South Shore Cultural Center Wedding : Marcy and Todd

Marcy and Todd had a lovely summer wedding at the South Shore Cultural Center. With busy schedules, I was able to meet Marcy only once during our initial consultation, and I wasn’t able to meet Todd at all. Luckily for me, they were fantastic to work with, and I was excited to be able to be a part of their wedding day! Since no one comes here to read my writing, so let’s get to the photos!

I started out my day with the girls as they were putting the finishing touches on their hair and makeup.

After she was dressed and ready, we had our first look just outside the building on the grounds of the South Shore Cultural Center.

We spent some time doing portraits and wedding party photos:

Afterwards, we headed back inside for the ketubah signing…

The ceremony was held in the Solarium, which looked lovely.
