Epic. One word to describe June 20, 2009! I met with Molly and her mother, Alice a year ago when she was visiting from her home in California. As natives of Massachusetts along with her fiancé Ken, they were married in true New England form in Molly's home town of Wellesley. The day was a little different; I had already had Elena Gormley on the books to help assist me, then after a run-in with a baseball bat, Doug Levy (professional baseball umpire / photographer) also joined us. Seizing the opportunity to work a different angle, I sent Doug straight into Boston to meet with Ken who was getting ready at the Liberty Hotel. He picked up the bus with them as they rode over to Wellesley, which made for some cool sequencing of images for the slideshow (I had synced all our cameras up to the second in Apple Aperture), to allow Molly and Ken to see what each other was doing before the ceremony.

A packed church witnessed the two tie the knot, with ever darkening skies outside. A few tears and cheers later and we were all on our way to Post Office square for the group photos. My light meter was going all over the place as dark clouds flew over the skyscrapers. Quite how it didn't rain, I don't know, but our luck held out as I ordered the bridal party to go forth and drink as Molly, Ken, Doug, Elena and I bundled into the Limo for a quick jaunt around the cobbled streets of Beacon hill. The residents looked on as we took over a private street and shot away at the new Mr and Mrs Martin.

Back at the Boston College Club (wow, what view!) we still had plenty of time for them to enjoy some cocktails with their friends.

After a hilarious speech session, dinner, dancing and drinking proceeding full swing.

Thanks to Doug and Elena for their help and to Molly and Ken for being great sports and allowing me to do my part for them. Best of luck to them as they move from CA to DC! I'm sure your mothers will be much happier with that location!
