Boston Public Library Wedding Photos | M & M

When the Boston Public Library opened in 1895, this Renaissance building was declared a “palace to the people”. It’s one of the my favorite wedding venues in Boston to photograph, for its historical significance and sheer beauty!

Boston Public Library Wedding Photographer Nicole Chan Photography — and by working with two photographers, we can plan and capture two different perspectives! Without two photographers (or a remote camera triggered by a remote or a timer), it would be nearly impossible to capture both this photo and the one above within seconds of each other. I’m pretty fast, but not that fast! 😉

Boston Public Library Wedding Photographer Nicole Chan Photography — This is the Abbey room, painted by Edwin Austin Abbey (1852-1911). He was an American muralist and painter. His murals in the Boston Public Library, titled “The Quest and Achievement of the Holy Grail” are his most famous! It took 11 years to complete.

Boston Public Library Wedding Photographer Nicole Chan Photography — I love naked cakes. Well, I love all cakes, but I especially love naked cakes because I’m more of a cake person, rather than a frosting person!

Boston Public Library Wedding Photographer Nicole Chan Photography — M & M, like many of my couples, are not “center of attention” kind of people. Their vision for their Boston Public Library wedding was an elegant and relaxed dinner party!
