There are some couples who seem to move through the world with a particular kind of grace, and Mike and Beata definitely fall into that category.
For their fall engagement session, we spent an afternoon wandering through Beaver Brook Reservation in Belmont, MA. Beata and Mike would often spend their afternoons here traversing the trails. On this day, we took our time, stopping whenever…
After capturing Fritha and Kevin’s maternity session, I was eager to meet little Fia at this newborn session! Just as her parents are easy to be around, so, too, was this little baby. Throughout our time together she barely let out a peep, just happy and content to be in her parents’ arms. Fia seemed perfectly comfortable in the arms of her mom and dad. We spent the first part of their newborn session right in their Boston apartment, documenting those quiet early moments as…
There’s something especially meaningful about photographing a wedding for someone you’ve known since childhood. Christina and I went to elementary school together, and I still have memories of playing Bejeweled on her dad’s desktop, listening to Evanescence, and playing with her cats. Getting to reconnect all these years later — and photograph her wedding to Dan at Inn by the Sea in Cape Elizabeth, Maine — was incredibly special…
Some wedding days are centered around spectacle. Others are centered around simply being together. Anna and Aaron’s celebration in Durham very much fell into the second category, and I think that’s what will make it stand out in my memory forever…
Some of my favorite weddings are the ones where the wedding party is comprised mainly of childhood and college friends. Those kind of friends just create a different vibe — the absolute silliness and ridiculousness that usually comes after 9PM on the dance floor is just flowing all day long. This was the case for Maddie and Tony’s fall wedding in Portsmouth, NH, which was full of historic charm, downtown energy, and surprises all around….
Mary and Sam are a unique couple in many ways. Let me tell you what I mean.
First and foremost, Mary is my oldest best friend and that made this engagement shoot special from the very start. Secondly, Mary and Sam are bold. They were dedicated to our sunrise timing for the photoshoot even though that meant meeting at 6AM on a Sunday. And, they were even willing to traipse out into the muddy, squishy…
Relaxed. Fun. Friends. Family. These are the words Amy and Kris used in their first communications with me to describe their wedding day plans. Just from these initial details, I could tell they had their priorities straight. The more I got to know them, the more I learned just how true that really is. Amy and Kris have a lot in common, as they both work in healthcare and love to spend their free time…
It’s not that often that I get to say I had a meet cute with one of my couples. I was photographing wedding portraits along the Charles River when I bumped into Rena and Harunobu who inquired about a portrait session. I gave them my card, and that was that - we got in touch and made a plan to capture some portraits around Boston celebrating their recent marriage at…
When Suzie and Jesse met online in 2020, not even COVID could stall their love story. Though they were both local to the Boston area, they were “long distance” for a period of time until they could comfortably start seeing each other in person. Such early challenges would probably fizzle out many romances, but the way these two clicked was proof that they were supposed to be together, through it all. For their wedding day, the couple planned…
Siti and Shrey met through mutual friends, with a shared love of Taylor Swift helping spark the connection. Long distance has been part of their relationship from the very beginning — Shrey was in college in Texas, while Siti was in the Midwest. At the time of this shoot, they were doing another version of it: Shrey recently moved to Boston for work, while Siti finished up her degree in the Midwest.
So when they were in Boston together celebrating their anniversary, they wanted to take the opportunity to document this chapter of their relationship with a photoshoot…
