Justin & Qin were married at the breathtaking Grand View in Massachusetts surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque views in every direction. These two had so many unique details throughout their day from a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony to DIY bouquets and special dances.

A wedding is never just about the beautiful venue and couple though. It’s also about the remarkable vendors who bring clients’ dreams to life! Justin & Qin’s wedding was no different, so let’s shine a spotlight on the vendors I was privileged to work with this past April!

The Stunning Venue: Grand View

Grand View is out of this world stunning, with a waterfront view nestled in a quiet cove on Lake Nipmuc! It has a charming New England feel with manicured lawns and private beaches to bring your wedding to life. Unfortunately, it was raining during Justin & Qin’s wedding so we weren’t able to get any photos outside. But, trust me this venue is incredible when you get to take photos or even have your ceremony outdoors. This is a great venue with tons of options and spaces to choose from, get more details on this Massachusetts venue here.

The Wedding Dress: Brides For A Cause

Qin got her wedding dress from Brides For A Cause, a nonprofit that collects and resells wedding dresses to raise funds for charities!! Their dresses are donated by manufacturers, designers, and brides from all over the country. The proceeds give back to veterans, first responders, and women’s shelters. It was such a cool way to support others at your own wedding. I loved it! Her wedding dress was so beautiful and the bow on the back!! I was dying over it! Check out Brides For A Cause here.

The DIY Florist: Flower Moxie

When it comes to flowers, Flower Moxie is in a league of its own. They are a DIY wedding flower vendor, it’s actually a super cool idea and Qin and her bridal party did an amazing job on their bouquets!! Basically, you buy your blooms based on size and color palette, your flowers arrive locally 3 days before your wedding day, and you prep and design your own florals with the help of custom tutorials! It’s a pretty cool idea if you are a DIY girl and have the confidence to do it yourself. The price is also a big plus! The florals turned out incredible for Justin & Qin’s day!

The Videographer: Salt + Pine

Paola and Jess from Salt + Pine Films were so fun to work with at Justin & Qin’s wedding. They are also a husband + wife team and are based in Boston so we were able to connect right away. This was so nice for me because I am so used to having Javi by my side on wedding days but Paola and Jess made the day so smooth and easy. Their work is also insane and we were able to create a beautiful vision together for the day!! They have matching tattoos of their logo which is so cute!! Check them out here.

The Masterful Makeup Artist: Makeup By Minah

What’s a wedding without some glam? Minah from Makeup By Minah was so sweet, I absolutely loved working with her! She has tons of experience in not just wedding makeup but editorial, video, and film. She trained in Korea and was a finalist in Fashion Makeup Contest (sponsered by Makeup Forever)! The hair and makeup she did on Qin that morning was so gorgeous and let Qin’s natural beauty shine through. I would LOVE to work with her again and I mean just look at Qin below. She is GLOWING!!
