Julie+Steve | 10.15.11 | Fruitlands Museum, Harvard MA

This is another blog post that is long overdue, but with the rush of portraits for the holidays this wedding didn’t get posted.  Julie and Steve hired us only a few weeks before their wedding.  They were looking for a photographer for just a few hours to shoot getting ready, the ceremony & a few portraits.  Even though our time together was short, Andrew & I had a great time hanging out with Julie & Steve as well as their family & friends.  In the 2 hours we were at the Fruitlands Museum we saw the weather change from sunny & gorgeous to windy and drizzly.  We had to rush the portraits a bit due to the wind & rain, but luckily it held out and didn’t start until after the ceremony.  The Fruitlands grounds are absolutely gorgeous and we hope we get to shoot another wedding there in the future!

A crochet hook makes a huge difference if you have lots of buttons on the back of your dress!  I tell brides this all the time at the bridal shop.  If you have lots of buttons to hook, get a crochet hook for sure.  Steve and Julie had a special necklace to give Julie’s daughter during the ceremony.  I think when children are involved it is always nice to do something special to incorporate them into the wedding ceremony.
Julie had her chiropractor come up to the room where they were getting ready to do a last minute adjustment for her!  That is a dedicated chiropractor for sure!  After the adjustment Julie was ready and excited to walk down the aisle.
