Lisa + Matt | New Years Eve Wedding at Boston Marriott Newton

I met Lisa through my friend Michelle about three years ago, and the three of us grew close while watching tv and stuffing our faces with calzones, or take over the corner table at The Jeanie Johnston Pub in Jamaica Plain for a night of karaoke. In mid- to late-2015, Lisa, Michelle and I were going to a holiday party in Southie and Lisa invited Matt, a guy she had been dating quietly for a few months. That evening was so much fun, and Matt was so kind and easy-going and fit seamlessly into Lisa's life. They quickly moved in together in West Roxbury, and now instead of visiting Lisa and Michelle's apartment, I was visiting Lisa and Matt's new home together.

On Christmas Eve 2016, Matt proposed to Lisa during a quiet night at home and of course Lisa said yes! And just over a year later, on New Years Eve 2017, I arrived at the Boston Marriott Newton in the late afternoon, as Lisa finished with hair and make up, in preparation to see her groom for the first time on their wedding day.

Since it was roughly 2 degrees outside we stayed indoors for some portraits, before Lisa and Matt recited their vows in front of 200 of their closest friends and family. Following a lively cocktail hour, guests entered into a gorgeous and warm ballroom that was decked out in black, gold and holiday lights. I absolutely loved ringing in the new year with Lisa, Matt and all of their friends and family. It was one of my favorite celebrations of the year, with a packed dance floor until well after midnight.

Lisa and Matt, congratulations! It has been so great following your journey from the beginning, and I'm so happy I was able to capture this day for you!
