A Wedding right on the altantic ocean
Alex and Rafael’s choose to hold their wedding day at the picturesque Eastern Point Yacht Club. Tucked away on Boston’s North Shore in the beautiful town of Gloucester, this venue was the perfect combination of their love story—elegant, timeless, and deeply connected to nature’s beauty. Surrounded by the Gloucester Harbor on one side and the Eastern Point Lighthouse on the other, the couple exchanged their vows with the Atlantic Ocean as their witness. The historic manor house and sweeping ocean views created an atmosphere that was both intimate and breathtaking, setting the stage for a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.



Getting ready at the club house
The day began with a sense of quiet excitement as Alex prepared for the wedding in the elegant clubhouse of the Eastern Point Yacht Club. The beautifully designed lobby, with its warm wood accents and hints of maritime New England heritage, provided the perfect backdrop for capturing the delicate bridal details. Alex’s dress, gracefully displayed in the light-filled space, seemed to embody the timeless charm of the venue. From the intricate lacework of the gown to the carefully chosen jewelry and accessories, every element was photographed against the club’s rich textures, creating images that radiated sophistication and sentimentality. It was the perfect start to a day that promised to be as stunning as it was meaningful.




An intimate first look in the garden
Once the bride and groom had completed getting ready, it was fine for a dramatic and exciting moment, the first look. Just north of the clubhouse, a secluded wooded garden was chosen for this intimate encounter. Nestled atop a small bluff overlooking the ocean, the garden offered both privacy and a sense of wonder, with the gentle presence of the sea filtering through the trees. As Rafael turned to see Alex for the first time in her wedding dress, the world seemed to pause, the serenity of the surroundings amplifying the beauty and emotion of the moment. It was a breathtaking start to their day together, made even more unforgettable by the peaceful embrace of nature and the endless ocean views.












A ceremony in front of gloucester harbor
The ceremony was nothing short of breathtaking, set against the stunning backdrop of Gloucester Habor. Alex and Rafael exchanged vows on the club’s manicured lawn, where the horizon seemed to stretch endlessly, mirroring the depth of their love. Guests were seated with the gentle ocean breeze and the sound of waves creating a serene, almost otherworldly ambiance. The couple stood beneath a simple yet elegant arch adorned with fresh flowers, its design perfectly complementing the natural beauty of the surroundings. As they promised forever to one another, the moment was filled with an overwhelming sense of joy, love, and connection, shared not only between Alex and Rafael but with every guest who witnessed their union. It was a ceremony as timeless and beautiful as the love it celebrated.













A cruise around Gloucestor harbor
After the ceremony and first kiss, Alex and Rafael boarded on a small motorboat for a truly unique and exhilarating portrait session on Gloucester Bay. The weather added an unexpected touch of drama to the experience, with dark clouds rolling across the sky and waves crashing against the boat. The lively chop of the water and the spray of the sea created an energy that was both wild and romantic, perfectly matching the couple’s adventurous spirit. As the boat bobbed and swayed, Alex and Rafael held each other close, their laughter and love shining through the dramatic backdrop. The resulting portraits were nothing short of breathtaking—vibrant, emotional, and expressive of their deep connection. It was an unforgettable adventure that captured the essence of their love story in a way that was as bold and beautiful as the day itself.





A reception with a lot of dancing
Alex and Rafael’s love for dance was evident throughout their wedding day, and their first dance as husband and wife was nothing short of extraordinary. I’ve witnessed countless first dances, but theirs was truly one-of-a-kind, brimming with love, rhythm, and pure joy. The way they moved together was a perfect reflection of their connection—effortless, heartfelt, and full of life. The magic didn’t stop there; the parents’ dances were equally touching, with moments that brought tears to many eyes. As the evening unfolded, the dance floor became the heart of the celebration, alive with energy and emotion. Every guest joined in the fun, creating a night filled with music, movement, and unforgettable memories. It was a celebration of love in its truest, most joyful form, and the perfect ending to an incredible day.














A couple who loved to dance
The dance floor at the wedding reception was pure magic, thanks to a couple who clearly loved to dance and guests who matched their energy step for step. The night kicked off with a spirited version of the traditional Jewish Hora dance, which had every single guest on their feet, laughing, cheering, and spinning in unison. From there, the DJ Luis Medina kept the party alive with an incredible mix of dance, rock, and traditional music that left no one standing still. The energy was unstoppable as the couple made sure to dance with everyone, sharing hugs, twirls, and joy across the room. It was a celebration of love, movement, and connection, and the DJ's flawless transitions kept the crowd buzzing until the very last song.
