an intimate family wedding in cape cod, massachusetts

This intimate family wedding in Cape Cod, Massachusetts felt more like a weekend at home than a traditional wedding day. Everyone gathered at a peak Cape Cod vacation house, where Bridget and Paolo’s ceremony took place right in the backyard, surrounded by family, laughter, and salty air.

The pace was slow and easy, with plenty of time to linger over small moments. Cozy details popped up everywhere — thoughtful touches that made the day feel deeply personal and unfussy. Nothing was staged or overdone, and that was exactly the magic of it. It was the kind of wedding where hugs lasted a little longer and everyone knew everyone’s name.
