Spread the word! The amazing organization Wish Upon a Wedding has officially launched their New England chapter and Jill Person Photography was honored to have been the photographers for their first wedding of Joanne + Joe.
Wish Upon a Wedding is the world’s first nonprofit wish granting organization providing weddings and vow renewals for couples facing terminal illness and serious life-altering circumstances regardless of sexual orientation.
Based on the concept that two people in love should never be denied the chance to marry their soul mate, Wish Upon a Wedding has helped dozens of couples say “I DO” since its launch in January 2010. Our organization provides this opportunity to those who have endured far greater challenges than many of us could possibly imagine.
Both the ceremony and reception were held at the beautiful Larz Anderson estate in Brookline, MA.

One of our favorite moments of the day was when Joe’s daughter yelled “YAY DADDY” and ran into his arms when the couple was officially pronounced husband and wife.
We were thrilled to see both WCVB Channel 5 Boston and Fox 25 News both there to cover the event and spread the work on local television about this great organization.
The property made for an unbelievably gorgeous backdrop for some formal photos of the bride and groom after the ceremony.
The reception decor was designed with “The Wizard of Oz” (Joanne and Joe’s favorite movie) in mind. The look came together with the vision of Gracie Lou Events who planned the wedding, rentals from Rentals Unlimited and floral arrangements by Orchids N Blooms.
Below are all of the wonderful companies and individuals that were able to come together and make this wonderful day for Joanne and Joe go so smoothly!:
