Essex River Cruises and Charters Tidal Island Wedding in Essex, Massachusetts- Wedding Photographer

A summer wedding on a tidal island in Essex, MA is a dreamy affair that offers a unique experience for the couple and their guests. The island, surrounded by the picturesque waters of Essex, provides a stunning backdrop for a memorable wedding day.

The wedding celebration began with the guests boarding the Essex River Charters and Cruises, ready for a scenic ride to the island. The boat ride offered stunning views of the coastline, making for perfect photo opportunities. The guests were excited to arrive at the island and experience the unique setting for the wedding.

The bride and groom were radiant in the sunlight, their love for each other shining through in every photo. The couple's golden retriever, the "best boy" of the night, was a star of the show, posing happily for photos with his proud owners.

The wedding ceremony took place on the island, with the sea breeze adding to the romantic atmosphere. The couple exchanged vows, surrounded by their closest friends and family, with the sound of the waves providing the perfect background music.

After the ceremony, the guests were treated to a delicious lobster bake, a quintessential New England experience. The food was served on long tables set up on the beach, offering an intimate and relaxed atmosphere for the guests to enjoy.

As the sun began to set, the guests danced under the starry sky, celebrating the couple's love and commitment. The final boat ride back to the dock offered a stunning view of the island at night, providing a perfect end to a magical day.

As a wedding photographer, I am honored to capture the special moments of a couple's big day. This summer wedding on a tidal island in Essex, MA was a particularly unique and memorable experience, filled with love, laughter, and lots of lobster!

Frank and Heather's Essex MA Beach Wedding

When Heather first contacted me to capture her beach wedding, she warned me that her and Frank were "not serious people," followed by an anecdote of a time that Frank was attacked by the cat because he had playfully placed a feather bandanna on his head.  

True to her word, Heather and Frank's beach wedding could only be described as playful, laid-back, and perfectly nautical. Heather's vision of her wedding day had me hooked at "beach", but when she mentioned "tidal island", "clam-bake", and arriving to the island in a canoe, I was swooning.  

Heather owns a nautically themed baby apparel boutique called My SeaBaby in downtown Rockport (visit her website), and her designs are precious.  Her sense of style was perfectly reflected in all the small touches she carefully planned for her wedding day.  

Enjoy some of the moments I captured on that day.  Don't forget to leave your comments in the section below! I'd love to hear from you!
