Joyelle West Photography is a Boston wedding photographer who brings a modern and artistic flair to Boston wedding photography. She is frequently commissioned as a Massachusetts wedding photographer but is available to photograph weddings through New England and beyond.

This is the second wedding that I’ve photographed now for the Farber family and I loved seeing them again. Amy, Shira’s mother, did an incredible job at coordinating everything, and the day was gorgeous. And without a doubt, this family has some of the best horahs (chair dances) that I’ve ever seen.

Lynn & Chris were married on a late fall day at the Museum of Science. The remaining leaves and tree branches on the Charles were simply lovely. The ceremony was after sunset and therefore was dark and dramatic, with gorgeous lights and reflections in the Skyline Room at the MOS. The cocktail hour was interspersed between science exhibits, and the reception was science-themed with bold fall colors.

While Liz and Alex’s city wedding in Boston at The Taj was lovely and elegant, their reception was all about the music. Being a musician himself, Alex knew exactly what he wanted for his wedding: for his favorite band The Slackers to perform. As fate would have it, their international tour schedule had them in the area. Their combination of ska, reggae, and rock kept the party going actually long past it was supposed to, and the guests wildly entertained.
The band’s playlist for the evening, on the right:

Kristie was in New York, Simon was in France. They met in Paris, fell in love, and now are sharing their life together in Brooklyn. But in between they had a fabulous half-American, half-French wedding at The Castle at BU.
Just before we left the hotel, the sky decided to open. Luckily, Kristie had a super cute rainbow umbrella with her.
The ceremony was held on the staircase at The Castle. Kristie and Simon picked The Castle because it reminded Simon of France.
The sun reappeared just before the ceremony, which created some beautiful back and side lighting.
Because half of the guests were French and half were American, everything during the ceremony was conducted first in English, then in French, by a bilingual Justice of the Peace.
In keeping with the “castle” theme, the seating cards were nametags attached to skeleton keys and ribbon.
Sayles Livingston did a gorgeous job with all of the flowers, using Kristie’s white-on-white theme. There were also vintage glasses and candles everywhere.
Their favors were flash cards that taught the guests French or English. A novel idea to spark conversation between the two families.
