What an amazing couple, and a fantastic day for a wedding at Gore Place! I also had never been to the Gore Place Estate before, and it was definitely a treat. Cori and Max decided to do a First Look, allowing them to enjoy their cocktail hour, as well as do their photos in a more laid-back atmosphere before the guests arrived. We were able to walk around and find some beautiful spots at Gore Place.

Ceremony & Reception: Gore Place, Waltham, Massachusetts

There are also lots of great spots inside Gore Place for photos - this one with the backlighting is a favorite.

How gorgeous are they? So glad we found some more fun spots around Gore Place for wedding photos! I love this garden.

Cori changed into her mother's wedding dress for the cocktail hour, a nice way to incorporate a family tradition.

A lovely Ketubah signing ceremony...

Just loving this pathway down to the ceremony, with the grand estate of Gore Place in the background. So dramatic!

I love so many parts of the Jewish wedding ceremony, but one of my favorites is the Chuppah, with the couple’s closest friends holding each corner of the Chuppah in place (and they carry it up for the processional), and each set of parents is also there to be close to the couple during the ceremony. It’s nice to have everyone who is closest to you so involved!

Thank you Cori and Max for allowing me to be a part of your amazing wedding at Gore Place! I had so much fun at this new-to-me wedding venue in Waltham, Massachusetts. And I love estate weddings!
