Caroline & Zach | Inn on Boltwood Wedding in Amherst, MA

Caroline & Zach’s wedding day at the Inn on Boltwood was filled with so much love, joy, and color. Their celebration was a perfect reflection of who they are—classic, fun, and surrounded by the people who matter most.

The day began with just a few getting-ready moments before moving right into their first look. The Inn on Boltwood made a stunning backdrop as Caroline stepped out in her gorgeous gown, with intricate details that caught the light beautifully. Her bouquet, filled with bright pinks and oranges, added such a fun pop of color against Zach’s navy suit. The way his face lit up when he saw her for the first time was unforgettable.

After some portraits with immediate family and their wedding party—made up entirely of siblings—Caroline and Zach made their way to one of the most breathtaking churches I’ve ever seen, St. Brigid’s Parish, for their ceremony. Their vows were heartfelt, the energy was so joyful, and as they exited the church, guests showered them with bubbles.

Back at the Inn on Boltwood, cocktail hour unfolded on the back lawn with colorful drinks, delicious food, and plenty of laughter. Instead of a traditional guest book, the couple had friends and family write notes on postcards and slip them into a metal mailbox—such a unique and fun idea! Inside the tent, the space was transformed with soft drapery, chandeliers, and colorful bud vases on each table. Guests were welcomed with plated salads featuring burrata and grilled peaches—almost too pretty to eat.

The reception began with Caroline & Zach’s first dance, followed by a welcome prayer and heartfelt speeches from their loved ones. After dinner, Caroline shared a sweet dance with her dad before the couple cut their cake. From there, the dance floor truly came alive. Guests lifted the couple up for the hora, and later everyone roared with laughter during a traditional Irish dance. The night ended on the perfect note when the best man and maid of honor surprised Caroline & Zach with a live rendition of “Sweet Caroline,” and the entire reception joined in singing.

It was such an honor to capture this beautiful day for Caroline & Zach. From start to finish, their wedding was filled with warmth, joy, and unforgettable moments. Wishing them a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventures together.
