Snow was falling heavy as I headed into the Chicago’s luxurious Peninsula Hotel to begin coverage of a winter wedding for an out of town couple. After preparations and photographs in the hotel, the bride and groom were whisked away to the Chicago Cultural Center. The groom carried his bride through the deep snow and celebrated the marriage with family and friends. Bridal hair and makeup by Holly Kasprisin of Chicago Bridal Hair and Makeup.
As the preferred photographer for the CRI Boathouse, I had the opportunity to photograph one of the very first weddings at Boston’s best new piece of architecture. Community Rowing Inc.’s newly designed Harry Parker Boathouse is a fresh addition to the boathouses that dot the Charles River. The structure is both innovative and bold. Banks of windows provide an amazing panorama of the river and offer exceptional natural light. The boathouse is a fresh, raw space serving as a suitable blank canvas for even the pickiest brides searching for unique venues. This “green building” is one of the few raw, loft-like event spaces available in the Boston area. For weddings, the facility employs Leigh Terry to facilitate space rental. Following a mass at nearby Trinity, William Meehan and Marie McMahon held their wedding reception at the CRI Boathuse, and chose me for their wedding photographer, and Amy Turell as their wedding planner.
