Hosting an open-air outdoor event in New England is always a gamble, but this rehearsal dinner at The Wauwinet on Nantucket landed a 10/10 for weather. Beachside under the open sky, complete with a lobster bake, s’mores by the fire, and a relaxed cocktail hour to kick things off. The next day, they managed to squeeze in a beautiful outdoor ceremony just before the skies opened up – perfect timing for a cozy cocktail hour inside Toppers, followed by a tented reception.

Photographer Lev Kupperman made the couple feel completely at ease during their portraits, which always helps us capture those authentic, candid moments on video (thank you, Lev!). The stunning design and planning were done by Handy & Dallaire Events, with florals by Flowers on Chestnut.
