Shannon and Jason

Shannon told Jason she was going to make her own dress. She even had a busted-up decoy hanging in the closet. She would occasionally talk about how difficult it is to make your own gown, and in the mean time she had selected a beautiful (professionally-made) dress to surprise him with at the alter. But […]

Tulum

Zev contacted me well in advance to invite Brooke and I to his and Maureen’s Mexico wedding. Zev is also a wedding photographer (a very talented one) and knows our calendars fill up quickly. He also specifically told me not to bring my camera. I appreciate the sentiment, but I promptly ignored him. However, I […]

Erin and Adam

I didn’t get to meet Erin and Adam (and baby Colin!) until their wedding day, but I sure felt like I knew them by the time I showed up in Maryland for their wedding. Along the way we found out we have a handful of mutual friends, and after reading their beautiful story in Erin’s […]

Taylor and John

Taylor and John were married at the Ballymeade Country Club. They got ready at Taylor’s family’s home in East Falmouth. I love it when wedding days involve significant places. I also love it when a laid back couple sets the tone for a laid back and beautiful day. Congratulations, Taylor and John!

Keren and John

Keren and John live in Maryland but they came up to Massachusetts for their beautiful wedding at the Red Lion Inn. I instantly felt connected with Keren and John, and I also loved how playful and animated their guests were. I can’t recall the last time (if there was a last time) guests clapped and […]

Katherine and Bryan

Katherine and Bryan were married at the Coast Guard Academy chapel in New London, CT before heading over to Lake of Isles in North Stonington for a beautiful reception. I wasn’t able to meet Katherine and Bryan before the wedding (they’re both in the Navy, and it’s been a few years since even they have lived […]
