Last month, I had the privilege of capturing Anya and Matthew’s rehearsal dinner, set in a stunning beachside home nestled on Wingaersheek Beach in Gloucester.
Although it was just a rehearsal, the evening was full of emotion, love, and anticipation for their wedding day.
The couple’s family stayed at this cozy, private home to celebrate the upcoming nuptials. As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the house, the mood became even more special. One of the highlights of the evening was when family members stood up to say a few words for the couple, sharing heartfelt memories, advice, and hopes for their future together. It was a touching moment that brought tears and smiles to everyone’s faces.
For Matthew’s family, special occasions are all about food.
Cooking and sharing a meal together is how they express love, so it was no surprise that Matthew’s brother took charge in the kitchen.
He prepared an incredible dinner, filled with dishes that perfectly captured the warmth and closeness of the family. Between bites, laughter echoed through the home as everyone enjoyed the flavors and each other’s company, making this celebration even more memorable.
Anya and Matthew are a truly amazing couple. Their love for each other radiates in everything they do, and their families’ support made this rehearsal dinner an unforgettable prelude to their big day. It was an honor to capture such special moments!
