After Sam and Josh had their beautiful wedding ceremony at the Pines Theater in Look Park in Northampton, MA, we took them for a brief portrait session and then it was off to their reception at the Garden House next door. We only spent about 10 minutes for portraits afterwards since they opted for the first look before the ceremony. All their family formals were done, so they got to hang out with all their guests at the cocktail hour. It was a very laid back reception, which was very fitting for the couple. They had a first dance (to “You Are The Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne, which fit the two of them PERFECTLY) and toasts, and the rest of the night was completely unscheduled. The bride and groom’s laid back attitude allowed the night to flow naturally and everyone had a great time. Here are a few of our favorites:
This next one is one of our favorite shots of the wedding. Sam really knows how to work that smile for the camera:
There were little Irish touches that showed up throughout their wedding day.
The entrance of the bridal party was certainly animated……
However, the real party started when Sam and Josh entered. Some of you may remember that Josh is a HUGE soccer fan and a player himself, so since this wedding was right in the midst of the World Cup, there was a hint of those festivities around the room, including the happy couple entering to shoults of Ole, Ole, Ole! Josh made such a rockstar entrance here, he even sacrificed a small part of his pants leg to this floor, but it was well worth it for this entrance:
A beautiful first dance, you can really see how happy they are here.
Samantha’s sister gave a very touching, beautiful toast.
A little dance fight action here later in the night:
And a nice little moment between the new family celebrating their togetherness.
Lots more to come from this and our other awesome weddings, so check back soon!
