Matt and Brandon's wedding day at Harrington Farm in Princeton, MA felt like something straight out of a movie, with the most beautiful autumn weather you could imagine. The falling leaves and vibrant foliage created a perfect backdrop, and we couldn't help but joke that it looked like a film set. Their color scheme of navy and burgundy blended seamlessly with the seasonal beauty.


They had the most perfect timeline, with a first look that allowed us to capture most of their photos before the ceremony. This gave Matt and Brandon plenty of time to truly soak in their cocktail hour and reception without rushing through photos—always a great decision for couples wanting to fully enjoy the moment!


One of the day’s most heartwarming highlights was the presence of their sweet ring bearer, Simba, a spry 14-year-old pup who stole everyone's hearts. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any more memorable, a bear made a surprise appearance during the couple’s photo session! Though too quick and in the woods for the camera, we all agreed that a bear sighting on your wedding day has to be a sign of good luck, right?


Their friends, Theresa and Scott, officiated a deeply personal and touching ceremony that perfectly captured Matt and Brandon's love story and gave everyone a glimpse into their incredible journey together. The reception that followed was stunning, with the barn transformed into a rustic scene with their navy and burgundy details, and breathtaking monogrammed centerpieces and florals.


The night ended with Matt and Brandon dancing the night away, surrounded by the love of their family and friends. We couldn’t have been happier to be part of such a special day. Congratulations, Matt and Brandon!
