Christina and Darrell!

By leahlar

Christina and Darrell got married on September 13th. We started off at the Park Plaza where Christina was getting ready:

I don’t usually like to stop brides for photos, but I couldn’t resist the combination of Christina’s gorgeousness and the wallpaper in the hotel’s hallway.

Christina and her mother waiting in the hotel’s lobby for their ride to the ceremony.

Christina’s niece and nephew were the flower girl and ring bearer, and waited patiently outside the Greek Orthodox church in Cambridge for Christina to arrive from the hotel.

Once Christina arrived, she had to wait a bit for Darrell to be located!

These are two of my favorites from the ceremony:

After the ceremony, Christina and Darrell took a moment to sit down and relax.

I discovered this cool classroom at the church during my visit to the site the week before the wedding, and somehow coerced Christina and Darrell into taking photos there after the ceremony.

I don’t know if Christina was exhausted after the ceremony or was ready for a game of seven up! “Heads down, thumbs up!”

“Do you like like me?”

After we finished in the classroom, we left the church and rice was thrown.

We then met in the Public Gardens to go on a photo excursion before the reception!

I love this shot of Darrell helping Christina bustle her dress:

We also took some photos with the wedding party in the Public Gardens.

Darrell is awesome in the jumping shot on the right:

I didn’t pose Christina this way – she was laying on the stairs as she waited to be announced into the reception at The Park Plaza.

As with the rehearsal dinner, we had to improvise the group shots. We were originally scheduled to take them in the Public Gardens, but because things were running late we had to find a cool place to do them during the reception without being too obtrusive. Luckily the reception room had a giant balcony, and we were able to set up our set there. In the end, I am happy that we took the photos inside because I think the color of the red and yellow curtains is fabulous!

Here is a shot of Christina’s family trying to assemble for their portrait:

This guy was pretending to fall off the balcony while taking a photo, which is how I actually felt the whole time!

Christina and Darrell with Mike Viola, the musician at their wedding. I am now a huge fan. Go see him perform – he’s amazing.

Here are a few of my favorites from the reception:

Greek dancing!

Thank you Christina and Darrell for having a totally awesome wedding!

I had a great time sharing your day with you, and special thanks for humoring me and letting me take your photos in the classroom. I really love the photos, and I hope that you will too!
