My 2025 wedding season kicked off with Emily and Nate’s celebration at The Venues at the Factory, and it could not have been a more perfect way to begin the year. This unique space, with its mix of industrial charm and modern touches, was the ideal backdrop for a day filled with so much joy, love, and unforgettable moments. Emily and Nate have such an easy & fun relationship. There were so many laughs throughout the day.
Getting Ready
One of the best parts about getting married at The Venues at The Factory is the convenience, everything is right there, including beautifully designed Airbnbs located in the same building. Emily and Nate took full advantage of this setup to keep their day stress-free and seamless. With no need to worry about travel or timing, they got ready just steps away from their ceremony space. These thoughtfully decorated getting-ready suites were the perfect backdrop for flat-lays, final touches, and quiet moments before the celebration began.
Before the Ceremony
Emily and Nate chose to skip the first look, saving that special moment for when they saw each other at the ceremony for the first time and it was absolutely worth the wait. To make the most of the timeline, we captured individual wedding party and family portraits ahead of time. In true New England April fashion, it poured all day, but The Venues at the Factory offers plenty of beautiful indoor space for photos. We made full use of the industrial-chic interiors for portraits that were both stylish and stress-free.
Ceremony
To say it was emotional would be an understatement. Emily and Nate were both so ready and excited to see each other, it’s always such a special moment to capture that first look at the altar. With heartfelt vows that even included their shared love of Disney, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Surrounded by family and friends, they tied the knot and officially became husband and wife in a ceremony full of love, laughter, and meaningful memories.
Portraits
Since Emily and Nate didn’t do a first look, all the portraits along with the remaining family and wedding party photos happened right after the ceremony. And while the rain kept us indoors, The Venues at the Factory has no shortage of amazing spots to work with. We took full advantage of the industrial textures and moody lighting to create portraits that felt stylish, relaxed, and true to the day. Later during the reception, we snuck away for a few more portraits just the two of them, to soak it all in and capture some quiet newlywed magic.
Reception
Emily and Nate were so ready to party and their reception did not disappoint. Fusion Function absolutely crushed it, keeping the energy high all night long with an epic mix of hits (including plenty of Bad Bunny, of course). The dance floor was packed, their friends surprised everyone by showing up in hilarious blow-up suits, and the entire night was just non-stop fun. It was the kind of reception where you could feel the joy in the room and no one wanted it to end.
A Few Magical Touches
One of my favorite parts of Emily and Nate’s day were the subtle but sweet Disney nods woven throughout. From “Happily Ever After” signs to a whole new world moment during the father-daughter dance, every detail felt personal and meaningful. Their vows even included Disney references that had everyone smiling, and instead of a traditional guest book, guests signed a Spaceship Earth-themed sign a perfect tribute to their shared love for the magic.
