We had the absolute pleasure of photographing Sydni and Filip’s fall engagement session at a stunning local land preserve, and let me tell you, these two are naturals in front of the camera! From the moment we met up, their love for each other was so evident, and it made capturing their connection such a...
Leah and Nick’s lake house engagement session was absolutely incredible! When they asked us if we’d travel to their special spot, we immediately said, “Yes!” Being a private home, we had obviously never been there and didn’t know what to expect. We knew their photos would be perfect, because it’s a spot special to them,...
Hey lovebirds and fellow romantics! I’m so excited to share a seriously enchanting engagement session. Katie and Atheer decided to make Hartford their love playground, and let me tell you, it was pure magic. These two met while working as residential counselors at a group home. I mean, who would’ve thought, right? Talk about a...
We had the best time hanging out with Valerie and Eric for their fall engagement session! Anybody from New England knows that we had rain pretty much every single weekend this fall!

I’m excited to share Krista and Jon’s engagement session, a couple who is as sweet as they are in love. Their session took place this fall at a local farm, and it was the perfect blend of rustic charm and fall vibes. Krista had her heart set on incorporating corn and fall elements into their...

After months of working behind the scenes on our blog, we’re so excited to continue sharing the beautiful love stories we’ve had the honor of documenting. This week, we’re featuring Jennifer and Mitchell, and their timeless Publick House Historic Inn wedding is one you won’t want to miss.
Jennifer and Mitchell’s wedding day at the Publick House in Sturbridge, Massachusetts was the perfect blend of historic elegance, heartfelt moments, and pure joy. From getting ready onsite surrounded by buzzing excitement, to a ceremony that felt deeply personal and meaningful, every part of the day unfolded so naturally and beautifully.
Just before the ceremony, a brief rain shower passed through- the kind they say brings good luck. Minutes later, the sun emerged, the grounds dried, and the sky transformed into something truly breathtaking. It felt cinematic in the best possible way. Add in a ceremony officiated by a close friend, the iconic Publick House bunnies making a surprise appearance, and portraits by the pond, barns, and manicured meadows, and the day was nothing short of magical.
The celebration continued with emotional and funny toasts, a choreographed first dance that had everyone smiling, and a joyful cake cutting that perfectly reflected Jennifer and Mitchell’s energy as a couple.
We’re so honored to have been their wedding photographers and to tell their story through these timeless and romantic images.

Ever since our new blog site went live, I’ve been deep in blog catch-up mode. And, while working on Leah & Nick’s post, I completely lost track of time looking through the bridal prep images.
There is truly nothing like being in the bridal suite with the girls. As a total girlie girl, it’s one of my favorite part of the day, always full of laughter, excitement, and the kind of energy that makes you feel like you’ve just gained a whole new group of friends. Leah’s excitement was contagious, her bridesmaids had the best time getting ready, and every single one of them looked absolutely beautiful.
Make sure you’re subscribed to the blog (link in bio!) so you’ll be the first to know when Leah & Nick’s full wedding story goes live. 🤍
After months of working behind the scenes on our new blogsite, I’m so excited to finally start sharing again. Now that the site is live, we can once again blog and showcase the engagement sessions and weddings we’ve had the honor of photographing, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share them with you on our new blogsite! This week, we`re featuring Vashe and Justin!
Vashe and Justin’s wedding day felt like something straight out of a storybook.
From watching unpredictable weather all day, to choosing the perfect ceremony spot just in time, their Tunxis Country Club wedding unfolded with so much heart, joy, and meaning. Add glowing fairy lights, an emotional ceremony, and a portrait session tucked deep in the woods, and it was pure magic.
And then there was Oreo. 🐾Yes, that Oreo, the four-legged guest who may have stolen the entire show walking down the aisle.
Their day was filled with laughter, tears, deeply emotional dances, and quiet moments that reminded us why we love telling love stories the way we do.

Merry Christmas, from our hearts to yours.
As a husband and wife team, it is an honor and a privilege to witness love in its most intimate form, two people choosing each other, choosing forever. This season, we are reminded that true luxury is not found in things, but in moments: the quiet exchange of vows, the warmth of a hand held tightly, the feeling of home found in another person.
May your holidays be wrapped in beauty, elegance, and the presence of those you call family. Whether your celebration is a private elopement beneath winter skies or a gathering held close by candlelight, may love be at the center of every memory you keep.
Thank you for being part of our journey and for trusting us with the moments that will become your family legacy. We are deeply grateful.
Wishing you a Christmas filled with magic, and a new year overflowing with devotion, connection, and timeless love.
Maggie emailed me the day after she and Leighton got engaged, and then the next day, we were photographing their engagement session! I actually had one mini session spot open up last minute, so it worked out perfectly. Turns out, we’re practically neighbors, too! Maggie and Leighton, it was so great to meet you! Congratulations again on your engagement!
