Everyone was waiting with bated breath, excited by the increasing likelihood that Trump was going to officially be declared a loser. When I arrived the news was on and by the end of the day, Marina and Alec got the best wedding gift they could have asked for. The amazing folks at the Mandarin Oriental ran the streets of Boston looking for a Biden/Harris sign we use for a photo of the couple. With just minutes of sunset left, they arrived with one and, buzzing with excitement, we ran outside to get my FAVORITE shot of the night! I’m so grateful to have clients that not only share my values, but are up for being bold and adventurous.
