Francesca & Bob – Charter Oak Country Club, Hudson MA

Francesca & Bob were married on February 1, 2008. I’ve always heard that if it rains on your wedding day, it is good luck! Well…Francesca & Bob had buckets of good luck! There was this overwhelming presence of spirit and happiness that increased with every drop of rain!

There are always moments at every wedding, when I feel so fortunate to do what I do…to document love. From the moment I arrived at Francesca’s parents’ house, to photograph the first chapter of the day, her Mom and Dad were just as concerned about feeding me and my assistant, as they were about getting ready themselves! It felt like we were part of the family. The house was filled with so much activity but, it unfolded brilliantly! It was not surprising since Francesca  is a professional organizer who works with people in their homes and businesses to reduce clutter and build systems for better efficiency. She is amazing!

So, it was off to Saint Anslem’s Church, in Sudbury, for a beautifully lit and graceful wedding. Francesca’s grandfather, who is a Deacon in the Catholic church, presided over the wedding, which made it so special. From there, we left for the Charter Oak Country Club in Hudson, MA., The Grand Ballroom with its’ wonderful chandeliers, beautiful French doors and floor to ceiling windows was charming yet had such a comfortable feeling. The “First Dance”…what can I say….it was out of this world! Francesca and Bob were graceful and romantic all at once! The guests were mezmorized! The rest of the evening was all about the good food and superb music. The dance floor was always full, because the band was soooo good! “Double Vision” is the name of the band, and Francesca told me that Steve Ciccolini was a dream to work with! www.cherylevine.com.
