I first met Angela and Ken back in at the start of the year at the Deluxe Town Diner for lunch. We quickly hit it off as we went through my work and their wedding day quickly swung around in mid September.

After getting stuck behind a semi taking out a truck 20 yards from the Harvard club, I raced up to meet Angela in her room upstairs. I was fearing the worst in the old building for a dark cavern for her prep, but she was actually blessed with some great natural light as her room(s) straddled both sides of the building.

Now let me preface the rest of this post with saying that I was genuinely surprised how many details and goings on one could have at a wedding and still get to savour every last drop and not totally freak out! Mission successful Angela! I say this because as I walked in the door I was a little taken aback that plans and details were still in flux and Angela was a little stressed. However, her bridesmaids rallied and helped Angela splendidly as the whirlwind ensued.

... Meanwhile on Tremont St, Doug was covering Ken and his friends getting ready just opposite the Mission Church where they were to be married. A couple of texts confirmed that a) they were having a good time b) there were some interesting paintings c) some rules were being broken :) ...

Back at the Harvard Club, Angela had been hooked into her gorgeous dress and we headed out for some photos in front of the club before heading over to the church the other side of town. Let's just say that the Mission church is on the big side. Cathedral would be a better way of describing its size. Plus pretty dark. VERY dark; except at the front where it was VERY bright. So quite challenging with light, but made for some cool silhouettes.

After the ceremony we headed onto the trolley, made an impromptu stop at an awesome pub where all their friends were waiting for a quick shot of the alcoholic kind (I have been sworn to secrecy about its name), before speeding off to the public gardens for their group photos and then back to the Harvard Club. Yes it really did happen as quickly as your read it!

Back at the club the festivities began and some classic speeches were unleashed upon the newlyweds. We quickly sneaked them both out for some photos around the streets of Back Bay and managed to find a street that looked down towards the Citgo sign (that's a classic Boston landmark to all my international readers; not an eyesore!) as the sun was setting. Back at the club Angela and Ken incredibly managed to speak with everyone of their guests, had a few drinks, danced, danced, danced and lapped up every last drop of their evening. They were ecstatic by the end of the night and wanted to take us out drinking with them, but alas for Doug he had yet another wedding (3 in a row!) the following day and after shooting two in a row myself I was actually a little glad to be driving him back, but sadly we missed out.

Someone needs to give me the photos for the rest of the night!
