Holly & Roland’s Colorful Summer Wedding at Salem Cross Inn in Massachusetts

Another Salem Cross Inn wedding, yay! Since I’m always traveling for weddings, it’s pretty rare that I end up at the same venue twice in one year. But honestly, I’ll never complain about heading back to Salem Cross Inn in West Brookfield, MA, because this place is pure magic. And Holly & Roland’s wedding? Every kind of beautiful.

Getting Ready at a Cozy Bed & Breakfast

We started the day tucked away in the woods at the coziest log cabin bed & breakfast. (I questioned if I was even in the right place after bumping down a dirt road for what felt like forever but it was so worth it.) The cabin was full of charm, farm animals, and the most peaceful energy.

Holly and her bridesmaids spent the morning in total relaxation: no chaos, no stress. All they did was enjoy each other’s company on a summer day. It was honestly the calmest wedding prep I’ve ever seen.

Ceremony at Salem Cross Inn

Then it was off to Salem Cross Inn for the ceremony and reception. The whole scene felt straight out of a movie-succulent centerpieces on every table, blooms everywhere you turned, and a guitarist playing under the gazebo as guests arrived.

Roland was right at the center of it all, grinning ear to ear and buzzing with excitement to marry the love of his life. The ceremony was heartfelt, joyful, and colorful in every way. Classic Salem Cross Inn wedding vibes.

A Celebration Full of Personality

The rest of the day flew by in a blur of music, dancing, and happy tears. Friends and family gave spontaneous performances, choreographed dances hit the floor, and the energy never let up.

But my favorite part? Holly & Roland stepped into aprons, grabbed spoons, and served whipped cream to their guests’ slices of pie. Yes, pie instead of cake. Yes, an actual mountain of whipped cream. Yes, it was amazing. Can we please make this a wedding tradition forever?

Final Thoughts

Holly & Roland’s Massachusetts wedding at Salem Cross Inn was colorful, relaxed, and so full of joy. From the laid-back morning in the woods to the whipped-cream-pie finale, it was a day that felt completely true to them. And I’d go back to this venue again and again in a heartbeat.

This wedding was one of many I’ve photographed across New England! Check out my complete list of New England wedding venues I’ve shot at for more ideas.
