I'll admit, I've observed some over-the-top luxury at some of the weddings that I've photographed-- and wondered "Am I FABULOUS enough to mingle at this wedding?"  But I've never wondered if I was CREATIVE enough for the crowd-- until Trish and Bill's fabulous wedding at The Barn at the Crane Estate, in Ipswich, MA. Trish and Bill are deeply in love, super creative theater folk.  I knew they'd become engaged the moment I met (and photographed) them, at Trish's sister's wedding-- and I hoped to be chosen to capture the Show.

Opening Night came along with some blustery rain- but no matter!  These theatre pros never forget the greatest rule of all:  the show must go on. Other than that?  Rules are only possibilities-- did I mention that the bride wore a matte silver dress?

Here's a window into their day:

Hair and Makeup by Kevin Hadfield.  "He was awesome," said the bride- and I have to agree! Look at this pretty perfection:

Scenic backdrop?  Yes, the Italian Garden at the Crane Estate is spectacular!

This couple marches to their own drum- or DONUT, that is- with apple cider donuts taking the place of a cake.  De-LUMMY!
