Jessica (she/her) and Stephanie (she/her) met through mutual friends in the Jamaica Plain queer community, which I know to be a vibrant and welcoming space. Having met these two for the first time on our shoot, I would also describe Stephanie and Jessica to be just that: vibrant and welcoming.
We enjoyed a summer stroll through the Arboretum, chasing the shade and enjoying the views. (And seeing some amazing dogs, too)
Read MoreCan’t say I’ve ever seen a first dance to a classic metal band’s song, but Sam (she/her) and Connor (he/him) are special like that. And they made it look real good, too. They even walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of this song, “Life Eternal” by Swedish metal band, Ghost.
“It’s our wedding leitmotif,” they said, which I found unbelievably cool. But that’s just what Sam and Connor are: unbelievably cool.
Read MoreWhen they tell me about how they met, it kinda feels like a movie. Scene: The Hardware Store, Somewhere in Arizona. In enters B, hair a mess and simply looking for lightbulbs. There’s a man standing in the middle of the aisle, his head cocked to the side, ear to the ceiling. As she approaches, he catches her eye.
“It’s a good song.”
”I can’t hear it,” she responds honestly.
”That’s the point.” His smile reaches his eyes. “They should turn it up.”
Bea (they/them) and Jackson (he/him) would meet in the middle in Providence, RI, in the early stages of their once long-distance relationship. They’d sit on the steps of City Hall, chatting, catching feelings hard, and watching folks get married… and so now that they were ready to formally tie the knot in front of friends and family, they chose PVD’s City Hall as their stage.
A beautiful autumn day filled with laughter, happy tears, and emotional speeches about AO3. I’d tag this fic as “tooth-rotting fluff; established relationship; domestic bliss; happily ever after; comfort, no hurt”.
Don’t forget to leave a kudo <3
Read MoreRae (he/him) and Marlowe (they/them) have what I personally believe to be the Ideal in a relationship: creative harmony. They constantly pursue enrichment through the arts: from their professions, to their communities, to the clothes they wear — often handmade. When they contacted me about capturing their engagement and wedding, I knew from our first conversation we would get along. Rae and Marlowe’s lives are opportunities for creating, and I felt that when I met them, and felt that even more when I captured their engagement.
Read MoreI always love when I shoot with clients who feel like friends. Truj (they/them) & Brian (they/them) are just Like That - magnetic and companionable. When we first met, we talked for ages about everything: art, poetry, video games, tattoos, cosplay, music, travel, podcasts, food. They love everything, they want to know about everything, and they want to try everything, together.
It was clear to me that these are people who share a zest for life, and found each other to explore what it has to offer. That, personally, is what the Ideal truly is.
Read MoreThese two are extremely dedicated and invested contributors to the local arts. Shira (they/them) works as a director and dramaturg and Colin (he/him) is an experienced stage manager.
Together they invest their time and skill in showcasing the talent, thoughts, and works of the LGBTQIA+ artists and activists in the greater Boston area. Their dedication is evident in the work they do, and I can tell they build off each other, inspire each other, and most of all, support and love one another.
Read MoreEm and Bryce met each other at Northeastern University and have been attached at the hip for six years now. Bryce popped the question during a recent trip to London this year. While they’re fans of traveling, these two are self-proclaimed homebodies, but there’s nothin’ wrong with that. Finding someone you can create a home with is what real love is all about! And these two have a cozy little nest in Eastie with their cat, Hunky Dory.
Yes. Hunky Dory.
He is as amazing as he sounds.
Read MoreSav (she/they) and Matt (he/him) are all the things you love to see for people in love: excitable, curious, passionate, and creative. I met them both through my creative photography brand ChezPhoto, where I specialize in costume photography. Sav works in Biotech and is an extraordinarily skilled seamstress, always planning her next big build; she loves problem-solving and collaborating. Matt is a middle school teacher who is always looking for ways to enrich and foster the rapidly growing minds of his students. Together, they are adorable, dorky, goofy, and very in love.
Read MoreOver 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.
Read MoreIt 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.
Read MoreI met Nate at Emerson College back when we were in school - it’s kinda crazy how time flies, thinking about it. Amidst marketing major blues, Nate was a pal that I could always sit next to and crack jokes with (I mean, totally pay total one hundred percent attention, totally!). So when he asked if I could photograph his wedding with his beautiful bride CJ, I was really touched and excited.
Read MoreBinx and Adam are two wonderful musicians who met each other as neighbors in LA and fell in love - like a fairy tale! We spent the day hangin’ out under the California sun, strolling through the palm tree-lined streets of Beverly Hills before heading to Rodeo Drive at sunset. I’m so excited to see where they head next together, hand-in-hand towards a journey of harmony and inspiration.
Read MoreHaving never photographed an Indian wedding before, I have to admit: no amount of studying (which, I promise I did!) could truly prepare me for the action that filled the day. Every single facet of the rituals were composed with a thoughtful precision unlike anything I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot of weddings).
Read MoreMelanie 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.
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 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
Read MoreElisabeth and Scott are like Pam and Jim…timeless, adorable, aDORKable, and totally in love. They, indeed, met at The Office together and never looked back. They were gung-ho about having an intimate, beautiful wedding that was one thing and one thing only: EVERYTHING AUTUMN.
Read MoreJennah 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.
Read MoreThis 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.
