There’s something truly special about weddings that feel like home—where the focus is love, family, and every moment feels meaningful. Andrea & Brett’s stunning black-tie celebration at Lakeview Pavilion was just that. With soft pastel tones, heartfelt speeches that moved everyone (yes, I cried), and their sweet golden retriever Charlie making a star appearance, this day was overflowing with joy, beauty, and emotion.

Getting Ready at Patriot Place

The day began with Andrea and her bridesmaids getting ready at Patriot Place—a perfect spot with plenty of space and beautiful natural light. Andrea looked absolutely radiant in her Pnina Tornai gown, while her bridesmaids wore a soft mix of Shona Joy and JJ House dresses in delicate pastel hues.

Her bridal look was brought to life by the talented Romina on hair and Besa on makeup—an effortlessly elegant combo that perfectly matched the overall tone of the day.

A Classic Ceremony Full of Heart

Andrea & Brett were married at Saint John the Evangelist Church—a beautiful church filled with light, emotion, and personal touches. From the moment Andrea walked down the aisle, there wasn’t a dry eye in sight.

Their ceremony was family-focused, deeply heartfelt, and incredibly moving—the kind of love you feel in the room. Even before heading to the reception, we could already feel how meaningful every part of the day was going to be.

Gorgeous sunlit portraits followed the church ceremony.

Reception at Lakeview Pavilion

When guests arrived at Lakeview Pavilion, they were greeted by a soft pastel palette, romantic lighting, and floral arrangements by Homegrown Blooms that completely transformed the space. The blend of soft blush, lavender, and pale peach tones was classic, elegant, and refreshingly modern.

Every detail was thoughtfully designed—from the table settings to the escort cards—and yet nothing felt overdone. It was elegance with ease, and Lakeview Pavilion’s team ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

A Family-Centered Celebration (With a Special Guest!)

What truly stood out about this wedding wasn’t just the stunning decor or the elegant black-tie attire—it was the deep sense of family and love surrounding Andrea & Brett. The reception was filled with emotional moments, especially during the speeches. Let me just say: the toasts had me wiping away tears behind my camera lens. You could feel the pride, the love, and the joy in every word spoken.

And we can’t forget Charlie—their golden retriever—who stole everyone’s hearts. Whether posing for portraits or happily greeting guests, he added such a sweet and personal touch to the day.

Dancing Into the Night

The celebration didn’t stop at dinner. George Confoey brought the energy to the dance floor, and from the first dance to the final song, the room was full of movement, joy, and celebration.

Whether it was emotional first dances, spontaneous dance-offs, or guests belting out lyrics together, this was one of those receptions you never wanted to end.
