This summer, I had the joy of photographing Dana and Pavan’s wedding at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston, Massachusetts. The day was absolutely perfect — sunny skies, warm air, and surrounded by the beauty of one of the most iconic wedding venues in Boston.

The ceremony was truly special: Pavan’s grandfather officiated, bringing heartfelt words and blessings to the couple. It was a romantic and intimate moment that reflected their love story beautifully. Their closest family and friends gathered to celebrate, making this Boston summer wedding even more memorable.

As a Boston wedding photographer, I always feel lucky to capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments. After the ceremony, we took family and group photos, filled with laughter, hugs, and happy tears. Then, I walked with the couple through the Arboretum to capture more romantic wedding portraits.

We finished the session in a breathtaking garden inside the Arnold Arboretum — a place with deep meaning for Dana and Pavan. It was there, surrounded by flowers and history, that Pavan proposed to Dana. Returning to that very spot on their wedding day made the moment even more emotional and unforgettable. Now, they have both memories and photographs that will last a lifetime.
