Jess + Nate were married on the beach on a gorgeous blue-sky day in April. I was pretty stoked to start off 2018 with these two since Nate had been a longtime friend from my ‘living in Providence’ days and ever since I met Jess after they were dating, I had absolutely loved her too!
The wedding day was surprisingly pretty warm, which was a huge plus since April is always a hit or miss here in New England! The couple chose a nautical beach theme for their day, complete with starfish accents in the bouquets, seashells, and a pirate treasure themed candy table. Jeremy Anaya and Bohemia Salon teamed up on the beauty for the ladies (and did a stunning job!), and the men were looking snazzy in Men’s Warehouse suits. We did a first look on the beach, and Jess was an absolute chaaaamp to keep those glamour heels on while walking through the sand! Literally do not know how she was able to do it and look so natural. We then headed down the street with the wedding party to take photos at the carousel, which was so much fun and also super meaningful to Jess – who grew up as a little girl visiting Hull and fondly remembers spending time there.
These two wrote the most amazing vows – hilarious yet super heartfelt and emotional. I’m pretty sure most people had tears in their eyes when Jess turned to Nate’s son, Jace, and promised him his own set of vows. It was so sweet! The reception was equally as awesome, starting off with a grand football-esque entrance for the bride and groom (Jess is a big time Pat’s fan, while Nate isn’t quite..make sure you check out photos of the wedding cake for a glimpse into that life!), an appearance from Bill Murray, a surprise choreographed dance by Jess and her dad, a killer blue/purple sunset, and a garter dance by Nate that may have been R rated. It was pretty much the perfect day for these two lovebirds!
So…Nate + Jess, just in time (2 months short) for your 1 year anniversary (ha!) – congratulations!! So happy for you both :)
