There is nothing like a big Italian wedding!! With a gorgeous bride, gregarious groom and so much love “Italian style” …

I have lived in Italy and it is truly one of my favorite places, the food, the wine, the crazy Italian way of enjoying life!! I love it!

We begin this story in the north end of Boston …

Had an amazing meal in the West Village – Sant Ambroeus …. unforgettable and well worth the wait!!

We had a great shoot with Grace and Tracy at WEDDING STYLE  Magazine … can’t show any pics yet as they need to first be seen in the magazine.

I have known Grace as a dear friend and colleague for more than 15 years … wow!! I remember our first shoots as a  young photographer … Grace was so generous with her guidance and direction … and still is to this day!!

Grace has been pushing the limits and continues to set the standard for what is new and great within the wedding world. I love her fearless fiery nature and deep rooted loyalty.

This has been an insanely busy time for us here at MBV Inc. Shoot upon shoot upon shoot … while still making time to just be still and rest in the sunshine (or rain) with a good cup of coffee.

One of my favorite friends to work with within this wedding world,  is Joyce(ie) and the amazing crew at Stone Blossom.

There is always an inspired (and relaxed) vibe in the air when they are all at work creating … John Orton created a breathtaking entrance that blew everyone away!!

Rosecliff was transformed with poetry and whimsy …

So much of the ambiance was due to the lighting artistry of Tony Ormonde.

Food was provided by Russell Morin – they did an amazing job as well.

Amy and Anthony had a blast as Anne David and Nicky Reinhard took care of every detail and allowed the couple to just enjoy.
