Ashlee and Brian's wedding day was the perfect blend of industrial charm and traditional elegance. Their beautiful church ceremony took place in the afternoon at the historical Basilica of St. Stanislaus surrounded by their lovely family and friends. Afterwards, their reception kicked off at Mill 1 at Open Square. Located in the heart of Holyoke, Massachusetts, this historic venue—once a 19th-century paper mill provided the perfect backdrop for their fun filled reception. It was a typical April day in New England, beautiful, but threatening rain so we opted to take more of the formal photos inside. Mill 1 provided the perfect space for this with its rich textures, brick walls, and high ceilings. 

Ashlee has been a client of mine for years and I knew how much thought and planning went into this special day. Every time I would see her, the excitement would build. Having a love for magic and romance, Ashlee and Brian incorporated this feeling into every aspect of their wedding including their summer engagement session surrounded by flowers at Grandmother's Garden in Westfield. 

I'm so proud to have been a part of this beautiful wedding day. What a magical way to kick off the 2025 wedding season!!
