Ani and Steve at the Four Seasons in Boston, Part Two and Photo Lounge Fun!

Posted by Mariah:

Here we are for the last installment of Ani and Steve... I know they are checking the blog from their honeymoon in Hawaii, so enjoy this one too guys!

We stepped across Boylston for a quick photo in the park... Ani really wanted a few photos outside so we snapped a couple quick pix and then headed back inside for some much need air conditioning!

Walking in the city... it's always a good time.

So is smooching on the elevator, Trish caught this cute photo.

The 4 Seasons has this terrific staircase- Love it.

The bridal party workin' it...

Ani carried a bouquet of tulips because they were her mother's favorite flower. So sweet.

This is one of my favorite photos from the day... Steve is whispering something here to make Ani smile...knowing him it might be fresh!

Love this one too, they look so fabulous.

Done with the photos, time to enjoy the cocktail hour!

Ani and Steve had gorgeous food at their reception...

Isn't that beautiful?

Yum!

During the cocktail hour the staff flipped the ceremony site and transformed it into a sea of beachy blue tables.

Absolutely love the linens.

Also love the funky shape of the plates.

Isn't this out of this world? I love the tall slender vases with the single hydrangea blooms.

Driftwood, my fav!

I just want to say that Trish took ALL of these beautiful room shots and had about 3 minutes to do it before the guests filtered in- nice job Trishy!

And here they come!

The lighting they chose made the reception photos so dramatic. Can't say enough about adding lighting... it makes all the difference in the pix.

Ani and Steve having their first dance...they are off to a good start.

So sweet!

Nicely dipped Steve!

The hora... always a good photo op. Ani looked mostly terrified in the photos, and I can't say I blame her. Actually she looked half terrified and half joyous... if that's possible!

Her dad on the other hand just looks joyous!

So fun. It's contagious really!

Laughing at the toasts.

Steve's dad gave a great toast... the point of the speech being that Ani was worth the waiting for Steve to find the right girl, agreed!

Steve and his sis having a nice moment... thanks again Donna for all your efforts!

A big thank you to all their guests for being a part of the fun.

Steve and Ani made sure their guests enjoyed the full snap experience by having the photoloung on hand, as usual it was a big hit...

Here's a small peek at the photolounge merriment.

Ani and Steve at the Four Seasons, Boston Part One

Posted by Mariah:

A little rest ... and Trish and I are ready to roll again...

this time Ani and Steve's venue is the beautiful 4 Seasons Hotel in Boston, directly across from the Boston Public Gardens... one of my favorite places in the city. The forecast looks great and we are ready for another fun day.

Winstons created this lovely bouquet of orchids for Ani.

Trish was on details for the day, so this is her pretty shot.

Are these amazing or what?! They are for the after-party, but I couldn't resist snapping them when Ani showed them to me.

More beautiful bouquets from Winstons.

Ani has the most beautiful silky brown hair. It's super shiny. I asked her what the secret is, but she says she doesn't have one... hmmmm....




















Trish getting a nice ring detail... it's one of her specialties.

Ani slips into her dress, a summery light floaty dress from Vera Wang. It's perfect on her.

So pretty.

Time for a few portraits of our bride. We found this spot in the foyer near the elevators and I was insane for this wallpaper. Also, the hotel was nice enough to provide us with a giant window covered in white fabric... voila! homemade soft box! LOVE IT!

Of course having such a beautiful little model helps matters. This one is my fav.

Right?!

Ani was so excited and happy...

Ani and her cousins.

...and of course with dad.

Meanwhile, Trish is photographing Steve and company...he looks pretty happy too I'd say.

Here's the "company" congregating for their formals.

Lovely photo of Steve's family.

This is Donna, Steve's sister... she was a force of organization for this big day! Not only did she plan and orchestrate much of the event, she also preformed the ceremony! The day truly could not have happened without her. Hooray for Donna!

P.S. She also managed to do all this looking quite fetching I might add...

Steve and his best men...

A little clowning around... it's oneof Steve's specialties...

It's that time...

Isn't this amazing? It's South beach in Boston! Fitting because Ani is from Cuba originally and her family settled in Miami and that is where she met Steve.

This vases and blooms are suspended from the chuppa and form it's ceiling. This really knocked my socks off.

The big moment...

So exciting!

Isn't this gorgeous?! The beachy-ness is complete with a wooden boardwalk leading to the chuppa.

Ani's brother does a reading...

Ani had very sweet vows that she prepared for Steve. She talked about how she admires his commitment to his family.

The family all agrees...

Steve's vows were also sweet... and funny! He prepared them in Spanish which was a surprise for Ani and a treat for her family. He did a great job reading them and even invented a new word... "caliente-ness" which is a reference to Ani's um, beauty. :)

Married!

Time for a few minutes alone (with me).

I love this photo.

We are heading to the park for a few portraits...

Stay tuned for lots more to come!!!!
