State Room Boston | High-End Bride - Breakfast Workshop

Marketing to the High-End Bride is produced by Arlene Cronk, owner of Invitations & Company, a social stationery boutique in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood since 1991.  Held each spring and fall, the Marketing to the High-End Bride event is designed exclusively for upscale wedding professionals looking to reach their business goals in the most highly-competitive segment of the market.  The event format — a breakfast and panel discussion held every six months at a luxury Boston venue — is an alternative to the more structured forums of the typical professional association.  As such, it is designed specifically in both format and content to fit the intense work style and sophisticated informational needs of the high-end professional.  March 2011 marks the 11th Marketing to the High-End Bride. - www.weddingprof.com

We were thrilled that Arlene asked Person + Killian Photography to be the photography sponsor of this fantastic event. Over 170 wedding and event professionals came out Thursday morning to Boston's State Room. After an hour of networking in the Harborside Room, everyone entered the Great Room for a panel discussion on celebrity weddings. The panel included 5 experts including planner Kate Parker and Gary Sloper from the Boston Harbor Hotel. The decor was designed by Heather Minicucci of Simply Inviting Weddings with fantastic yellow spring floral designs by Tangerine Creations and gray linens from Rentals Unlimited.

Jessica and Robert Say "I Do!" at the State Room Boston

One of our favorite things about photographing Boston weddings is having the chance to work alongside so many wonderful colleagues.  For Jessica and Rob’s wedding, this was no exception.

The day started at the Omni Parker House where Jessica and her bridesmaids got ready followed by the couple’s first look. Capturing the day on video along side us were the talented ladies of AfterImage Productions. The elegant fall look that the bride wanted came together when the bouquets were hand delivered by the talented Marc Hall of Winston Flowers.

After some formal photographs in the Boston Public Garden, it was off to the State Room for the ceremony and reception. Both the Harborside Room and the Great Room were elegantly decorated with the perfect fall décor that wowed the guests as they arrived.

Below are just a handful of our favorite images from the day. Congratulations Jessica and Rob and thank you for including Person + Killian Photography as part of your wedding day dream team!

Ashley + Scott's Fall Wedding | Langham Boston and State Room Boston

“A combination of Art Deco and elegant…” This was how Ashley, one of our recent brides, described the inspiration for her wedding in downtown Boston.

After getting ready at the Langham Hotel, we went to Post Office Square, where we were able to get some beautiful images of the couple. This was a perfect backdrop for the couple's first look.

From there, we went to Boston’s Long Wharf. Not only does the wharf have a great history, it also provided a us with a multitute of perfect locations for some classic Boston waterfront and cityscape photographs. We love the energy and playfulness that Ashley and Scott brought to their images.

Their beatiful Jewish wedding ceremony (followed by cocktail hour and reception) were held in the Harborside Salon at the State Room. The room itself is beautiful, but it also provides a view that is absolutely stunning.

Congratulations, Ashley and Scott, and thank you for selecting Person + Killian to photograph your beautiful Boston wedding. You were a wonderful couple to work with, and we wish you the best!

Getting Ready Location: The Langham Hotel, Boston; Ceremony Venue: The State Room; Reception Venue: The State Room; Hair: Revive Hair Salon; Makeup: Luiz Filho; Dress: Enzoani; Flowers: Mugford’s Flowers; Entertainment: Andrew Sussman.
