Editorial Newburyport MA Engagement Session

Over the years of knowing her, Sam has become one of my favorite people. She’s hilarious, creative, ambitious and talented…so when I eventually met Connor, I was stoked to see she had someone just as amazing as her for a partner. Connor is a total sweetheart and also just as goofy as Sam, with an enthsuastic curiosity and thoughtfulness I really admire. Together, these two are a class act. Whenever I hang out with them, I leave with my face sore from all the smiling.

Plus, they’re damn good in front of the camera.

Cozy Boston Seaport LGBTQ Proposal

It was a beautiful sunny day. Not too cold, but it IS Boston in the winter, so naturally it was quite windy at the ICA, where these avid museum-goers were on a date that afternoon. Tucked away in a quiet shady corner by the water, Sylvie got down on one knee. Smiles and happy tears were had, which are my favorite things to photograph :) We made the windswept look work for us as we walked along the harbor, taking some photos in front of the gorgeous sunlit Boston skyline before warming up in a nearby cafe.

Arnold Arboretum Elopement

Melanie and James were wed on a beautiful cusp-of-Autumn day in the Arnold Arboretum among their closest friends. Having put off their initial wedding plans due to Covid, they decided to go the stress-free, easy route: elope by 3, hit the bar with their pals by 5.

I gotta say…they know what’s up.

Scituate MA Summer Wedding

If there’s one thing about Lauren and Brendan–wait, nevermind. I was going to say: “They know how to party”. But it’s way more than just One Thing with These Two. Their wedding day was a blast from start to finish. The vibes were on, the company was excellent, the jokes were funny… and they were both so in LOVE.

The Villa at Ridder Country Club Wedding - East Bridgewater MA

The unbridled joy on Nadia and Scott’s faces throughout the entirety of their wedding day speaks volumes for the magnitude of their love - both for each other and everyone who shared the day with them. A beautiful July day at the Villa at Ridder Country Club set the stage for laughter, tears, and honestly, the best first dance I have ever seen in my life

Boston Public Library Wedding - Boston, MA - BPL

Jennah and Jeff’s day was a seamless stretch of joy from morning until evening, and I was elated to capture it from the Boston Park Plaza to the Boston Public Library. Timeless and classically romantic, the BPL courtyard was a breathtaking stage for these two to tie the knot among friends and family that traveled across land and sea to witness.

Artists for Humanity, Boston Wedding

This was my first time shooting at Artists for Humanity, and it definitely won’t be my last. The rental fee for events at AFH go directly to funding the employment of over 250 under-resourced creative Boston teens annually in art and design. Art adorns the walls that wrap around the venue and lead to industrial garage doors that let in soft, natural light. The fact Matt and Erica chose this as their Boston wedding venue speaks volumes to what they value, and I was so grateful to be a part of their day.

Cambridge City Hall Elopement - Central and Harvard Square, Cambridge and Boston MA

Rebecca and Adam were wed at Cambridge City Hall in February 2019 surrounded by close friends and family. Cambridge City Hall welcomed us kindly and gave the couple a beautiful room for their little ceremony, with classic hardwood throughout that warmed the room up on this cold winter day. The officiant was also incredibly kind and dedicated to her work.

The Barn at Gibbet Hill Autumn Wedding Groton MA

When I met Julie and Jason, I knew I wanted to photograph their wedding - so when they chose me, I was elated. When I see them together, I see two people very deeply in love, very dedicated, very fun-loving, and very open with each other. Transparency is the backbone of a healthy relationship, and their openness with each other sets a stage for understanding and empathy.

Tower Hill Botanic Garden Wedding

Melisa and Jad chose the Tower Hill Botanic Garden for their wedding day, and it was a gorgeous venue for their ceremony and reception. The late-summer sun was a stunning backdrop for some dreamy portraits of them as newlyweds walking through the field, with the lake in the background. Their day had no shortage of love and beauty to capture.
