Sabrina and Matt had an amazing wedding day at the Chocksett Inn in Sterling, MA! While the forecast called for rain—and delivered—it didn’t dampen their spirits one bit. These two embraced every moment and threw an unforgettable celebration, complete with an epic reception that had the dance floor packed all night.


We were lucky that the rain let up just in time for couples photos, and we made the most of the gardens at the Chocksett Inn. The grounds looked especially lush after the rain, and Sabrina and Matt were all smiles as we explored for portraits.


One of the sweetest parts of the day? Their baby Steven and their dog Link were both part of the celebration! It was heartwarming to see their little family together and to capture those moments alongside all the big ones.


They also had a live painter onsite, creating a beautiful piece of art from the ceremony. Guests loved watching it come to life throughout the night—it was such a fun and unique touch.


Everyone was wonderful to work with, and it was such a joy to document the day. Huge congratulations to Sabrina and Matt!
