A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Emily & Chuck’s Theatrical Love
Of course I adore the relationships I’ve built up with all of the wonderful photographers who submit their gorgeous work to me, but I can’t tell you how giddy I get when I receive an email directly from the bride or groom. Emily shares: I’ve loved searching through your blog during the wedding planning process for inspiration for a great Rock and Roll wedding. I wanted to submit our wedding to your blog! We got married at the Wang Theatre in Boston, our favorite local music venue where my husband and I have seen some great shows together (some including Foo Fighters, Tori Amos, Death Cab for Cutie, CAKE and Atoms of Peace).
