Ali and Evan's Wedding in Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Ali and Evan had an amazing wedding! To prove they weren't going to let a little rain ruin their day, they threw one of the most fun, exciting and energetic weddings I've been to.Their day started with a lot of anticipation at the Harborside Sheraton in Portsmouth. After they finished with all their wedding preparations, Ali and Evan choose to have a “first look” and spent some very beautiful moments together.For the ceremony, their traditional Jewish chuppah was adorned with bright and colorful flower arrangements. Under this beautiful canopy they exchanged the vows they wrote. Their joy, love and emotion was felt in every part of the room.Betsy Scott, from the Flower Kiosk provided elegant flower arrangements and bouquets for the day, and Laurie Mantegari, Ali and Evan's wedding coordinator did a phenomenal job styling final details and making sure the day went along smoothly.It's always such a pleasure to be part of such a special and fun wedding celebration. It reminds me why I love my job so much!

 

This is one of the first portraits I took of Ali when I met with her at the Sheraton in Portsmouth. It's very easy to see the level of excitement in her face, she's absolutely glowing and beautiful.
