I didn’t meet Riley & Jamie before their wedding day. Didn’t need to. Within minutes it was obvious: these two are the real thing and I love them. I caught a bit of their private vows from a distance. Just enough to hear Jamie say “I just thought of so many more ideas to add, can we do it again?” That’s it. That’s the whole story right there. Both goalies when they met in college (a special breed that is very dear to me). Riley, a beauty, a twin with the best vibes and amazing taste. Jamie, a golden retriever, no notes. Add amazing florals and decor, some blustery winds, enough sun to warm your soul, and you can officially say “This is a Cape Cod wedding”. Loved every minute!

A rainy day that gave way to an empty Singing Beach and the most beautiful blue skies for Savannah & Nas’ intimate ceremony. And, I got to pet their cat! A perfect day for two beautiful humans! Congrats to you both ❤️

Erin and Ryan were married at The Lake Estate on Winnisquam, a brand new venue. I opened the door to Erin’s mom immediately joking with me, and I knew this crew was going to be trouble in the best way. Their entire circle of friends showed up LOUD - not just present, but fully, enthusiastically, joyfully there for them in a way that was absolutely infectious. The trolley ride might have been the highlight. This group was so wild that people on the streets were cheering, cars were honking, everyone became part of their celebration. Watching humans be this excited to be part of something, watching them make sure Erin and Ryan felt every ounce of love - that’s what it’s all about. Congratulations, Erin and Ryan!

Nina & Robbie were married at @thecraneestate , a day that felt as graceful and genuine as they are. From their engagement session to Nina’s sister’s wedding, every time I’ve had them in front of my camera I knew their own wedding would be something special, and it was every bit as beautiful and elegant as they are.

Julia & Brodie were married at Topnotch Resort in Stowe. They signed their ketubah with family close by, then stood under a chuppah lush with white flowers and greenery, mountains as their backdrop and horses grazing quietly in the field. Julia wore an incredible floral Berta gown that took everyone’s breath away. Their reception unfolded under a tent surrounded by late-summer hydrangeas, lined with candlelight, filled with toasts, old friends and dancing. Julia’s mom, Sue, first reached out to me back in 2017 for a family session. Since then, I’ve photographed Sue’s wedding, her daughter Sara’s wedding earlier this year, and now Julia & Brodie’s. Being invited into their family’s milestones again and again is something I’m deeply grateful for. Thank you for having me as part of your beautiful day ❤️ Vendor team: Venue @topnotchresort Planner @pinktieproductions Officiant Rabbi Karen Flowers @honeyflora_ DJ Nick @802events Events Hair and MUA @truevtbeauty Videographer @blweddingfilms

Chris & Greg are as genuine and kind as they come, and they let me talk their ear off while we walked around the South End to create some gorgeous engagement portraits together. We started off with getting caffeinated at @greystone_southend and walked around the very neighborhood that hatched their relationship. Boston stayed colorful enough to get some beautiful images, and I cannot wait to photograph them getting married!

Bernard and Dana already knew each other from Yale, but their love story really began on a 12-hour flight when Bernard arranged a seat swap with another passenger just to sit next to her. That flight turned into hours of conversation that changed everything. Somewhere out there, there’s a plane wingman who has no idea they played matchmaker to this couple. Fast forward to their Fairmont Copley Plaza wedding in the heart of Boston. These two are as brilliant as they are kind, and their day honored family legacy beautifully. We recreated portraits at the Boston Public Garden, where Dana’s parents were also photographed on their wedding day. Bernard, ever the historian, designed a genealogy display so stunning that I initially thought it was part of the Fairmont’s permanent collection. The night started with a sake toast and continued with a hora and a wild dance floor. They’re now honeymooning in Japan, and I couldn’t be happier for these two!

Shelby & Nick were married at Popplehouse, a private home in Rockport set right against Pebble Beach. A wedding that felt classic Rockport without being predictable. Butter yellow carried through the day, from the bridesmaids’ dresses to the details, soft and luminous against the coast. During portraits on the beach, the storm that had been brewing all afternoon finally gave itself away…our hair lifting with the electric charge in the air (🫣), winds gusting up, even the power flickering out. None of it touched their joy. Shelby wanted movement in her photos, and the weather delivered. It made their images feel like absolute art. Shelby & Nick, your love is contagious. Photographing your day was pure joy.

Haleigh & Peter were married at St Joachim and celebrated the night away at their parent’s private home in Rockport. These two New Yorkers embraced the small town charm in the days leading up to their wedding as they ran into friends exploring the streets and beaches. Broadway Ave was made into a one way for the church ceremony, as it does every Sunday for service. Against the Rockport backdrop, these two and their guests looked incredibly chic, and the cocktail hour by the pool, tented clambake overlooking Pebble Beach and dancing that spilled into the night. Forever grateful for chance to shoot a wedding so close to home. Congrats!

Emily & Walter were married last Friday. For the first time, I had my oldest son work with me on content creation. Getting in the car after a long day and recapping all the highlights of such a beautiful celebration with him was one of my favorite moments. He was feeling the same love buzz we all feel as photographers. I get to see so much good during wedding days. I see parents loving on their kids, friends showing up for friends, and that collective effervescence that makes these celebrations magical. Their day was built on faith, blending culture and family, and taking in the incredible views of Marblehead from Emily’s family home. Guests in navy became a unifying thread, tying together the lush gardens at the family home, the unforgettable energy on the dance floor, and every thoughtful detail brought to life by @northshoreweddingsbyana . Congratulations, Emily & Walter, and thank you for having me.
