Exchange your written, personal vows with each other at the top of a mountain, and make them legal in front of your family in the meadow below. This is exactly what Bethany and Eric did in Kings Canyon National Park on the most freaking magical day of my whole life.
Read MoreI’m a firm believer that any kind of precipitation makes a wedding day more magical. Anyone can have a normal blue sky, but rain is something special that you can’t plan for. Weather is an opportunity for magic that not everyone can have! Plus, it usually brings really wonderful, soft light with it that makes everyone’s skin glow. Win win!
Read MoreJenny and Laura have built the most incredible life. They live on and are renovating the most incredible old New England Farm house, complete with barns, goats and a backyard forrest that turns into a field. They also have a couple of super goofy pups and a cat who pretty much runs the house. Their favorite thing to do is to take a walk through the woods to the field with all their animals. This has to be the cutest thing ever
Read MoreStarting your engagement shoot with a cocktail or two is always a plus! Amanda and John asked me to meet them at Better Sorts Social Club, a fresh new bar in Downtown Boston. I immediately fell in love with the modern, jewel-toned decor (omg velvet everywhere yes pleeeease), wood paneling and over all mid-century lounge vibes.

Read MoreI’ve said it once, I will say it a thousand times: I LOVE BACK YARD WEDDINGS. Besides the obvious savings on a venue, backyard weddings are a great way to have a personal wedding, in a setting that will be totally unique to you! It can really open up your possibilities on the big day and give you flexibility that some wedding venues may not offer. Brittany and Matt were able to throw the most personalized and perfect New England wedding, sharing the things they love with all the people they love most.
Read MoreWhen couples are stumped on where they should do their engagement photos, I always ask them what they would do on a normal date night. Lilli and Cole are huge craft cocktail fans, so we started their session in Downtown San Diego at You and Yours Distillery, one of their favorite spots.
Read MoreWhen I first met up with Anne and Ben to chat about their wedding plans, the whole conversation immediately became about dogs. We met at dog friendly brewery and had a hard time focusing with all the furry friends around us. Pups are probably about half of my heart, having worked with dogs as a walker and vet tech for years before I became a full time photographer. Dog people are always my people and it seemed like a pretty perfect fit as soon as the three of us started to chat.
Read MoreEngagement shoots are such an important part of the photographer-couple relationship. I like to think of the engagement shoot as a practice run before the big day. Having your photo taken can seem intimating and I love being able to show my couples how fun and easy it can be.
