Sarah and Griff

Sarah and Griff got married at the Omni Parker Hotel. My favorite part of this wedding was Sarah and Griff. They were both so easy going and charming. They set a tone that kept things from feeling rushed or stressful. My second favorite part of their wedding was the dance floor. Their friends have some pretty amazing […]

Danielle and Daniel

There aren’t many weddings where I’ve laughed as much as I did at Danielle and Daniel’s State Room wedding. The wit of these two, as well as their friends and family, regularly had me laughing instead of doing my job. Luckily, there were lots of opportunities to capture people laughing and displaying a range of […]

Matt and Seth

Matt and Seth got married at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center. I’ve photographed a handful of their friends’ weddings, and it was a pleasure and honor to finally shoot theirs. The ceremony was among the most touching and personal I can recall, and I loved photographing their dance floor. Congratulations, Matt and Seth! I’m really happy […]

Kelly and Joe

I’ve been looking forward to Kelly and Joe’s wedding ever since I got to know them during their engagement session. I was expecting an abundance of energy and warmth from the two of them, and I was glad to see those characteristics were shared by their friends and family, too. I’d be happy to shoot […]

Caroline and Rob

I didn’t know I liked photographing horses so much until I showed up at Caroline and Rob’s wedding. The ceremony and reception were held at Caroline’s family home and equestrian center in Berlin, MA. The property itself is one of the more beautiful pieces of land I’ve ever been on, and having the horses involved […]

Kate and Corey

Kate and Corey got married at Saltwater Farm and Vineyard in Stonington, Conn. We didn’t have the opportunity to meet before the wedding, but I immediately felt comfortable around Kate and Corey and their loved ones. Everything was very relaxed, and I loved trying to capture all the beautiful little moments aided by the laid […]

Nina and Todd

Nina and Todd got married in the middle of nowhere. I lost cell service 20 minutes before I arrived at Akwissasne in upstate New York. The property is full of history, and the isolation helps make the compound feel even more like a time capsule. Nina and I studied photography together, and I’ve always admired […]

Kelsey and Sahil

I showed up early to Kelsey and Sahil’s backyard wedding in Mansfield, and it was quiet. No one was running around putting finishing touches on anything because everything was done. Kelsey did her own make up and even helped out others with theirs. Everyone was so relaxed (or at least appeared that way). The tone […]

Anne and Michael

Anne and Michael got married in their Dennis, Mass. backyard. Their relationship has faced long distances and a terminal illness. In spite of this or maybe because of it they have a unique and beautiful relationship. I loved seeing old friends interact and hearing hilarious stories during a touching set of speeches. I loved photographing this wedding. […]

No Kid Hungry

Earlier the summer I took a couple of trips to Richmond and the D.C. area for No Kid Hungry. You can’t beat working for this organization. The people I get to be around are always inspiring, and their first step to the infinitely complicated problem of inequality is so simple and immediately effective: Breakfast.
