A Massachusetts Wedding at The Starting Gate with Spectacular Views & Blush Blooms | Massachusetts Wedding Photographer

Amanda & Joshua had a gorgeous summer wedding at The Starting Gate in Hampden, Massachusetts. Spectacular views & blush blooms filled their day! Wild Orchid Florals did a phenomenal job on all the florals and had everyone swooning. Amanda wore a strapless, fitted lace gown by Elysee. It fit her perfectly & was absolutely stunning, especially paired with her long cathedral veil. It perfectly complimented the timeless look she was going for. And Larissa Lake Co did a beautiful job with all the hair and makeup for the girls.

Amanda & Josh are one of the sweetest couples you will ever meet. They are warm and inviting, it does not take long being around them to see this as well as the love they have for each other. It was such a joy capturing their excitement and emotions throughout the day. The weather was calling for thunderstorms during their ceremony, but it kept pushing back and they were able to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony and get all their photos in before the rain came. The fields and views at The Starting Gate are such gorgeous backdrops so we were super excited the rain held off and we were able to utilize the beautiful grounds for their portraits. After their photos they were able to enjoy some time at their cocktail hour with their guests. Delicious appetizers, custom drinks, and so many thoughtful details.

During their reception their guests gave beautiful toasts and they had a smoke machine for their first dance which was so cool! I love how those photos turned out! It was a beautiful celebration and such a fun evening surrounded by their people. We are so happy for you Amanda & Josh and wish you the absolute best in this new season of life as Mr. & Mrs! Congrats!!!
