By Anna Sawin

Mystic Seaport is always an exceptional place for a New England wedding, with more than 17 acres of riverfront grounds and more boats and ships, gardens, weathered docks and pilings, stone walls and authentic New England architecture than you can imagine.

Meaghan + David: Married in Bedford, NY

By Anna Sawin

This, my dears, was SUCH a special wedding for me. While our bride and groom have their own story together, my part of the story starts way back in a time that our lovely bride can’t even remember—I was a teenager and I was her babysitter. Fast forward more years than any of us can…
