Sarah and Peter had a short, simple, and super sweet wedding day at Gracie’s in Providence, RI.
Carly & Brandon's Private Elopement in the Arnold Arboretum Jamaica Plain Boston, MA
Ainsley & Anderson's Pandemic Elopement at Quincy City Hall in Quincy, MA
Anderson DM’d me on Instagram three days before their wedding, asking if I was available to photograph their elopement. We had met when I photographed their engagement at the end of 2018. They had to postpone their big wedding celebration for a year due to COVID-19, but - as Ainsley so succinctly put it - “We were really ready to be married.”
So happy to get to be there for one of the most joyful unions.
Amanda & Parker's One Night Only Music-Themed Wedding Spectacular at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Amanda & Parker's One Night Only spectacular took us through the streets of Portsmouth, to the Wilder bar for perfect light, to their ceremony and their magnificent mid-ceremony cocktail, to a perfect first song performance, to a night of hilarious toasts and wild dancing. One Night Only and Then Forever - definitely one to remember.
Katelyn & Michael, Wedding @ The River Club in Scituate, MA
When Katelyn, Michael and I got together for their engagement photos, she wore a floppy hat that he had surprised her with and spontaneously decided to bring a bouquet of flowers as a prop. They thanked me numerous times afterwards, saying how wonderful it was that the two of them just got to hang out and appreciate one another and their love for an hour. Their wedding day was, unsurprisingly, a wonderful celebration of that genuine emotion.

Ashley & David, Wedding @ Halibut Point & Warehouse XI
Sarah & Sean, Wedding @ Arlington Town Hall, MA
When Sarah & Sean first reached out to be to photograph their wedding, they said, "Our venue's very dark, but it seems to match your style." And when their wedding day arrived, I fell completely in love with their venue. The rain, the wind, a change of ceremony location... none of that mattered. Sarah was so excited to marry Sean, Sean was so excited to marry Sarah, everything was beautiful, and when I asked each to pose serious for a photo, it was difficult to get them to stop smiling. The day was perfectly wonderful, and I was so pumped to be there to capture an awesome couple at one of the coolest venues.
Brittany & Jeffrey, Wedding @ Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation in Waltham, MA
Britt's sister, the maid of honor, began her wedding toast by saying, "I'm just curious, how many of you here tonight consider Britt & Jeff to be some of your best friends?" The entire wedding erupted in cheers.
Britt & Jeff are great. Jeff would throw his championship WWE belt in the air while Britt smoked a cigarette in her flowered wedding dress and leather jacket. They're also incredibly kind, laid-back, and so, so genuine.
Their wedding was a DIY masterpiece and a true celebration of love, for one another and everyone surrounding them. I felt real lucky to be there to capture it.
Stephanie & Christopher, Wedding @ The Old Lantern Inn & Barn in Charlotte, Vermont
I've known for Steph for 15 years. In the past year, in part due to her reaching out regarding wedding photography, we have reconnected, and I am so happy about it. Chris and she are a perfect match. They are kind, smart, and full of love for their families, their friends, humanity, and one another. Their rustic, mid-April wedding was met with cold winds, harsh sunlight, and a certainty that none of those things would mess with their day. From an orienteering course for their guests to Chris's family hopping in with the wedding band, their wedding was full of fun, full of love, and simply the best way to kick off my 2018 season. Cheers to two of the best!
Emily & Justin, Wedding @ Sandos Caracol Eco Resort in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
Emily & Justin assured me I'd love Mexico, and wow. I really did.
But beyond falling in love with the gorgeous landscape, kind people & really cool culture, I got to witness one of the most stunning weddings of all time. 50 of their closest family & friends traveled down for the occasion and made me feel completely welcome. Emily made her dress, her accessories, the dresses of her bridesmaids & both mothers, her husband's suit, all of the favors, and all of the decorations, so there was a cohesive and intimate beauty in every detail.
And... I just think everyone should get to laugh this much on their wedding day. Justin and Emily have that really wonderful, really happy love. It was awesome to be trusted to capture it.
Here's to Le Pants King & Queen!
