Heather and Kyle

Heather and Kyle got married in a Falmouth backyard. I loved showing up and seeing family and friends all helping to put the finishing touches on the spaces. I also loved seeing Blue Ribbon BBQ roll up with a hog sweating in a smoker. A beautiful spot, good food, and great company made this wedding […]

Kate and Andrew

Kate took a gamble. When she met up with Andrew for the first time on their wedding day she came with a new guitar her groom has long coveted. Would Andrew’s focus be rendered useless on this sacred day? Or would his conviction to spend the rest of his life with Kate become even stronger? […]

Mount Washington

Last month Brooke, Ellis and I headed up to the Mount Washington Resort for my mother’s 70th birthday. My sister’s family loves the spot so we went to bask in the family-centered activities that make four grandchildren feel they are in the most amazing place on earth. This in turn makes their grandparents feel the same way. […]

Sommer and Brett

Brett and I became friends when we both started out as staff photographers 13 years ago. We only worked together for about a year, but I’ve considered him one of my best friends since. When he started dating Sommer I was happy for Brett but a little worried about Sommer. After all, I had lived […]

Ben took this photo of me four weeks after a lapse in surfing protocol (always cover your head) left me with a concussion. We had just ordered surf helmets, and I needed a break from concentrating. Previous to my own, I thought a concussion meant a headache and avoiding NFL linebackers for a few weeks. Twenty-four hours […]

Chris and Greg

Chris and Greg got married at the JFK Museum. The museum just started doing weddings this year, and the venue promptly became one of my favorites in Boston. And since meeting them, Chris and Greg have become one of my favorite couples from this year. They closed my wedding season out on a high note. […]

Keirsa and Steve

Keirsa and Steve got married at the Wychmere Beach Club. I loved working with these two. The beautiful setting took a backseat to Keirsa and Steve’s outward connection to each other and the people around them. Joyful tears and laughter were abundant. I loved so many moments from this wedding and am excited to share […]

Marcy and Andy

Marcy and Andy got married at Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester. When Marcy and Andy came into meet with me we thought it was a funny coincidence they saw their friends Sahil and Kelsey in my photos. Then the mind-boggling coincidence came at Marcy and Andy’s rehearsal dinner when I saw Kavi and Elizabeth. They live […]

Kate and Evan

Kate and Evan got married at Shelburne Vineyard outside Burlington, VT. I loved their approach to the wedding day. They got ready together in a big house where both families were hanging out. A taco truck catered the reception. And I loved that Kate was monitoring the dance floor playlist at the end of the […]
