Alyssa & Harold’s Endicott Estate Wedding

Alyssa & Harold are special to me! Alyssa is the sister of a good friend and I was so honored to be a part of their wedding day. I spent the day at Endicott Estate with them and I was so impressed by how calm and relaxed they both were. They were surrounded by family and friends and quite obviously were in their element. Yes, it was a rainy day. But the sun was shining over Alyssa & Harold!

Anna & Patrick’s Seaport Wedding

There is something about the Hahn & Kerrigan families. They have a way of making you feel like family within minutes. I was honored to be a part of Anna & Pat’s wedding day at Seaport (where I also feel like family!). But as Anna’s maid of honor eloquently said, Anna & Pat’s marriage was much bigger than the two of them. I truly witnessed a marriage of two families rather than two individuals. It was easy to see the Hahn’s and Kerrigan’s have decades of fun together before them! Congratulations to you all!!

Meredith & Ryan’s Spring Wedding at the Taj

The day with Meredith and Ryan was full of fun! And some surprises! We started getting ready at the Taj and I was so touched by the number of heirlooms Meredith and Ryan were able to incorporate into their attire. They had special accessories passed down from grandparents and great grandparents that included Meredith’s broach & purse and Ryan’s cufflinks and watch. What a lovely way to be reminded of your history as you look forward to your new future as husband and wife. We had a perfect time in the Public Garden (as crowded as it was!) and were able to return to the city streets after sunset. I was thrilled to hear Meredith and Ryan were not afraid to play in traffic with me! And in the middle of that traffic, we ran into some friendly and gracious Boston Fire Fighters who let us borrow their truck for some extra special images. Then it was time to whisk the two of them back to the Taj Rooftop Ballroom to dance the night away with one of my favorite bands, K2. It was such a blast!

Amy & Keith’s One Year Anniversary

Amy and Keith have been married one year. And as their lives are about to take them across the country, they wanted to mark this special time in their lives living inBoston. I’m so glad they did! We spent an afternoon finding some spots they knew would remind them of their beloved Boston. Amy and Keith expressed their wonderful relationship and truly singular personalities in each photo. As you’ll see, one of their hobbies is acrobatics! It was so much fun to photograph them climb, stretch and pop into handstands! I’m sad to see Amy & Keith leave our fair city, but I’m am thrilled for them and their new adventure!

Jennifer & Nader’s Classic Rooftop Wedding

I liked Jennifer & Nader as soon as I met them! They were absolute naturals in front of the camera during their engagement shoot and they were even more easy and fun at the wedding. Jennifer and Nader really wanted to celebrate their beloved Boston on their wedding day. I started with Jennifer getting ready at the Taj in Boston which is such a classic looking location. Perfect for my classic beauty of a bride! We headed to the ceremony in Medford where the sun streamed into the church’s stained glass windows and made everything dreamy. Wedding party photos were at the Public Garden for the perfect Boston backdrop. And finally, we all headed back to the Taj where the rooftop ballroom gave us a truly singular view of the city. It was the perfect location to celebrate their marriage!

Jocelyn & Nick’s Boston Engagement Session

Remember when you didn’t need eight layers to leave the house? We had the perfect weather for this Fall Engagement Session! Sigh. When thinking about an engagement session, I always tell my clients to choose a spot that is special for them. Find a location that will speak to their relationship and personalities. Jocelyn and Nick love the city! And we had a blast wandering around. We started with a drink at the bar in the Omni Parker Hotel. The Omni Parker Hotel also happens to be the location of their wedding reception, so it was extra special. The large windows and dark wood were perfect for a shoot. It was cozy, comfortable and romantic! We finished by taking a walk in the Public Garden. Jocelyn & Nick are true naturals in front of the camera. But I think it also helped that they were in an environment they loved.

Best of 2012!

What a year it has been! As I reflect on the past year, I see how lucky I’ve been to have worked with such lovely and unique people. My job has taken me to beautiful locations and has introduced me to some truly wonderful people. I’ve had such a difficult time choosing my favorite images of 2012…which you’ll see…as there are many! I’ve had the opportunity to witness and capture some really special and one of a kind moments. I’m so pleased to be able to share some of my favorites. The engagement session can be an important part of my job. And certainly one of the most fun! It’s my first opportunity to really spend some time with my clients. I learn about their relationships, personalities and styles. And my clients learn what it’s like to be photographed. I always ask my clients to choose a location that is special to them and speaks to their relationship. So I find myself in some interesting spots from local bars and city streets to hiking trails and farms. Here are some of my favorite from this year… The wedding day is a wild and exciting day. By far, […]

Melissa & Ed’s Winter Wedding at the Topsfield Commons

I can’t think of a better way to finish this year’s wedding posts! I just love the Forchielli family! They’re my kind of family. They’re incredibly close, but are happy to welcome anyone into their good time. And when they have a party, they pull no punches! The day started with a beautiful, semi-private sneak peek (you’ll see Melissa’s mom couldn’t help but peek out the window at the Commons) followed by some beautiful outdoor (and maybe a little chilly!) photos. The backdrop of The Topsfield Commons is perfect for a winter wedding! Melissa & Ed’s ceremony incorporated so many family members, including Melissa’s uncle as officiant. And the party was amazing! Specialty drinks, festive intermezzo, fabulous candy station, passed french fries, and so much more! They even hired a professional painter to capture the scene. Way to go Melissa & Ed! I loved every second of photographing your wedding!

Kristen & Gregg’s Wedding at Granite Links

Kristen and Gregg are a fun and easy couple. No drama, no fuss, just fun! To that end, the couple started the reception letting their guests know it was a party! They gave all their guests maracas and were introduced into the Granite Links ballroom to Harry Belefante’s Jump in the Line. As they entered the room, Kristen and Gregg pulled all of their guests on the dance floor with them. It was such a fun moment! Kristen and Gregg’s friends and family proved to be just as fun dancing the night away with the band Boston Common. Check out some of their photo booth pics! Thanks for the great night Kristen & Gregg!

Erica & Eric’s Fall Wedding

Erica and Eric are a lot of fun and I really enjoyed their wedding day. It was a beautiful fall day and we were able to take advantage of some lovely foliage at Cedar Grove Cemetery (yes, you heard me!). Who knew we’d find such perfect backdrops in a cemetery! It goes to show you, never say never. I also love seeing how my clients use special touches to personalize their wedding. Erica added a beautiful touch to her bouquet. She was able to keep the history of her parent’s and grandparent’s marriages with her all evening by sewing her mother’s and grandmother’s wedding bands into her bouquet. It was lovely!
