Rory + Erin :: World's End Hingham, Massachusetts Engagement Photography

Rory, Erin and I spent a hot July day hiking World's End in Hingham to capture their engagement photos. We were on the southern edge of a thunderstorm, and we ultimately got caught in a bit of a downpour, which made for some really fun, moody photos. 

These two are so much fun and I can't wait to photograph their wedding next spring! Their ceremony is at St. Mary's in Scituate, where Sean and I were married, and their reception will be at the Jones River Trading Company in Kingston, which I have not had the pleasure of shooting at - yet!

Fun story? Rory crashed my wedding. Yup. He and his friend Brendan have been long time friends with Sean's sister Kerry, and they kept telling us they'd crash our wedding. And they did! They showed up at our reception in suits and joined the last hour of the party, at which point, the more the merrier!

Considering the weather, we had a lot of fun on this shoot. I was newly and secretly pregnant, so I tried not to huff and puff too much climbing the hills at World's End. Luckily, Rory was distracted by trying to catch Pokemon, and Erin was gracious enough not to say anything if she noticed said huffing and puffing. It was like hanging out with friends, which is always a treat. I am so excited to witness their marriage in a few months!

I am currently booking 2017 weddings for June through December. Inquire here for availability!

Molly + Sam :: Duxbury Massachusetts Engagement Photography

Oh, my dear friends...Molly and Sam are two of my friends from home, and it was such an honor to photograph their engagement photos in Duxbury, just down the road from the street they grew up on. I've had the joy of watching them get together, fall in love, face growth and change and pain, and overcome it stronger than before. I am so incredibly happy that they are getting married next summer!

They chose a special place for their engagement photos, a field at the end of the street where they grew up. In high school, they would walk together to this field, sit under the tree and talk; it's their place. It's where their love formed. Imagine the talks that big tree has witnessed, keeping their words safely protected in it's old branches. 

I wish my friends so much happiness in their life together. I am proud to share these photos with you today from their engagement session. 

Ross + Renee :: deCordova Sculpture Park Lincoln Massachusetts Engagement Photography

Oh, I just adore these two. Somehow I am lucky enough to connect with couples who are so sweet and unafraid to love on each other. And they aren't just putting it on for the camera, they just naturally show each other love and affection in a way that is authentic and genuine and you can't help but just smile and fall a little in love with them. 

Yes, I fall in love with my couples. I can't help it! They are rockstars. 

I spent a quiet fall morning with Ross and Renee at the deCordova Sculpture Park in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and if you've never been here, you must take a trip! What a cool place! We just kind of wandered around finding fun ways to use the artwork within the photos, but the property itself is so perfectly New England. Tall pines, lots of foliage. It doesn't feel over landscaped, it's just this little slice of artsy, laid back Massachusetts that you would not expect in this small suburban town. 

I was so inspired by this shoot, I need to come back here in every different season. I'm not sure if and how often they change out the art, but I could spend all day here and probably not see everything they have to offer. 

I am so excited for Ross and Renee's wedding in March. They are getting married at the Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, which will be a new venue for me. But more importantly, I can't wait to see these two say their vows and spend the day surrounded by their friends and family.

How lucky am I to get to witness so many beautiful beginnings of families?

UMass Amherst Massachusetts Engagement Session :: Michelle + Tom

Are you ready for this sweetness? For Michelle + Tom's engagement session, we started in the center of town in Amherst, and then went to UMass' campus and did some fun shots around their favorite places. I can't say enough about how much I love this session. It was such a gorgeous day, sunny and warm, and I couldn't have asked for a sweeter couple to work with. Their kindness and love for each other is palpable, it never feels like work when I photograph couples like them. I'm so happy to share these with you.
