Ariel and Atanas’s wedding at Peirce Farm in Topsfield, MA was one I didn’t want to leave. When discussing details regarding their day, they said they didn’t want formalities – instead just one big party that all their friends and family could enjoy. That is exactly what they had, and it was a total blast to be a part of.  I love this couple, and their “keep it real” attitudes are so refreshing. They achieved a very unique and memorable wedding, doing things in their own unique way and I totally respect that. Their closest friends were all gathered around as they each prepped for the festivities at the Peirce Farm at Witch Hill in Topsfield, MA.
Ariel and Atanas chose to read vows to one another privately during their first look. This moment was so sweet and even though I couldn’t hear what they said, I have a feeling these sentiments were beautiful. The looks on their faces said it all! They also exchanged thoughtful gifts and we started with photos before the ceremony.
This crew of friends from all different stages of their lives were the best “hype crew” ever! You know it’s a fun wedding party when they request a “rap battle” pose….that’s a first. I didn’t object, of course.
Their intimate ceremony was officiated by Ariel’s father, including many comical antidotes and thoughtful remarks. They sealed the deal with a breaking of the glass, huge kiss, and flower petals as they walked back down the aisle.
After a fun cocktail hour the party continued in Peirce Farm’s beautiful barn. The bride and groom kicked off the party with a “sick” hip hop dance instead of your traditional first dance, and the crowd went wild!  Keeping with the theme of amazing friendships, the toasts (more like “roasts”) for Ariel and Atanas were so great. Their friends obviously know this couple so well and shared many hilarious stories. Then the dance floor started, treats came out, cake was smashed, and the couple was lifted up for the hora…all before the sun even set. What an amazing day for an amazing couple. I wish you both all the love and joy this world has to offer.
