Stefani & Ian’s Seaside Wedding

When I first met Stefani, she was a bridesmaid in another wedding I was photographing. I’m always so honored when a bride wants to book me after experiencing my photography first hand! I’ve been looking forward to Stefani & Ian’s wedding all year, and it didn’t disappoint! Their ceremony and reception were held at a lovely seaside property in Connecticut. The day was perfect and the couple were stunning and happy. We were blessed with the most breathtaking sky for sunset photos. But one detail made the day perfect. Stefani & Ian’s precious baby boy Weston was surely the star of the show. They just glowed every time he was near. This beautiful little family can certainly look forward to a lifetime of happiness!

Misty & Derek’s Labor Day Wedding at Charter Oak Country Club

Misty and Derek are college sweethearts. And while graduating school and starting new careers, they planned the most lovely wedding! Luckily, they had lots of help from Derek’s mom who is thankfully local and Donna Kim from The Perfect Details. The day started at Derek’s parent’s house where I was lucky enough to take advantage of their home’s gorgeous landscaping! Misty’s beautiful eyes twinkled thanks to my favorite makeup artist Rachael Berkowitz. After some quick photos of Misty, we were off to Trinitarian Congregational Church in Concord. The church was so simple and lovely. In another stroke of luck, there was a perfect little park with a foot bridge right around the corner. Ideal for romantic photos! Misty and Derek started their party at Charter Oak Country Club with a beautifully choreographed dance. While DJ extraordinaire Patrick Lally kept it going all night! The happy couple’s choice of a first dance “Lucky In Love” was so appropriate considering how perfectly everything fell together!

Kasandra & Don’s Cape Cod Wedding at Ocean Edge Resort

There are so many reasons I loved photographing Kasandra & Don’s wedding! Let’s start with the most important thing. They are so in love! You have to see the way Don looked at Kasandra throughout the evening. It was so endearing! Beyond that, they had a beautiful Greek ceremony at Saint George’s church in Centerville. I love Greek ceremonies. They are visually stunning and full of meaning (and they repeat everything three times so I get lots of chances to take the perfect photo!). Then, we all headed to the beach for wedding party photos. It was a gorgeous day for beach photos with a beautiful blue sky! Finally, we were off to the reception at Cape Cod’s Ocean Edge Resort where Kasandra included perfect little Cape Cod touches like sand dollar place cards and blue hydrangea centerpieces. It was lovely! Kasandra and Don, I hope you enjoy your wedding photos as much as I loved taking them!

Julia’s Girlie, Frilly, Fabulous Infant Shoot!

This shoot was so much fun! Even if you’re not a “girly girl” you have to admit Julia’s infant photos are fabulous! All those ruffles and bows!!!! I can’t stand it! We took these lovely images in the comfort of Julia’s own home with the aid of some perfect window light and simple blankets. For much of the shoot, Julia’s mom (draped in blanket) was the actual backdrop. It put the sleeping baby completely at ease. I hope you enjoy this girlie indulgence!

A Fun & Funky Family Portrait

OK, I may be a bit biased, but this may be the most beautiful boy I’ve ever photographed! This is my darling nephew Tate. I was lucky enough to sneak in a family portrait session with him during a family visit. It was a blast for many reasons! First, I had obviously already developed a relationship with my subjects. That always makes a family portrait session easier. But, Tate’s mom also has fun and funky taste (OK, his dad’s not so bad either). So we were able to play with some backdrops that were super cool! I’m so happy to introduce you to some of my family! Everyone, meet my nephew Tate, my sister-in-law Leigh Ann and my brother David.

Paula & Donna’s Intimate Wedding on Board the Marika

It’s always a special honor to be invited to photograph intimate celebrations. Donna and Paula hosted 14 guests on board the Marika to witness and celebrate their marriage. With the help of wedding planner Alexis Eliopoulos O’Mara, every detail was lovely. It was obvious the most important aspect of planning was including their three beautiful children at every step. My favorite part was the sand ceremony where each child was able to contribute their unique color to the mix. I also loved how Paula & Donna’s first dance as a married couple (played by the talented Bill and Bo Winiker) quickly turned into the entire family. It was so lovely to capture!

Veronika & Matt’s Wedding at Willowdale Estate

Veronika and Matt’s wedding marked the end of an epic long distance relationship. Their cross-continent love affair survived due much to a third person in their relationship…Skype. Skype represented a way for them to see each other, but also served as a reminder of the enormous distance between them. Skype played such a large roll in their lives, they had a custom cake top created of Veronika and Matt battling the Skype icon! The end of this long distance trial made their wedding celebration at Willowdale Estate even sweeter. You could physically see the relief and excitement in their eyes!

Ryker, Photos of A Brave and Beautiful Baby at Children’s Hospital

Weeks ago, I was contact by a woman in Utah who was looking for a Boston photographer to donate a portrait session for some friends who had relocated to bring their baby boy to Children’s Hospital. Ryker is now just over four months old and has already had four major heart surgeries. Although it is incredibly long, I feel it’s important to spell out Rykers full diagnosis to show just what this amazing baby has been through. His specific medical diagnosis is… Heterotaxy RAI (right atrial isomerism) with Asplenia, Right Dominant AtrioVentrical Canal (AVC), Total Anomalous Pulmonary Vein Return (TAPVR), Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV), Left-Sided Pulmonary Vein Stinosis (PVS), & Ventricular Discordance. He also has Heart Block, therefore he has an internal PaceMaker. So Jay and Rachel Warner uprooted their family and brought Ryker to Children’s Hospital. Before Ryker goes in for his fifth major heart surgery, Rachel (a true photo buff) wanted to have a family portrait taken. I was honored to lend my skills. Luckily, Children’s Hospital has a lovely courtyard that we were able to utilize for the portraits. It was Ryker’s first time outdoors ever. You should have seen him looking around! I […]

Sarah & Chris

It’s always fun photographing a wedding when the couple met in college. But I must admit, the BC grads are a special kind of treat! They’re a blast! Sarah & Chris stayed true to their roots by getting married at Saint Ignatius Church on the BC campus. So we were able to do some fun formals on campus before the ceremony! Then we continued the party at the Exchange Conference Center. Thanks so much for making me a part of it Sarah & Chris!

Meghan & Matt

I knew I was going to love being a part of Meghan & Matt’s wedding during my first meeting with them! We just clicked! Meghan and Matt are a super fun couple who refuse to take the world (and themselves) too seriously. To prove that, our engagement session was in a playground. Their wedding at Harrington Farm took the formality up a notch, but kept all the fun! As expected, I loved spending the day with them!
