Spring weddings are always a delight, and Emily and Eric’s special day was nothing short of magical. Set against the enchanting backdrop of the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill, their wedding was a celebration filled with love, joy, and breathtaking beauty.


The day began with a picturesque first look and wedding party photos at the historic Old Stone Church in West Boylston, MA. This location never fails to provide the most charming backdrop, and Emily and Eric’s photos were no exception. The natural beauty of the church combined with the blooming spring landscape set the perfect stage for their love story.


Emily’s dad, who also happened to be their florist, truly outdid himself. The floral arrangements were elegant and colorful, perfectly complementing their pastel color scheme. It’s incredible how he managed both roles—florist and father of the bride—with such grace and skill. His work added a personal and heartfelt touch to every part of the day.


The ceremony took place in the Secret Garden at the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. Emily and Eric wrote the most beautiful vows to each other, and their heartfelt words resonated with everyone present. The setting, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant blooms, was the perfect place for them to exchange their promises of love and commitment.


After the ceremony, the celebration continued with toasts and a stunning sunset that painted the sky with shades of pink and orange.


Emily and Eric had made it clear from our first meeting that the party and dancing were a top priority for them. To ensure they had ample photographs of dance floor, they opted to skip the getting ready photos. This decision paid off as they spent the evening dancing joyously with their family and friends. The dance floor was alive with energy, and it was clear that everyone was having an absolute blast.


Capturing Emily and Eric’s wedding day was an honor and a joy. From the heartfelt vows to the lively dance floor, every moment was filled with love and happiness. We are so grateful to have been a part of their special day and to have witnessed such a beautiful celebration of love.


These two are just the sweetest couple and it was so wonderful to see them have such a perfect day! Congratulations, Emily and Eric! May your journey together be filled with endless love, laughter, and cherished memories.
