Best of 2018

I’m a specialist in looking for the beautiful in the ordinary, but this year also presented me with a few moments you would have to categorize as extraordinary. Photographing a former president and Democratic nominee for president comes to mind. Big, surprising things are always fun, but I still haven’t lost my interest in searching […]

Our Summer

Darkness is filling in all around us, but it hasn’t contaminated our spirits. Not yet at least. I can still feel the heat and salt on my skin. I put together this collection so I can refer to it in February and March when my resolve begins to weaken. When it begins to feel like […]

Alex and Bart

Alex and Bart got married at The Lenox Hotel. This was my last wedding of the season, and I can’t imagine a better way to close it out. Alex and Bart kept everything casual even though Alex wore three dresses that day. It would have just been two (one for the reception, and one for […]

Christina and Jimmy

Christina and Jimmy got married at Bournedale Function Facility in Plymouth. The relaxed vibe of the beautiful location matched the relaxed vibe of this easy-going couple. Christina and Jimmy may have felt the normal anxiety people experience before walking down the aisle, but if they did I didn’t see it. Maybe this was because they […]

Nicole and Rob

Nicole and Rob got married at Shalin Liu in Rockport, MA. I had the chance to get to know Nicole and Rob earlier this summer for their engagement shoot. They proved themselves to be kind, thoughtful people, and I was glad to see those qualities amplified on their wedding day. Amazing light also defined Nicole and […]

Liz and Ross got married at Kalmar Village in Truro. I’ll start off by saying Liz and Ross had the best custom-made lobster bibs I’ve ever seen. They also had some of the nicest and funniest friends that kept me laughing for most of the day. After picking a beautiful place they kept everything simple […]

Jessica and Jonathon

Jessica and Jonathon got married at the Bedford Village Inn. I didn’t get a chance to meet them before the wedding, but I immediately felt comfortable with these two and their friends and families. I also loved how the laid back vibes before the ceremony and during cocktail hour promptly shifted into a raucous dance […]

Tammy and Tom

Tammy and Tom got married at St. James Episcopal Church before a beautiful reception at the Peabody Essex Museum. These two have such an outward expression of affection for each other that it made my job extremely easy. I loved how throughout the day they took time to make sure they had moments with each […]

Courtney and Matt

On March 19, 2009 Courtney left this comment on my blog: “I’m not getting married yet, I’m not engaged, I’m not even in a relationship; but I would like to book you now for my wedding…whenever it will be.” A few years later Courtney met Matt and everything started coming together. Earlier this month they […]

Wonja and Daniel

Wonja and Daniel got married at the The Botanical Center at Roger Williams Park in Providence. The wedding was small and intimate. Wonja and Daniel picked a beautiful setting and kept things simple so they could focus on the people most important to them. Weddings can often feel hurried, but I never got that feeling […]
