Chris & Mariamne’s wedding at Smith Barn at Brooksby Farm
On the last Saturday in August, I photographed Chris and Mariamne’s wedding at the Smith Barn at Brooksby Farm in Peabody, Massachusetts. This is another one of those hidden North Shore gems that surprises the visitor with its rural setting in the middle of busy suburbs. In that regard, it reminds me of another north shore wedding venue- Moraine Farm in Beverly, MA. However, Moraine Farm has more of an estate feel and only has space for tent weddings. The Smith Barn has a nice rustic feel and there are multiple buildings, fences, lawns and an orchard to round out the possibilities for portrait photography choices. We took advantage of them all!
Rene and Jeff’s wedding at the Danversport Yacht Club
I photographed Rene and Jeff’s wedding at the Danversport Yacht Club in Danvers, MA May 30, 2009. Can’t beat north shore weddings in the Boston area in late May before the heat sets in! Turns out Jeff is a pretty good singer-he belted out Aerosmith’s “What it Takes” and got the crowd of guests whipped into a frenzy.
