Jamie & Brian | Wedding at Granite Links, Quincy

2016 has arrived and I had the pleasure of kicking off the season with a family that I just worked with last year! Jamie and Brian were married on May 7th at Granite Links Country Club in Quincy, MA, after a long week of some terrible wet weather:(  We were so lucky that we actually ended up with the best day of the week! Although it was a bit brisk and foggy, the rain held off at the times that we wanted it to and we had a fabulous day:)

When I arrived to the Quincy Marriott, where everyone was getting ready, I checked in with Jamie and photographed her details…granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12053The collar stays on the right, were a gift from Jamie to her father…I became covered in goosebumps as Jamie’s mother told me about them…they are engraved with her grandmother’s handwriting…such a thoughtful keepsake.granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12052granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12054After just a bit, I popped up to the guys room to check in and catch Brian getting ready. granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12055 granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12056 granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12057 granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12058 granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12059 While Brian was getting dressed, Jamie was finishing up  in the make-up chair!granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12060 When it was time to get Jamie’s dress on, we scooted to a quieter room with a little less action.  Jamie’s father was her dress expert…I believe he may be my first father to be the dress expert and he was excellent at his job:)!granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12061granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12063 granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12064 granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12065 A couple last minute touch-ups…granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12066 and a little help from mom:) granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12067 Three generations of ladies and such a fabulous family!granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12068 We met Brian on the Marriott grounds for a first look and the weather cooperated:) granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12069 granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12070 We spent just a couple minutes in the courtyard doing just a few pictures before meeting everyone on the bus for the ride over to Granite Links!granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12071 granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12072 granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12073 When we arrived to Granite Links, we squeezed in some bridal party photos and a few of Jamie and Brian before heading indoors…it was a bit chilly – especially for the girls:)granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12074granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12076granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12078granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12084granite-links-wedding-ma-wedding-photographer-boston-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography12082I first met Jamie and Brian at her brother and now sister-inlaw’s wedding at the end of last summer.
