Cara & John

Cara and John were married at The Mansion, in Rock City Falls, NY, just outside of Saratoga Springs. They had a somewhat rainy day, which seems to be normal for this summer!! So the ceremony was held inside of the barn instead of outside in the gardens. BUT after the ceremony the rain stopped and everyone was able to enjoy cocktails, dinner and dancing on the deck. John is a US Marine, so naturally Cara's colors were red, white and blue and she did a fabulous job keeping that theme very subtle. The bridesmaids wore dresses from J.Crew, while the men kept is simple with Polo shirts and khaki's-except for John, who wore his uniform. To see a small slideshow click HERE.


Cara had her seamstress sew a small red flower into her shoes. What a fabulous idea!




While the ladies prepared in The Mansion, the men dressed in this cute little house in the back.














Thanks for the great fun and laughs! Best wishes!

Clamming on the Cape

While on vacation I had the chance to go clamming with my uncle, two cousins, and little Isabella. The day felt so mysterious because of the fog, but we were able to find a good amount of clams which we enjoyed at dinner that evening. Here's a few photos from the day.



These little hermit crabs were all about the water when we were putting the boat in.










After all our hard work we took the boat over to Nauset Beach. Lots of large waves and I think I even spoted a whale! Here's the crew minus me.

Taking a break after our hard work...

It might be a girl!

My husband and I had our 20 week ultrasound today. She's as active as a monkey! Jumping all around, mostly landing on my bladder, which would explain the frequent bathroom breaks when I have the littlest sip of water! They couldn't tell 100 percent, but if they had to guess, they'd guess a girl. Mike is still holding out for man parts - ha! I guess we'll wait and see. Here's her first debut on the blog...

Signe & Claude

Signe & Claude were married at St. Paul's Church in Brookline and had their reception at XV Beacon. Originally from Germany, Signe met Claude while in Boston attending Emerson College. They now live in London and planned the entire event from afar. To see a slideshow of images click here-otherwise here's a few photos from their day.






Waiting to walk down the aisle....
The ceremony was held in the Chapel of St. Paul's.
This little man was the cutest ring bearer!


The rain held off all day - which made photos in the Boston Common and the cocktail hour on the rooftop all the more enjoyable!







After the rooftop, guests were moved down to the wine cellar for dinner.




Congratulations Signe & Claude. Thanks to you and your family for making me feel so welcome and for ensuring I didn't fall off any chairs! Have a great week in Boston and safe travels back to London!
