Park Plaza Boston Wedding | Timeless Elegance Captured | Taylor and Joe

… what TBP Couples are saying …

“If you’re not using Tatiana as your wedding photographer, you’re truly missing out on something extraordinary.
From the moment we found her on Instagram and had our first Zoom call, we knew she was the one. Tatiana’s poise, her thoughtful approach to photography, her philosophy on storytelling, and the way she connects with her couples instantly proved she’s not just a photographer—she’s an artist with a passion for creating magic.


Meeting her in person for our engagement session only solidified everything we already knew: Tatiana is exceptional. I’m not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but Tatiana has this rare ability to make you feel at ease, even when posing on a bustling Boston street. Her encouragement and energy turned what could have been nerve-wracking into a genuinely fun and memorable experience.
Then came our wedding day, and Tatiana took things to another level. From her arrival at 7 a.m. until her heartfelt goodbye close to midnight, she was a source of positivity, enthusiasm, and tireless dedication. Not once did she show signs of fatigue or need for a break—her focus was completely on us and making sure we felt celebrated. Her energy and presence felt like having a close friend by our side, cheering us on and making us feel like royalty.


And the photos? Breathtaking. They look like they belong in the pages of Vogue. Tatiana has this unmatched ability to capture not just moments, but emotions and stories. We’ve received endless compliments from family and friends about how stunning the photos are.


Tatiana isn’t just a master of her craft; she’s a joy to work with, a true professional, and someone we’re now lucky to call a lifelong friend. Choosing Tatiana as your wedding photographer is choosing to have the best experience possible. She’s simply one of a kind.”

Hi there,

Taylor and Joe's love story began with a serendipitous meeting at Blu, a vibrant waterfront bar in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, where mutual friends brought their paths together. Little did they know that this casual encounter would blossom into a beautiful love story. Joe, with his thoughtful and romantic nature, orchestrated a picture-perfect proposal on Martha's Vineyard. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with warm hues, they strolled along the beach near the iconic Edgartown lighthouse. It was there, amidst the tranquil beauty of the setting, that Joe knelt down, asking Taylor to be his forever. Overwhelmed with joy and surprise, she said "yes," marking the beginning of their journey towards their dream wedding.

With their hearts set on a celebration that reflected their deep connection to Boston, Taylor and Joe chose the iconic Park Plaza as their wedding venue. "Boston is such a special place for us," they explained, "It is where our love truly began." The Park Plaza's breathtaking ballroom and its grand amenities, including accommodations for their guests, made it the perfect setting for their magical day.

A Morning of Magic: Taylor's Getting Ready at The Park Plaza

The morning of their wedding day was a delightful flurry of excitement as Taylor prepared in the enchanting garden suite. Laughter filled the air as she and her bridesmaids shared a celebratory champagne toast, a joyful start to the day.

Taylor's journey to finding her dream wedding dress led her to Vows Bridal, where she discovered the exquisite Berta Privée gown that would make her a lifelong dream a reality. For as long as she could remember, Taylor had admired the unparalleled artistry of Berta, envisioning herself as a Berta Bride. Though she tried on nearly ten stunning gowns, fate intervened, and the very first dress she slipped into proved to be the one. It was a moment of instant recognition, a feeling that this was the dress she was meant to wear, perfectly embodying the elegance and sophistication she envisioned for her wedding day. Then, with the help of her mother and grandmother, Taylor slipped into her stunning gown, a truly special three-generation moment that underscored the strong family bonds I had witnessed at their welcome dinner the night before. Once dressed, Taylor shared intimate moments with her maids of honor, who carefully placed her veil, adding the final touch to her bridal look. After capturing beautiful bridal portraits within the suite, we moved to the terrace for the emotional first looks. First, her bridesmaids were filled with awe, followed by her father’s heartwarming reaction. We then finalized the terrace moments with a few cherished family photos. This sequence allowed for the genuine reactions and heartfelt moments to be captured in their best light, reflecting the love and support surrounding Taylor as she prepared to walk down the aisle.

Joe Getting Ready at The Park Plaza

Joe's morning was a picture of anticipation and meticulous preparation, a testament to his excitement for the day ahead. He chose to begin his preparations in a private setting, joined by his two closest friends, creating a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. Shortly after, his father joined them, sharing in the quiet moments before the celebrations began. Joe's preparedness was evident; he was impeccably on time, and his suite was perfectly organized, complete with glasses and props, just as we had planned. His commitment to ensuring everything was perfect spoke volumes about how much this day meant to him. Later, his mother joined him for a heartfelt first look, a truly emotional moment that highlighted the deep bond they shared. One of the most rewarding aspects of photographing Taylor and Joe's wedding was witnessing their genuine emotions. Their openness and expressiveness were palpable, making it clear how much this day meant to them, and it was a privilege to capture and share those heartfelt moments.

Traveling to the Holy Cross cathedral

The anticipation leading up to the ceremony was palpable. Joe, accompanied by his groomsmen and bridesmaids, departed from the Park Plaza with an infectious energy, their excitement filling the air. Shortly after, Taylor, her radiant smile as bright as ever, emerged alongside her father, stepping towards the elegant, antique Bentley. This intimate moment, shared between father and daughter, was truly precious, a quiet prelude to the momentous occasion. The journey to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross was filled with a sense of wonder and anticipation, the antique car a fitting vessel for this special transition. Upon arrival, Taylor’s father tenderly assisted her from the car, a stunning visual that perfectly captured the support and love surrounding her as she prepared to walk down the aisle and meet Joe.

A Classic Ceremony at The Holy Cross Cathedral

The grandeur of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross set the stage for a truly breathtaking ceremony. Its soaring vaulted ceilings, intricate stained glass windows, and the majestic length of its aisle created an atmosphere of timeless elegance. As Taylor, radiant in her Berta Privée gown, began her walk down the seemingly endless aisle, a wave of emotion swept through the cathedral. Nerves, which had fluttered moments before the doors opened, melted away as she locked eyes with Joe, his own emotions mirroring hers. Joe, who had anticipated a calm demeanor, found himself overcome with tears, a testament to the overwhelming love he felt for Taylor. Their shared moment was one of pure, unadulterated emotion, a poignant exchange captured perfectly in the photographs. The grand exit, a cherished tradition, provided a joyful finale to the ceremony, with the newlyweds stepping out into a shower of celebration. Afterwards, the iconic, sweeping staircase of the cathedral became the backdrop for stunning portraits, immortalizing the couple's first moments as husband and wife against the backdrop of this architectural masterpiece.

Bridal Party Magic

Following the ceremony, the bridal party embarked on a journey to the iconic Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, a location chosen for its timeless elegance and architectural grandeur. The stately brownstones and tree-lined boulevard provided the perfect backdrop, mirroring the refined and classic aesthetic that Taylor and Joe envisioned for their wedding. The bridal party, impeccably dressed and radiating joy, blended seamlessly with the sophisticated ambiance of Back Bay. The juxtaposition of their youthful energy against the historic architecture created a striking visual harmony. It was a perfect equation, capturing the essence of Boston's charm while highlighting the bridal party's effortless elegance, a reflection of the couple's own vision for their special day.

Family Portraits in Back Bay

Continuing the celebration, family portraits were captured amidst the architectural splendor of Arlington Street and Commonwealth Avenue. The classic and elegant backdrop perfectly complemented the warmth and love radiating from the family. The grand facades and refined details lent an air of timeless luxury, creating a beautiful visual narrative that showcased the deep connections and joy shared on Taylor and Joe's special day.

Taylor & Joe at The Park Plaza

With the bridal party and family portraits complete, the focus shifted to Taylor and Joe as they arrived at the iconic Hilton Park Plaza. The grand hotel entrance and the elegant antique car provided a stunning backdrop for their couple's portraits. Warm embraces, tender kisses, and the delicate flow of Taylor's veil created moments of pure elegance and classic romance. These precious captures, taken just before the reception began, perfectly encapsulated the love and joy of the day, setting the stage for the celebration to come.

An Unforgettable elegant Reception at The Park Plaza

Taylor and Joe's reception at the Hilton Park Plaza was a masterclass in timeless elegance, reflecting their vision of a classic celebration. The space was transformed with a palette of white, black, and gold, creating an atmosphere of refined luxury. Every detail was carefully curated, from the grand floral arrangements to the subtle touches that spoke to the couple's personal story. Sentimental items were woven throughout the decor, including cherished photos of grandparents who had passed, a cocktail named after their beloved dog, and custom napkins featuring their current furry companion. Taylor's bouquet held even more personal meaning, with a piece of her mother's wedding dress, a blue bead, and rosary beads gifted by their priest, creating a tangible connection to their family history.

The evening unfolded with a series of unforgettable moments. Guests were treated to a view from the balcony as they arrived, and the air was filled with excitement. Taylor and Joe's first dance to Dan and Shay's "My Side of the Fence" was a highlight, as was the lively dance floor where they were lifted by their friends and family.

As they look forward to making memories, traveling, and starting a family, Taylor and Joe will forever cherish the magic of their wedding day.
