Groveland Fairways Wedding – Groveland, MA – Katelyn & Jeff

Katelyn and Jeff were one of my first few new clients when I joined 617 Weddings.  We had our initial consult over the phone when they booked, but they also requested an engagement session, which we had at the beautiful beach on Plum Island.  It was my first time there!  One great perk about this job is the travel and seeing lots of new places!  I do enjoy engagement sessions since the couple and I get to know each other a bit, and they can get used to being in front of the camera prior to the big day.  Aside from having great photos to use for all of your wedding things, that’s definitely the biggest upside to having one.  It’s great to chat with a couple and get to know their story a bit.  Katelyn & Jeff were high school sweethearts who waited until after college and getting their Masters Degrees to tie the knot.  Needless to say, both families were very excited for the big day to finally arrive!

Anyway!  Last September became this June very quickly and I was excited to have my first wedding at one of our preferred venues, Groveland Fairways in Groveland, MA.  I’d heard a lot of great things about the venue, and Liz, the coordinator.  It’s a quaint little venue with a function/dinner area, patio, indoor and outdoor ceremony space, and its beautifully landscaped outside with lots of little spots for great photos.  What more can you ask for?  Oh, and you cant forget the baby goat you can hear bleating from behind the outdoor ceremony area 🙂  We had an awesome day that couldn’t have gone more smoothly.  It was slightly overcast all day, which is a photographers dream for lighting.  They did a first look, and we were actually able to do all of their bridal party and most of the family pictures prior to the ceremony, which is a huge time saver, especially if you want to join your cocktail hour for a little while.  We did a few more family and wedding party pictures after, then did their bridal pictures, and they were able to join the last half of cocktail hour.  After that, the party started and they danced the night away!
