First, we stopped at the incredible Castle Hill Inn for photos at the lighthouse on their sprawling property. There’s no shortage of New England charm on those picturesque cliffs on the water. We then drove through Newport over to Sachuest Beach for golden hour and sunset. The sky decided to show off and lit up in a rainbow of pastel colors for their photos! We are looking forward to their wedding on the Duxbury Bay waterfront in Massachusetts this August.

This city is home to them, so it was special to have these photos incorporate Boston and this stage of their lives. I’m all about a meaningful location and it’s even better when it’s as beautiful as this one. The spotlight will be on these two again next summer at their beautiful wedding day! Cheers to Alec & Carolyn deciding on forever together, and a few photos to mark the occasion!

How to put this friendship into words! I have always loved and admired Rachel. We started out as high school volleyball teammates & became fast friends. While life changed and changed throughout the years, we always picked up right where we left off. I remember when Rachel & Ken first met and started dating… suddenly […]

We rescheduled this session time and time again due to weather, and finally landed on the most beautiful summer evening for Meredith & Nick’s engagement photos in Chatham, Massachusetts. I loved being shown around this beautiful place that they hold close to their hearts as we hopped from location to location throughout this seaside town on the Cape, starting at Chatham Bars Inn and ending up on Lighthouse Beach.

I don’t even know where to start with this one! Heather & Matt are one of my 2019 couples and we recently captured their engagement session in Warren: a cute, coastal town in Rhode Island. I loved them from the minute I first met them this past winter when we were booking their wedding, and immediately felt their natural, joyful connection. You pick up on the genuine chemistry between them in a split second, and I love how it translates through these photos.

Spring decided to show off for Brett & Briana! It seemed like just about everything was in bloom for their engagement session at Northeastern University in Boston, where it all began for them. They toured me around campus to some of their favorite spots and we finished up on top of a parking deck overlooking the Boston skyline. With a bit of luck, a cloudy morning gradually changed to blue skies and sun by the time we reached the top, leaving the skyline perfectly illuminated in gorgeous shades of blue.

I kicked off spring sessions with one of my 2019 couples, Erin & Brendan, at the Cross Estate Gardens this April. It’s one of my top favorite locations for sessions and we won the spring engagement session lottery that day… warm weather, no wind, no rain, and some colorful blooms! That combination almost never happens in the early spring but we certainly took advantage of the beautiful day. The next time Erin & Brendan are in front of my camera it will be December as they become husband and wife! I am thrilled to be working with this sweet couple, and I already cannot wait to capture their winter wedding at Hamilton Farms in New Jersey.

There were always golden retrievers in my home growing up, so I understand how much of a part of the family your dog can be. They are the furry, four-legged family member who shows unconditional love. Maybe they were your first “baby” before kids arrived. Or maybe you got the dog to help your child make friends. Or, you might just be dog people and can’t have a home without one running for the door when you walk in! Whatever the reason…they are a part of your story too. 

A look back at my favorite shots from the weddings & engagement sessions of 2017

This engagement session was one of those shoots that I just could not wait to upload and start editing after shooting! New York was SO good to us that afternoon. While it was a windy and cold November day, Shannon & Mike were total troopers, and that beautiful fall evening light was amazing to shoot in as it illuminated all the fall colors in the park.
