Whimsical New England Botanic Garden Wedding
Taylor and Justin’s New England Botanic Garden wedding was nothing short of magical. Set against the lush, botanical beauty of the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill, they celebrated their love. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, this warm August day felt like a secret garden fairytale.

Taylor, the beautiful bride, wore a stunning bohemian lace gown with a flowing train, accented by pearl shoes and her emerald green engagement ring.


The New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill wedding began with an intimate first look at the end of a secluded woodsy boardwalk, followed by the exchange of personal vows. It was the perfect way to start their wedding day—just the two of them, soaking it all in.


For portraits, we moved to the Garden of Inspiration, surrounded by colorful flowers and framed with green Roman-style columns. The lush surroundings and elegant architecture made for a breathtaking backdrop, creating timeless images that felt both editorial and effortlessly romantic.












Their ceremony took place in the Secret Garden, a dreamy, intimate space that felt worlds away. Surrounded by blooming florals and an elegant stone staircase, Taylor and Justin exchanged heartfelt vows in front of their loved ones, officially beginning their journey as husband and wife.









As the sun dipped lower in the sky, guests made their way to the Winter Garden for cocktail hour, an elegant courtyard outside the glass atrium. The pool shimmered in the golden light of sunset, reflecting the surrounding foliage in a way that felt almost otherworldly. Guests sipped cocktails and mingled beneath the open sky, the warm hues of dusk casting a romantic glow over the celebration. The ambiance was effortless and sophisticated, a perfect prelude to the evening’s festivities.








The reception took place inside the Orangerie, the New England Botanic Garden’s breathtaking glass conservatory that serves as a home for the garden’s tropical plants during the winter months. With towering glass walls and ceilings, the space was filled with natural light even as the evening unfolded, creating an airy and enchanting atmosphere. Lush greenery surrounded the room, seamlessly complementing the couple’s elegant green décor. The tropical plants lining the conservatory added a touch of whimsy, blending nature and sophistication in the most stunning way.









Under the glow of twinkling lights, Taylor and Justin shared their first dance, their love radiating through the space as their friends and family cheered them on. The evening was filled with heartfelt toasts, laughter, and nonstop dancing, as the Orangerie transformed into a vibrant celebration of love.



Taylor and Justin’s New England Botanic Garden wedding was a perfect reflection of their love—elegant, intimate, and filled with so much joy. It was an absolute honor to capture each moment, preserving the happiness they felt on their wedding day for years to come.
