When a couple hires me as their wedding photographer, it's always an honor to be trusted with the big responsibility of documenting their day. When one half of the couple has managed huge weddings and events, chaired various wedding industry groups and met/worked with probably half of the photographers in Boston and then hires me, well, I'm almost blushing! I first met Gabi maybe 6 or 7 years

I recently spent a lovely evening with Stephanie and Rob walking around the South End for their engagement pictures. We started with a glass of wine at Barcelona (if you haven't eaten the tapas and small plates there, run don't walk!), strolling along the streets, stopping at Coppa (another excellent dining location) and even making a stop to pick up Stella the dog for a picture. Stephanie

Katie was a student at Harvard and Zirui had just graduated from Harvard when they were introduced at a dinner. The conversation didn't stop that night as Katie and Zirui had so much in common.  Over the next year, a friendship was struck up and Katie and Zirui got to know each other much better.  After a year of an ever-deepening friendship, Zirui asked Katie out for dinner. A real date.

Paul and Sarah belonged to the same Crossfit gym. I've never attempted Crossfit but it sounds like a friendly kind of atmosphere where everyone gets to know each other while they're burpeeing and woding.  Sarah was initially dating someone else so Paul was just a Crossfit friend. There were all sorts of events and get togethers for members and they enjoyed hanging out. Paul may have been just a

It's like engagement-session-palooza over here on the blog today. We're all the way up in Bar Harbor with Kaylee + Casey for this post.  The first time Kaylee and Casey met one another was in English class at their first year of school. Fast forward to senior year and Casey spots Kaylee across the room at a party, he says he was thinking "Wow, that's Kaylee from English class and she looks

Before we start today's blog post, I have a couple of definitions for you. As I went to school in the UK, we don't have the Greek system, I thought there might be others out there unfamiliar with the terms "Big" and "Little" but they're kind of critical to this romantic story so here you go: “Big” A term assigned to the elders of a Greek organization. Becoming a “big brother” or “big sister”

Katlyn and Ryan attended the same high school. Ryan remembers the first time Katlyn spoke to him in Spanish class saying "Hey! I saw you at the Jack Johnson concert!" they got chatting and Ryan said he was wowed by Katlyn's bubbly personality. Throughout their senior year, Katlyn and Ryan continued their friendship and finally started dating. As you'd expect when you're just nineteen years

Happy Thursday! I have a little winter engagement session for your viewing delight today. Meet Kara & Brett: One evening, about five years ago, Kara's roommate was insistent that Kara join her on an evening out. A large group of friends were meeting up and the roommate knew that Brett would be there. As they arrived, the roommate was all "That's him!" pointing at Brett. Brett was completely

Last month I hopped over to NYC to photograph engagement pictures (not to mention eat a lot of sushi, I don't think I could live in NYC because if I had access to all the great sushi in the city I'd probably be dead with mercury poisoning in about a month), anyway, meet Moira & Steve:  The first time Moira and Steve laid eyes on each other was at a beer garden. Steve couldn't help notice that

Good morning! A quick disclaimer is needed here. I'll usually share 4 or 5 pictures from an engagement session but not only did we squeeze in three locations for this extended engagement session but Aly and Keven also brought along the Gunner the dog so I'm going all out with more images that usual. Plus it's Tuesday and who want to work when you can look at lots of lovely pictures of these two (

I really wanted to title this post Winter Engagement Pictures because the April night I met Ashley and Peter was freezing cold with a driving drizzly rain and it had snowed the day before. Ashley and Peter were troopers in the icy conditions shrugging in and out of their coats and doing their best not to look chilled to the bone! I loved this series of pictures, I think it gives you a little

Christine & Dan suggested we meet at Assembly Row in Somerville, MA for their winter engagement pictures and as I drove in I couldn't believe I hadn't been there before! Restaurants, bars and shops galore! Anyway, enough about my excitement finding a new awesome place to hang out, let's get to Christine & Dan!  Christine and I shared just a handful of emails before she booked me for her wedding

A few weeks ago I flew to Washington, D.C. for the first time. I met up with Sarah and Leslie to take their engagement pictures in their hometown. We started our afternoon in the Eastern Market and Capital Hill areas. I'd only talked to Sarah on the phone so it was lovely to meet her and Leslie in person - they're an incredibly warm and fun couple to be around.  Sarah was at college in Vermont

Laura and Jay both grew up in the same town in New Hampshire where they attended different high schools. Over the years their paths crossed once or twice, at the gym and another time at a Christmas party… After graduation, Laura went to school in Washington, DC and Jay in Maine. They crossed paths again during their first summer home from school and somehow got to talking about the kind of

Just a few days ago I met up with Ariel and Bow to take their engagement pictures in the Public Gardens, on the Boston University Campus and down on the Esplanade. We started with a little cocktail at the Taj and then wandered over to the gardens: Ariel and Bow initially met at orientation at BU however it wasn't until they found themselves in the same class at the School of Management that

Happy Tuesday! What's happening with you? I'm a busy bee in the office after having a great few weeks with my parents and in-laws visiting from the UK. I thought I'd get back into the blogging saddle with a pretty awesome Beacon Hill engagement session. Cast your mind back to one week ago today, it was one of those uncomfortably sticky, muggy, humid days with crazy intermittent rainstorms. We

Talia and John live in Connecticut, Talia stumbled across my work online and after a great chat on the phone they booked me for their June 2015 wedding. I would have been happy to head down to CT for their engagement pictures but then Talia asked if we could perhaps shoot at her Mom's house in Topsfield, MA as it was where she grew up and it has a nice yard. Nice yard is kind of an understatement
