Everyone has a favorite season, and I have always said that mine is hands down Autumn. It is pure magic here in New England, and something you just can’t put words too. When Alexandra first inquired, we immediately hit it off, and on that first phone call started chit chatting about all the things we both had in common… spoiler alert…we have a very similar aesthetic and style, and dream of motherhood and family life, which made everything so much fun. She was an immediate friend that I simply adored! She then went on to mention that it would be a fall wedding on the coast of Rye, New Hampshire at Abenaqui Country Club, and I knew that with who this couple was, and the planning they had already decided on, it was bound to be such a beautiful day!

The day started off in Hampton Falls, at the home that Alexandra grew up in with her 2 sisters to do some getting ready pictures. Talk about absolutely beautiful, so much love in that house, the care and detail of it, I immediately felt the love from her Mom and Dad and the love between the whole family. Alexandra was a vision coming down that stairwell, and she showed her bridesmaids, and family her dress for the first time. The Bridesmaids and some family took a trolley over to Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Newburyport, Massachusetts for the ceremony. It was stunning, and so classic, and sacred. Brett’s first time seeing Alexandra was when she was walking down the aisle towards him, and his smile says everything!

From there we went over to Abenaqui Country Club where everything was set up and waiting, and simply beautiful! We went out to the golf course quickly to do allll the pictures before that Autumn sun went down… and let me tell you, they were so worth it! Everyone enjoyed the most delicious meal while we listened to the most heart felt speeches… especially Alexandra’s dad… I think it is safe to say we were all so proud of him for getting through that! Something about that first daughter getting married… whew!

Alexandra and Brett.. you two have the most beautiful love between you, and I was so honored to be apart of your wedding day. I can’t wait to see your life unfold and the beautiful journey ahead!

Joyfully,

Melissa
