Tess and Jared

I have a bunch of weddings in November and December I’m looking forward to, but Saturday marks the end of my main wedding season (I’ve taken the last two weekends in October off to be a wedding guest and celebrate Brooke’s 30th birthday!). I can’t think of a better way to end an amazing season […]

Karen and Ian

I had a great time walking around the Seaport District with Karen and Ian. It’s one of my favorite parts of town, too (Brooke and I got married there!). As much fun as it was to try a bunch of different pictures, the real pleasure was in getting to know them even better. I can’t […]

Margaret and Hugo

I have been to Rockport once before, but it wasn’t until Margaret and Hugo showed me around I realized how little I had actually seen. We walked through the little streets, along the rocks, the sandy beach and even found a beautiful park above the shore. Getting to know Margaret and Hugo better was a […]

Elizabeth and Patrick

Elizabeth and Patrick live in St. Louis. So, we got together for their engagement session while they were in town for Christmas. Since the city had record snowfall two days prior, we did the whole session at the Boston College Club, the site for their wedding reception in June. I hadn’t had the privilege of […]

Erin and Keith

The first newspaper I worked at was in Midland, Michigan. I was particularly looking forward to working with Erin and Keith because that is where they grew up and met. It was a lot of fun to wander around downtown and the North End with them. We mainly just explored, but we did make a […]

Ashley and Eric

I get nervous before all my shoots. But photographing a photographer you regularly get inspiration from is terrifying. Luckily, I had so much fun with Ashley and Eric that I forgot I was supposed to be scared. We wandered around Shelburne Farm as the sun went down and made it back to the storefront in […]

Kate and Joe

I met up with Kate and Joe in Providence for their engagement shoot. We were doing the normal wandering around the neighborhood and downtown areas when we stopped to look at the taxidermy inside the Edna Lawrence Nature Lab windows. Someone walking by noticed our curiosity and asked us if we wanted to be let […]

Whitney and Martyn

Whitney lives in North Dakota, and Martyn lives in England. Boston is sort of in the middle, so they rented a condo for the week and vacationed in the city together. Since they don’t always plan to live on different continents, the two are also exploring cities they might like to live in together once […]

Elizabeth and Joe

I met up with Elizabeth and Joe in Somerville to explore the neighborhood with them. We started at the Highland Kitchen to loosen up before heading down to Davis Square where we wandered around for a bit. It was great getting to know Elizabeth and Joe better, and I can’t wait for their winter wedding […]

Veronica and J.P.

I met up with Veronica and J.P. at the Robert Treat Paine Estate in Waltham for their engagement shoot. We walked around the property a little before heading over to Bentley University where Veronica and J.P. met while in school. It’s great photographing in places with meaning to a couple. A lot had changed since […]
