SPRINGTIME IN CHESTNUT HILL

First Church - Newton, MA

ABOUT THE DAY

Set in the heart of Boston, Susan & Sean’s wedding was an intimate and heartfelt celebration filled with timeless moments and quiet elegance.

Susan and Sean’s wedding day in Boston was an intimate and heartfelt celebration, beginning with quiet moments at the historic XV Beacon Hotel before moving to the beautiful First Church in Chestnut Hill.

As guests gathered inside the church’s warm, wood-lined sanctuary, Susan was walked down the aisle by her brother, creating an emotional and meaningful start to the ceremony. Surrounded by family and close friends, the couple exchanged vows beneath the church’s stained glass windows in a timeless and classic setting.

Following the ceremony, family portraits and couple photos took place on the church grounds before the celebration continued with an intimate dinner reception at Ruth’s Chris Steak House. The evening unfolded with cocktails, cake cutting, and a relaxed dinner shared with their closest loved ones.
