Alexandra and Patrick

I would describe Alexandra and Patrick’s wedding day as warm. The temperature was on the higher side, but the primary warmth came from Alexandra and Patrick and their friends and family. Loving emotions always seemed close to the surface. At any given moment someone was either crying or bursting into dance. The Lyman Estate also gave the wedding […]

Kathleen and Kevin

Kathleen and Kevin got married at the Willowdale Estate. They were both emotionally present on their wedding day. I’d never seen a groom not only think ahead to get flowers for his bride but to also thoughtfully and patiently do the arrangement. I’m so glad I was able to be a part of this wedding and […]

Natalie and Patrick

Natalie and Patrick got married at Mount Hope Farm in Bristol, Rhode Island. The venue is one of my favorites to work at, and Natalie and Patrick quickly became one of my favorite couples to work with. We didn’t get a chance to meet before the wedding, but I learned quickly how easy they were to […]

Allison and Steve

I had such a great time with Allison and Steve during their engagement session last year. They were both charming and very easy-going. Weddings can be stressful, yet on their wedding day Allison and Steve managed to operate with the same relaxed and warm disposition. They spent as much time unnecessarily helping the people around them as they did […]

Katie and Ryan

Katie and Ryan both went to MIT so we started at the dorms and wandered around from there. I really enjoyed Katie and Ryan’s company and can’t wait for their wedding along the same river next month. The winter has been long and these two reminded me how much I love what I do and how […]

From Darkness

I don’t know how far back Ellis’ memory goes, but it’s possible he doesn’t know what grass is. On Mondays I stay home with him, and I’m looking forward to some outdoor adventures instead of figuring out how to entertain a confined toddler for hours. This week we warmed up with a trip to the aquarium and […]

Jeff Bridges

Almost a year ago I went to Little Rock for No Kid Hungry to document Jeff Bridge’s visit to Arkansas. Jeff visited Stephens Elementary School to thank a staff that is providing breakfast in the classroom for kids whose last meal may have been their school lunch the previous day. Getting a call from NKH is always […]

Bottles

There was a time when we feared Ellis would have a hard time nursing. Then there were weeks we worried he would never drink from a bottle. Now Brooke and I are concerned he won’t ever give up the bottle. Ellis’ parents worry a lot. Luckily he doesn’t seem to stress about his constant state of transition. He knows […]

Best of 2014

In 2014 I traveled to Louisiana, Florida and all over New England spending time with families helping to record a part of their history. Here’s a painfully tight edit of great moments and scenes from 2014. I feel like so much is missing from this, but here’s a little taste of why I love my job. Looking […]
