Eliza & PJ's Summer Wedding at Tupper Manor in Beverly, MA

Jul 11

Eliza and PJ’s summer wedding at Tupper Manor in Beverly, MA, was a day filled with love, laughter, and beautiful memories.

The day began in the cozy confines of Eliza’s childhood home. The girls were a delightful sight, dressed in adorable gifted pajama sets with hydrangea patterns. As they prepared for the day, the atmosphere was filled with music and fun, setting a joyful tone for the celebrations ahead.

Meanwhile, the guys got ready at Tupper Manor, bringing their own energy and excitement to the day. They soon headed to the family church in Marblehead, where the ceremony would take place.

The church ceremony was a touching event, steeped in family tradition and love. As Eliza and PJ emerged as newlyweds, they were greeted with a shower of rose petal confetti, adding a magical touch to their first moments as husband and wife. The celebration continued in the church garden with some family portraits, capturing the joy and togetherness of the occasion.

Next, we all hopped on a trolley and made our way to a nearby lighthouse for a quick photo session. However, our time there was cut short by Mother Nature, reminding us of the unpredictable charm of summer weather.

We then returned to Tupper Manor, where the rain graciously paused for us. This allowed us to take many fun portraits with the wedding party and intimate shots of just Eliza and PJ. The manor's stunning grounds provided the perfect backdrop for these cherished memories.

A delightful trend we’re seeing more of is couples attending cocktail hour with their guests, rather than spending that time on photos. Eliza and PJ meticulously planned their day to ensure they could join their guests during this relaxed and joyful part of the evening.

The details inside Tupper Manor were breathtaking, with hues of blue and white, hydrangeas, and baby's breath adorning the venue. Eliza and her mother had thoughtfully put together the signage, adding a personal and creative touch. It was heartwarming to see their engagement photos from our shoot in Gloucester displayed throughout the venue.

The reception was an absolute blast. Eliza surprised PJ with a dress change, adding a fun and memorable twist to the evening. The night was filled with dancing, laughter, and celebration. As the night drew to a close, the couple made their grand exit in a getaway car, sent off with love by their family and friends.

Eliza and PJ’s wedding day was a beautiful testament to their love and the strong bonds of family and friendship that surround them. It was an honor to capture these moments and be a part of their special day.
