Dan & Bekah married on Sunday, July 19th at Saint Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, MA.  I believe this was the first marriage ever performed at the Abbey, as it has been home to a community of devout Trappist monks since 1950. 

“One of my favorite moments was the five minutes of alone time we had – just the two of us – immediately following the ceremony.  This allowed us time to simply enjoy the fact that we were now married.  It also allowed Julia to capture the most touching moment of the entire day, complete with tears and laughter.”  – Bekah

Not surprisingly, this was one of my favorite moments as well. 

“The thing I enjoyed most about looking through Julia’s photographs was the chance to be reminded of all the things that had happened that day.  I smiled, laughed, and cried throughout the viewing process.  Most importantly, I found myself saying, “Oh, that’s right, I forgot that had happened!”  I am grateful to have all of the special moments captured in such a beautiful way. ” – Bekah 

I loved exploring Saint Joseph’s Abbey with Dan & Bekah, as well documenting all the emotional, funny and beautiful moments of the day! Best wishes to these lovebirds.
