Weddings

Rachel and Jeff’s day was filled with history. From the setting of their wedding reception, Annisquam Yacht Club, to the homes where they got ready in the village of Annisquam, their day was rich in heirlooms and storied places. It seems fitting to begin our introduction of them with a story about them of our […]

For Brides

There are almost always things that go differently than planned at your wedding. Sometimes they are small, and sometimes that are a bit more significant. But even so, the day can still be so beautiful, joyful, meaningful, and memorable. Today I’m sharing some never-before-told-online stories of examples from our own wedding. 7 years ago this […]

Weddings

Jamie and Peter are so incredibly loved. Their wedding day in Holyoke, Massachusetts was such a magical one, bringing them back to the place where they attend Peter’s junior prom ten years ago. They stood in this exact place, the place where they ultimately shared their vows, as high schoolers. A decade ago! That is […]

Weddings

There are some conversations that stick with you. My first call with Sam last June was one of those conversations! I was sitting in a Nantucket inn, my laptop perched atop a pile of books. I was traveling to photograph a wedding and was over the moon at the potential opportunity to photograph a wedding […]

Rachel and Burke’s engagement session at Hatherly Country Club in Scituate, Massachusetts was an absolute dream. This session was a “pinch me” moment, perfectly and classically styled and filled with their story.

Couples

It was the perfect night on Fan Pier for Megan and Brendan’s engagement session! We’ve learned to not fixate on the forecast, as the weather in New England can be fickle. But when it’s clear that the weather will be sunny and 75 with the gentlest breeze, it makes my heart soar! Boston is magical […]

Today I am marking a big milestone that has been years in the making. As of 4:30 this afternoon, I will officially be a full time wedding photographer and business owner! Since January 2017, while Dillon and I were engaged, I’ve had a rewarding career in higher education by day. And for the past three […]

Couples

One of my favorite parts about New England is the seaside towns that dot the coastline. From Connecticut all the way up to Maine, there are so many picturesque places to enjoy. There are some towns that just feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook, and this is one of them. Meghan and Pat’s Marblehead […]
