Welcome back from another hot weekend, everyone! Today’s supposed to be another scorcher, but we’ve got a super cool Boston wedding from Atlanta wedding photographer Jill Higgins to cool you off.
Flora & Rory
How did a wedding photographer based in Georgia end up shooting a wedding at the Boston Public Library, you might ask? Flora met her at a friend’s wedding she photographed in California. Referrals, people!
Flora & Rory met at MIT and spent lots of time studying together at the tables in the Boston Public Library, founded in 1848. The time they spent there during their relationship made it the perfect venue for their wedding, not to mention it’s absolutely stunning! Flora & Rory were wed outside in the library’s courtyard, where guests also enjoyed a cocktail hour before moving into the library for the beautiful reception. Tables were set up literally amidst the stacks; the seating cards mimicked library check-out cards and the beautiful flower centerpieces sat aside piles of books in a genre corresponding to the table name. We love the details in this wedding, and Jill did a fantastic job capturing their day!
Congratulations, Flora & Rory! Thanks, Jill, for sharing these beautiful images. Be sure to check out her blog for much, much more prettiness.

I always look forward to posting Friday weddings, but I’ve been a little extra giddy all week about this Atlanta affair shot by husband and wife team Matt & Kate Altmix. Matt & Kate are wedding photographers based in Atlanta, and they’re also proud parents to this beautiful (not so) little lady. They bring different backgrounds in photography to the table (Kate attended art school and Matt worked in advertising), but their work meshes beautifully and their weddings never cease to put a smile on my face.
Amy & Dan
Kate spent the morning with Amy and the girls while they got ready (surrounded by a whole lot of makeup) while Matt hung out with Dan and the groomsmen. Amy & Dan met at Emory University in Atlanta, so it was only right that they spent some time before their ceremony taking some stunning portraits on Emory’s campus.
Amy & Dan had their ceremony in the garden at The Frazer Center. They both agreed that they wanted an intimate and meaningful ceremony, so they had the chairs arranged in a circle for their guests. They had a sweet tree planting ceremony, in which Amy & Dan added soil to the planter and each of their parents took turns watering the sapling. Following the ceremony, Amy & Dan had a reception complete with a Korean meal (catered by Bold American), served family style at each table to maintain the intimate feeling they wanted for their wedding, and one of the most epic dance parties I’ve ever seen at a wedding. Amy changed into a knee-length cocktail dress to get the party started, and from the looks of things – it never stopped!
Congratulations, Amy & Dan! Flawless work, as usual, Matt & Kate. Head over to the newlyweds’ blog to see more details from Amy & Dan’s lovely Atlanta wedding!

We have a gorgeous beach wedding from Atlanta wedding photographer Marta Noe this morning! I see a lot of beach weddings throughout the week and I must say that Sara & Josh’s wedding took the beach theme to a whole new level while keeping it classy. Their wedding was held on Anna Maria Island in Florida, which I didn’t even know existed until I came across this gorgeous wedding!
Sara & Josh
Sara & Josh are both scuba divers, so it was only appropriate that they had an underwater wedding theme and their colors were aqua and brown (one of my favorite complimentary color combinations). Josh proposed to Sara underwater while they were on a trip in Key Largo. He popped the question 75 feet inside a shipwreck called Spiegel Grove! Talk about a unique proposal. These grooms are setting the standards pretty high these days. ;)
Their ceremony took place on the beach and incorporated a sand ceremony in place of the traditional unity candle. Sara & Josh’s reception was held at the Bayside Banquet Hall. Sara carried orchids and other greenery in a Nautilus shell while her bridesmaids carried simple orchids with shells in cute little baskets. The details from this wedding make it really special – the water-filled centerpieces that look like jellyfish (so awesome), Sara’s starfish necklace, the chocolate shells on the cake. After I post this wedding, you’ll probably be able to find me browsing cheap flights to Florida on Orbitz.
If this wedding didn’t give you a craving for the beach (or the shore as we Pennsylvanians call it), you must be blind. Congratulations, Sara & Josh! Thanks for letting us share this wedding, Marta. Head over to her blog to see more of her lovely work.
