The landlord’s daughter… Dorchester love story and backyard wedding

S + P’s love story began

when he moved into her mom’s rental property in the famed Boston neighborhood. She lived a floor away, they met, sparks flew… as it goes, he fell in love with the landlord’s daughter…

Years later, they had their First Look outside the very same apartment door he walked into (and moved into) and changed his life and love forever. We took their photos on the same street corner where they had their first kiss (below!)

Oh, I am a sucker for sweet sentimentality.

After a heartfelt first look outside the couple’s apartment, we wandered a few streets over to the sweetest backyard ceremony at the bride’s best friend’s home around the block in Dorchester.

The bride’s parents were also married at her mom’s best friends home in Dorchester. * queue sentimental happy tears *

After a relaxed cocktail hour, some champagne bottles popped and lots of hugs, the evening moved into a cozy string-light-lit dinner at a long communal table, with family-style take-out from a local favorite restaurant.

Speeches, more happy tears, and dancing closed out the evening, along with a cake made by the groom’s parents that included their cake topper from their wedding back in the day - did I mention how thoughtful and sentimental this entire experience was? Sweetness surrounds these two.

Most certainly a night to remember.

We adore you, S + P!
