Boston Esplanade Minimony

Imagine this, you are attending “Preview Week” at MIT and as you’re in line for a crepe, you notice someone, also standing in line.

This is the beginning of forever for Hannah and Corey.

Four guests attended their Boston Esplanade Minimony!

I am so happy that the two of them trusted me to document their Boston Esplanade Wedding. With only four guests in attendance.

Mother Nature was certainly on their side with brilliant oranges and yellows for the fall foliage for their Boston Esplanade Minimony!

A big concern for Hannah and Corey was that New Yorkers would not be allowed to cross in Massachusetts. I’m so glad that didn’t happen!

I think it’s because couples know that only their handful of guests will be there to hear them. And so, they feel a little more comfortable saying personal vows. Major plus, in my book!

Long time blog readers, my friends, and former clients know me to climb trees, lay on the ground, stop traffic, and contort my body to get the perfect shot. This is a new one. I’ve never stood in so much goose poop. This is where I stood to get the photo of Hannah and Corey with all of the orange trees surrounding them. I think it was 100% worth it!
