Sam + Michael

Provincetown Monument | Provincetown, MA

Love by the Sea

There are places that feel less like a backdrop and more like part of the story. For Sam and Michael, Provincetown was one of them. A place with its own history of freedom, creativity, and love, it held their wedding beautifully.

The day began with family gathered for the ketubah signing, Sam’s mother playing guitar and his brother leading the ceremony. Later, everyone made their way to the Pilgrim Monument, where driftwood, shells, grasses and barnacles echoed the landscape, softened by lavender candlelight and Cape Cod stretching into the distance.

What I remember most is the way they are together. Best friends in the truest sense, tender and playful, grounding and challenging one another in equal measure. Their vows moved effortlessly between laughter and tears. It was a wedding full of beauty, but even more than that, it was full of them.
