Five Years

Brooke married me five years ago today (photo below taken by our dear friend Yoon). A few things have changed since then. Brooke worked hard to transition to a great new career. We have a mortgage and a place we plan on calling home shy of forever. Oh, and we created human life. We have a beautiful son […]

Connie and Ben

I’ve known Connie and Ben for awhile. This past year we became co-workers (they let me share their studio space). When I moved into the space I assumed the perks would be having two of the best photographers I know a chair swivel away for valuable advice and second opinions. I didn’t realize we’d become such close friends. And […]

Best of 2013

I’ve been a professional photographer for 10 years now. Six of those years I’ve been a wedding photographer. After 200 ceremonies I’m glad to say I still really love my job. Every wedding has the same outline, but each one has a new set of people and relationships. And to experience intimate moments usually reserved […]

Alexis and Matt

I can’t think of a better way to cap off a wonderful 2013 than with an intimate seaside winter wedding. Alexis and Matt got married at Castle Hill in Newport. The temperature outside was cold, but that made the celebration (and the fireplaces) that much more warm and inviting. I’m really happy for Alexis and […]

Kati and Matt

I love winter weddings. They’re a little more challenging technically speaking, but people gathering to celebrate during the shortest days of the year ends up accentuating the warmth of Christmas lights and good company. Kati and Matt were married at St. Johns and then went to the Hawthorne Hotel for a really fun reception. Congratulations, […]

Stephanie and Stephen

I traveled down to Kentucky for Stephanie and Stephen‘s wedding. Louisville is one of three cities I would consider moving to if I hadn’t married a New Englander (they don’t move). The wedding itself was outside of town on an expansive farm with tremendous character and history. The setting was ridiculous, but my favorite part […]

Katelyn and Brent

Katelyn and Brent were married in Kansas City. I spent some formative years in Missouri, and it’s always good to go back (not only for the bar-b-que). The wedding was absolutely beautiful, and I was so glad to be a part of it. Katelyn and Brent are musicians, and the band and music they chose […]

Diana and Doug

A bee stung Diana in the eye about an hour before her and Doug’s wedding ceremony. Catastrophic, right? I would have thought so, but with about a dozen medical professionals in attendance (including Diana), the swelling never really head a chance to start. Instead of tears of pain and disappointment, there were tears of hysterical […]

Ariadne and Kyle

Ariadne and Kyle met in the dorms at Harvard and appropriately got married yards away at Memorial Church. The reception was at the Harvard Club and the whole day was a lot of fun. Getting to know Ariadne and Kyle was a pleasure, and I’m so glad they invited me to be a part of […]

Kate and Alec

Remember Kate and Alec’s engagement session? I’ve been looking forward to their Rhode Island wedding ever since. I’d love to go on about these two and how much I enjoy being around them, but I think I’ll let the pictures do the work. Beautiful couple, beautiful wedding. Congratulations, Kate and Alec!
