Caroline and Ross had the perfect fall day for both their engagement and wedding day! I imagine they didn’t realize that the last day in September would have quite as much color as it did. Ross proposed to Caroline on a hike in the fall, surrounded by the fall changing leaves. On the wedding day, […]

Classically Neutral Elegant Wedding at Natirar There are just some wedding days that remind me of my first days photographing weddings. I started photographing weddings 18 years ago, so this takes me back quite a bit here. There are many fun trends and new traditions that my couples incorporate into their wedding days, and I […]

Americana Wedding Day at Natirar Cristin & Sean’s wedding day boasted a blend of two personalities. Their every day adventures came together into one beautifully timeless wedding at Natirar. How could incorporating their love of the city life and sports bars, specifically during football season; with the sentimental performance of “God Bless America,” complete with […]

It has been such a joy to be part of Victoria and Matt’s wedding journey from the beginning! Okay, almost the beginning. I was there for Matt’s proposal. You know that the bride has no idea she’s about to walk into her own proposal when she shows up with her mask on her wrist, air […]

Having already photographed her sister’s wedding four years ago AND her best friend’s wedding one year ago, I was so excited to capture Kate and Matt’s wedding day. It’s so funny to […]

A natirar wedding, blue hydrangeas and country elegance

It hadn’t started yet – I had not even found Amanda in her makeup chair. The sun shone brilliantly, yet graced us with less intense heat than the week […]

Maddie fell in love with the boy down the street! They didn’t see each other much growing up, but Dominick’s sister, Victoria, was one of Maddie’s favorite teachers at school. It was beautiful to see Victoria officiate Maddie and Dominick’s wedding last Saturday! I love stories like this – they’re what add the narrative to […]

A Romantic Mid-Summer Coastal Wedding There are so many different ways to get married. It’s one of the reasons I love my job. No two weddings are the same. It’s an entirely different setting every time, and very often in locations that keep me traveling – which I love! Danielle and John fell in love […]

When I hear friends and family recount the memories of the bride and groom on their wedding day, I often wonder at what point did they realize they would spend the rest of their lives together. Certainly, Mollie and Michael did not think they would find the love of their life when they both decided […]
