Alyssa + Shaun :: Wedding Part 2 :: Boston
Alright guys, get ready! Part 2 of Alyssa and Shaun’s Boston Wedding is here and the photos are creating some fierce competition for Part 1. If you haven’t yet checked out Part 1, do so and come back (you won’t be sorry you did!). One of the coolest things about Alyssa and Shaun getting married at the Commandant’s House in the Charlestown Navy Yard, was that they were given exclusive access to board the USS Constitution (baring any issues of National Security) <— love that. Obviously, Graham was there to capture their every step on board, and did he ever. We are seriously IN LOVE with these couples shots! Talk about breathtaking.
As if Alyssa and Shaun needed anything else to make their wedding absolutely spectacular after a few newlywed shots on the USS Constitution, their reception definitely didn’t disappoint. Complete with over 100 red and blue lobster lollipops functioning as place cards (which Alyssa made herself btw — our OLAS brides continually amaze us with their craftiness!), a true New England clambake, and a live band for a crazy fun post dinner party, I’d say that Alyssa and Shaun’s goal of creating a relaxed and fun-filled vibe for their reception guests was more than achieved.
There are about a million other great things we could tell you about this couple and their wedding day, but this last little detail is probably our favorite. You’ll notice below that there aren’t any photos of the bouquet toss… this isn’t because they decided to forgo the tradition altogether, but because they decided to do something incredibly special and meaningful for Alyssa’s parents. You see, her parents were celebrating their 39th wedding anniversary this exact weekend, and Alyssa and Shaun really wanted to make sure it didn’t get forgotten amongst all of their wedding celebrations. So, instead of tossing the bouquet, Alyssa took a moment out of their reception to present it to her mother and then she and Shaun shared a special dance with her parents for their anniversary. Love, love, LOVE this precious couple. Alyssa and Shaun, thank you for trusting us to capture these beloved memories – we couldn’t be more honored to have you as part of our OLAS family. x’s & o’s
