This was my first time working with .affairs, and it was such a great experience! I really can’t say enough about how important a good wedding planner is. I’m in awe of their multitasking and organizational skills. Having a day that flows smoothly is a key factor in getting amazing photos, too. And as always, Boca Grande was magical. The staff at is just the best - so friendly and helpful, always. ♥️

There’s nothing quite like the moment of anxiety that hits you when you board a ferry to go to wedding - like, ok, I really better have every single thing I need - even though I’ve checked and re-checked my bag 23 times. 🙈🤪 But I’d do it a million more times. What a gorgeous little place Peaks Island is. And one of the best parts of what I do is getting to meet really interesting, kind, beautiful people. You can’t help but have a bit of faith in humanity restored when you get to witness the behind the scenes interactions of loving families. The simple beauty and sweetness of this backyard wedding is everything I love about my job. 💐🌻🌷

Almost three years ago, I had my first New England wedding. Afterwards, we visited Newport, RI on a foggy day and it was just magical. I remember walking the the Cliff Walk and driving Ocean Drive and repeatedly saying how much I would love to shoot in these places. So this fall, when I photographed a Wedding and Engagement Session in Newport and we used both of those locations - it felt a bit surreal, and I am so grateful that so many couples in New England have begun to trust me with documenting these special times in their lives. Congrats, Alexis and Adam! Can’t wait for your wedding!

I do actually shoot things besides weddings! ☺️
Just look at this adorable newborn and his equally adorable parents! 🧸

Think we’ll get some nicer weather soon? I remember saying at this wedding “hey, it’s not too miserable today!” Yeah, the bar is pretty low, “not miserable” is actually a huge compliment to the weather here haha!

We may not get to look forward to crisp fall air and autumn leaves, but we can look forward to the sun setting earlier - which means using my favorite location again! 🥰
