Amy and Matt were married at Arnold Arboretum’s Vine and Shrub Garden in Jamaica Plain, MA. I loved this wedding. I arrived early to scope out the area, do a little recon and whatnot, but ended up wilting and panting underneath a tree instead, where the shade was not much cooler. While figuring out where to do the portraits, I spotted the groom and his party arrive with a cooler, all decked out in their multi-layers of finery. Magenta vests and ties! Hot! So very…hot…

There was a very happy grove of trees on a small incline that I wanted to do the portraits in. But in the heat, the patch of unshaded lawn we had to traverse to get there looked like a death march, so we stayed under the pavilion.
The reception was held nearby at West on Centre, where Amy and Matt first met.

Dance party time!
Hair today…
…gone tomorrow…
This is us the next evening when Dan and I crashed their mini-moon at the Liberty Hotel. Forgive the icky camera phone quality but you can still see what a night’s worth of being thirsty can do to one’s head.
Congrats Amy and Matt!
