A Spring Wedding at the Coach House As Laura mentioned in her vows, it is amazing that two people who grew up 8,000 miles away from each other would end up committing the rest of their lives together. Laura and Aanand first met when she and her roommate, Emily, were in search of a third […]

Because you are more photogenic than you think! The No. 1 concern of my brides and grooms when I first discuss their wedding photography with them:“We’re not photogenic”It’s not a thing. If it were a thing, I would tell you my husband is the King of “not photogenic.”God has a sense of humor.Not photogenic = […]

Green & White Winter Wedding at Natirar Erica & Adam’s wedding was my last wedding of 2022! It’s such a bittersweet event. On the one hand, the year is winding down so we can relax and enjoy the holiday season. On the other hand, it means I will be hibernating and being quite anti-social until […]

A Romantic Fall Wedding at The Mansion at Natirar I love Cassie and Louis’ story. Their dads had been friends for years, but they didn’t know each other existed. When Louis’ dad invited Cassie’s dad over to watch a UFC fight and bring his family along, that’s the beginning of our story. Some time and […]

Meg and Will may have had the most perfect day of the fall for their wedding. What is the best day in October for foliage you (or quite frankly every person looking to get iconic fall pictures) asks? I don’t know. No one ever does. In 2022, this was the day. Natirar absolutely glowed gold […]

I am so excited to share Kristin and Rob’s beautiful fall wedding at Hamilton Farm! I have worked with Kristin for years – a very talented makeup artist – our paths cross every wedding season. When she reached out about her wedding, I was so thrilled to be part of her day! I consistently tell […]

Vibrant Autumn Wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club Taylor loves the fall! Not only is it the most colorful time of the year, but it’s also Taylor’s birthday month. With so much to celebrate every autumn, it’s no wonder that she and John decided on a peak fall weekend for their wedding day! Taylor and […]

Romantic and Timeless Newport Wedding at Rosecliff Mansion There are very few places in America as special as Newport, RI in my humble opinion. Not only is it a sentimental place for me, my husband and I visited for our honeymoon. The rich history, lavish buildings and reputation as a sailing mecca make this town […]

Steff and Evan are college sweethearts who met at a frat party at Penn State. While she thought she was interacting with a very tall handsome college student, she only had half the truth. Evan happened to be standing on a milk crate behind the bar, but his handsome looks remain. In all honesty, Steff […]

Every time we photograph a wedding, I leave feeling like we’ve made new friends, or even become part of a new family! Years ago I photographed Ashley’s friend’s wedding, and as a bridesmaid, Ashley got to know us! When Will proposed, she remembered us for her New England wedding. Because of those connections I make […]
