Missy and John’s Colonial Hotel Celebration
Missy and John celebrated their beautiful November wedding at the Colonial Hotel in Gardner MA. The day began with gloomy skies and steady rain, but by the time photography began the weather shifted and the clouds cleared. The rest of the afternoon was crisp, bright, and perfect for photos.
They shared a first look and then explored the Colonial grounds together, making the most of the fresh air and the pretty late fall backdrop. Their wedding party joined them outside for photos before everyone headed indoors for family portraits on the grand staircase.
Their ceremony was sweet and meaningful, surrounded by the people who clearly adore them. Afterward we stepped outside again for blue hour photos before they joined their cocktail hour. From there the celebration really began. Their friends and families were full of joy and energy, and the toasts reflected how loved and admired these two are. The dance floor stayed full and Missy and John had an amazing time celebrating with everyone who came to support them.
It was a wonderful day from start to finish and we were so happy to be there to capture it. Congratulations Missy & John!
