Emma and Josh's wedding at Publick House in Sturbridge, MA, was a beautiful celebration of love and commitment. With a morning ceremony that perfectly complemented the day's sunny and warm weather, it was clear that this adorable couple is truly made for each other!


During the getting ready time, both Emma and Josh couldn't stop commenting on how they couldn't wait to see each other. Their anticipation and excitement set a sweet tone for the entire day.


Just as we started wedding party photos before the ceremony, we had an unexpected yet delightful guest—a turtle! The little visitor added a sweet and unique touch to the day. It’s not every day you get to see a wedding turtle!


Their ceremony, officiated by a close friend, was one of the highlights of the day. Spencer's words were heartfelt and genuine, and he performed the ceremony with such poise and warmth that we couldn’t help but think he might have a future in officiating weddings professionally.


As Emma and Josh visited with their guests during the reception, it was heartwarming to see how they kept radiating back toward each other. Their connection was palpable, and they seemed to draw strength and happiness from being close to one another.


The reception was filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and even a little bit of joyful dancing. Emma and Josh's love for each other shone brightly throughout the entire event, and their friends and family were clearly thrilled to celebrate this special day with them.


Publick House provided a beautiful backdrop for the day’s events. Its charming New England ambiance added to the warmth and intimacy of the wedding, making it a perfect setting for Emma and Josh's big day.


Congratulations, Emma and Josh! Your wedding was a testament to the love and joy you bring to each other's lives and the lives of those around you. Here’s to many more beautiful mornings together.
