North shore estate wedding on the coast - Crane Estate Castle Hill in MA

Kayla and Simon had a beautiful north shore estate wedding at Castle Hill in Ipswich, MA. With an Italian garden, ocean views, and an epic mansion, this venue never fails to impress visitors. Even after photographing several weddings here, we can’t help but shake our heads at the sheer beauty of this place! Kayla and Simon’s ceremony was held on expansive lawn behind the Castle Hill mansion. An outdoor cocktail hour followed the ceremony, and guests all seemed so excited to witness the union of these two happy folks!

While the Crane Estate venue provides breathtaking ocean backdrops for photos, Kayla’s smile stole the show. This girl just exuded joy, and it was clear that Simon was head over heels in love with her. After their first look in the Italian garden, we captured some wonderful candid moments of these two simply experiencing the excitement of their wedding day.

We loved the natural and earthy tones of this wedding. The bridesmaids wore pale lilac dresses, and all of the flowers were white. Kayla’s flower crown (which she impressively wore all night!) added such romance to the photos too. Dinner tables for the tented reception were almost entirely white. With white floral centerpieces and white escort cards, the reception space had a very ethereal and bright feeling! Simple calligraphy on the escort cards included a connected heart design that really added a romantic and down to earth vibe.

Congratulations to Kayla and Simon… we hope you had a very relaxing honeymoon on the beach!
