September 9th 2025 - I married Jacob in the Vermont mountains 🕊️ I’m currently on PAGE 8 of journaling the day. It was beyond my wildest dreams!!! The feeling of being surrounded by all your friends and family is truly indescribable. Walking down the aisle to Jake being emotional was unforgettable. The perfect weather, the sun on our backs. The colorful jewel sea of my now combined family and friends laughing, dancing, and making memories with us. Kissing Jacob as the wind picked up. Sharing our first dance that we choreographed ourselves under lights and greenery. Hugging my friends during cocktail hour. Dancing with family at reception. There are so so many details I keep replaying in my head. I’m forever grateful to have everyone in my life. To be loved by Jacob is beyond words. To have his beautiful family welcome me so openly is a treasure. To have my friends and family by my side pinching me all day to stop from CONSTANTLY crying 🤣 I apologize in advance as I will be posting SO MUCH about the wedding day for the foreseeable future 🤣 These immaculate photos are by @krystinaolsenstudio who not only captured such special moments but was so attentive, caring and enthusiastic the whole process! 🙌🏻 Venue: @mountaintopresort Hair: @jessburchett ratchet salon 🤣😘 ( hair didn’t move ALL DAY AND NIGHTTTT) Dress: @grace_loves_lace #vermontweddingphotographer #vermontwedding #weddingphotos #graceloveslacebride #septemberbride #outdoorweddingvenue

Stop waiting. There’s no guaranteed better timing, the best is not yet to come (it’s now), you can always make more money and travel financially-responsibly. My mom has been talking about seeing autumn foliage in Vermont for YEARS - and I’ve been dying to visit Vermont for the first time She was worried about taking time off, getting someone to watch Grandma, and I was getting over a cold - BUT NO EXCUSES SO - WITHIN 72 HOURS - we booked our airbnbs, planned out some trails & WE WERE OFF🚙💨 When I say this trip sparked some of the most cherished memories I have with my mom…🥹 🌄We hiked to the summit of Stowe Pinnacle to the MOST incredible 360 views of Vermont We sunbathed (with waffle and coco 🧇☕️) on the top of Mt. Mansfield 🥰We strolled around the beautiful town of Woodstock, VT. The autumn leafs fell like rain on the restaurant’s canopy when we had lunch 😭🍂🍁 Even on the way home, we had to pull over and enjoy the view of a random lake we passed before regrettably going home 🌅 I’m a proud mama’s girl and so incredibly thankful I’m in a spot in my life that I can treat my mom to spontaneous trips 💚 you are never too old or young to fulfill your dreams and goals 🙌🏻 #vermontfoliage #vermontfall #autumnfoliage #autumntrip #eastcoast #mamagirl #momanddaughter #adventurouswomen #travelingphotographer #traveladdict #outdoorenthusiast #hikingadventures #ilovemymom

If you’re new here, you won’t be able to guess what I do as a wedding photographer… 🤔 Yes, I take amazing photos, boost people’s confidence, turn moments into forever memories, and so on….😉 The thing I do that is a bit special ??? 👀👀 🌲 I PLANT TREES 🌲 Every couple that books me for their wedding or elopement gets trees planted in their honor 🌱😍 Yeah - it’s pretty cool I know 😉 As of 2025, Dawnpoint Studios has planted 660 trees 🌳😮🎊 Beyond photography, sustainability has always been important to me. Most of my awesome clients share that same appreciation for our beautiful Earth. So while you make fun memories in stunning locations, why not get trees also planted?! 🙌🏻 Inquire today for your wedding or elopement 💚 Shoutout to @onetreeplanted for helping businesses be sustainable 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #earthday2026 #sustainablebrand #oneplanet #elopementinspiration #environmentalstewardship

We are SOOOO BACKKK!! First wedding of the 2026 & I am floored by the genuine emotion, the creativity, and sprinkle of luck that ensued. 🥹 Carey & Daniel are such kind, gentle souls that planned a wedding around their people. There was singing full blast in a giant bathtub together, leisurely playing ball in tuxes, and a PACKED dance floor with friends and family from near and far! 🙌🏻 As for the sprinkle of luck✨…that’s a cute story for another post because I wanted to give every section of their day the space it deserves 😉 I’m beyond grateful to be trusted the honor of documenting wonderful people and the special cornerstones that make life so grand. The day didn’t magically come together effortlessly - this incredible team of vendors did what they do best 👏🏻 Venue: TPC Jasna Polana | @tpcjasnapolanaweddings Planner: Well Dressed Events | @welldressedevents Photographer: Dawnpoint Studios | @dawnpointstudios Hair and Makeup Stylists: Elite Bridal Beauty | @elitebridalbeauty Florist: Poppy Flowers | @poppyflowersco Band: Eturnity Band | @theeturnityband Videographer: Kaan Tuglar Productions | @kaantulgarproductions Staging and Decor Floor: The Event Rental Guys | @theeventrentalguys Seating Chart and Table Numbers: Megan Kelly Signage | @miscellaneousmethods Invitations: Shine Weddings Invitations | @shinewedding Trolleys: Shooboo Trolley & Shuttles | @shoobooshuttle String Quartet: Highline String Quartet | @highlinequartet Menu & Bar Signs: Lace and Belle | @laceandbelle #princetonnj #classicweddings #njweddingphotographer #newjerseyweddingphotographer

TOMORROW IS THE DAY 😍🙌🏻 Carey & Daniel get married at @tpcjasnapolanaweddings 🎊 As I reminisce on their engagement session in Brooklyn that looks like straight out of a Hallmark movie to add to the excitement of tomorrow, I remember one major thing… This will be the first wedding of my season, but the only wedding day for them 🥹 It’s not just another work day on the calendar. This is a huge milestone when so many vital memories will occur. Heartwarming moments that make you cry every-time they remember. Hilarious, can’t believe that happened reception moments that will 100% make them laugh even years later. Tomorrow will be full of so many emotions. Finding that perfect balance of professionalism and empathy to allow for those emotions to play out is so important. I’m SO excited for everything tomorrow holds for this sweet couple☺️ #newjerseyweddingphotographer #mercercountynj #princetonnj #documentaryweddingphotos

Something new is here… 👀 In 2023, I had the honor of photographing Kristin and Matthew’s wedding at the gorgeous @whitbycastle 🎊 Fast forward to 2026, and they are welcoming their baby Gabriel into the world 🥹 We celebrated this milestone with a maternity shoot beforehand. On a particularly warm winter day, we roamed around @bearmtninn 😍 The sun was out and illuminating the beautiful mountains and trees all around. It’s these fill circle moments that make this career so heartwarming… so so honored to photograph wonderful people and the milestones of their lives 🥰 So happy for you both🥹 #njmaternityphotographer #newyorkmaternityphotographer #outdoormaternity #coldspringsny
