Some of my favorite weddings are the ones where the wedding party is comprised mainly of childhood and college friends. Those kind of friends just create a different vibe — the absolute silliness and ridiculousness that usually comes after 9PM on the dance floor is just flowing all day long. This was the case for Maddie and Tony’s fall wedding in Portsmouth, NH, which was full of historic charm, downtown energy, and surprises all around….
Mary and Sam are a unique couple in many ways. Let me tell you what I mean.
First and foremost, Mary is my oldest best friend and that made this engagement shoot special from the very start. Secondly, Mary and Sam are bold. They were dedicated to our sunrise timing for the photoshoot even though that meant meeting at 6AM on a Sunday. And, they were even willing to traipse out into the muddy, squishy…
Relaxed. Fun. Friends. Family. These are the words Amy and Kris used in their first communications with me to describe their wedding day plans. Just from these initial details, I could tell they had their priorities straight. The more I got to know them, the more I learned just how true that really is. Amy and Kris have a lot in common, as they both work in healthcare and love to spend their free time…
It’s not that often that I get to say I had a meet cute with one of my couples. I was photographing wedding portraits along the Charles River when I bumped into Rena and Harunobu who inquired about a portrait session. I gave them my card, and that was that - we got in touch and made a plan to capture some portraits around Boston celebrating their recent marriage at…
When Suzie and Jesse met online in 2020, not even COVID could stall their love story. Though they were both local to the Boston area, they were “long distance” for a period of time until they could comfortably start seeing each other in person. Such early challenges would probably fizzle out many romances, but the way these two clicked was proof that they were supposed to be together, through it all. For their wedding day, the couple planned…
Fritha and Kevin have been building their life together for quite some time now. Originally college sweethearts (who actually met while studying abroad before realizing they were attending the same college!), they settled in Boston after graduation and have been making it their home ever since. It was during the pandemic that they, like many others, added to their household by getting a puppy. Gatsby is equal parts handsome gentleman and goofy furbaby. While he knows something is changing with Fritha, it’s not clear if he realizes just how much…
For Lauren’s senior portraits, we met at Kettle Cove in Cape Elizabeth, Maine for a summer sunrise. It was a quiet Sunday and the beaches were empty as I greeted her and her sweet mom, Lynn. The only people who started to arrive soon after us were men loading boats into the water to take to the seas. The sky was a gorgeous…
Is there anything more lovely than a Maine island wedding? I might be a little biased here because I myself got married on a Maine island, but…it is just too dreamy! Liz and Christian decided to take this route and tie the knot on Long Island, ME, both because it’s breathtaking but also because it’s a place that is very personal to them…
A triple threat on stage, Abby has her sights set on a life spent in the theater. It’s safe to say she’s off to an excellent start in pursuing this dream. Not only is she a powerhouse singer, but she can act and dance, too. Her talents and efforts frequently win her the lead roles in productions both in her school’s drama program and also community theaters. She learns her lines with studious aplomb and has regularly mentored younger students on their own paths to the spotlight. Now that she is readying herself for higher education and gathering her portfolio together, it was time for a key component: headshots…
Some wedding days are centered around spectacle. Others are centered around simply being together. Anna and Aaron’s celebration in Durham very much fell into the second category, and I think that’s what will make it stand out in my memory forever…
