Stevens-Coolidge Place Wedding
Stevens-Coolidge Place Wedding | North Andover, MA
Kayla and Tommy contacted me about six months prior to their wedding. I found a special place in my heart for these two, as they had recently lost a child. Throughout the planning process and the day of, the bride and groom made their little girl a part of every aspect of their big day. They started with a first look at their hotel. Next, we headed to Stevens-Coolidge Place for portraits. Finally, a heart warming ceremony and reception at the Tewksbury Elks Lodge.
The bride carried a remembrance charm with her daughter’s picture attached to her bouquet.
Ceremony at Tewksbury Elks Lodge
The ceremony space at the Elks Lodge was rustic and quaint. A gazebo sits between a large wooded area and the hall. There was an outdoor bar as well as food stations set up for guests. Kayla and Tommy decorated with photos and flowers. Most importantly, a balloon release was incorporated to celebrate their daughter. Guests wrote messages on the balloons prior to the ceremony.
The couple chose a balloon release in memory of the daughter they had lost months prior to the wedding. The balloons carried messages from friends and family.
Steven-Coolidge Place Wedding Photos
It was a short drive between the ceremony and photo location of Stevens-Coolidge Place. The director at the park was amazing. She walked me through all the best photo locations as soon as I arrived! With summer in full swing, all the flowers were blooming. Dressed in black, the wedding party handled the heat wonderfully. No complaints – even from the guys!
The Bride and Groom walked the winding paths through the Stevens-Coolidge Place for beautifully natural wedding photos.
Blush and Gold Wedding Reception
The ballroom at the Tewksbury Elks was HUGE! There was more than enough room for everyone as well as a great dance floor. Bridesmaids and Groomsmen had a blast entering the reception dressed in T-Rex costumes!
