Andi & Rich – New Bedford Whaling Museum Wedding – July 2015

When Andi & Rich booked with me, I’d never heard of the New Bedford Whaling Museum, and I was surprised to find out it was also used as a wedding venue!  Many of my co-workers told me what a unique and fun venue it was, but none of their words did it any justice.  As soon as I walked in I was even more excited to shoot their wedding.  The ceremony was held outside the museum on the patio on a bright and sunny July day.  Surrounding the museum are beautiful cobblestone streets with lots of pretty spots for pictures, and popular landmarks that relate to Moby Dick, which is fitting since they are both teachers.  After the ceremony, we took a lot of amazing and fun shots outside, and then headed in to start the party.  Inside there are actual whale skeletons hanging from the ceiling in the main room.  The bride and groom get a sweetheart table up on top of the staircase so they can enjoy their dinner while watching their guests.

After dinner, the dancing began and never stopped.  617 Weddings DJ Chris Paul kept the party going all night long.  I even managed to get the couple outside for a few fun night shots.  It was a great night, and I can’t wait to shoot at the New Bedford Whaling museum again soon!
