Caroline + Jamie | Danvers, MA Wedding

Caroline and Jamie got married on a beautiful fall day at Glen Magna Farms in Danvers, MA. You know how some people just emanate happiness? That's them. I loved photographing them and capturing the raw happiness that they projected naturally.

Very comfortable in front of the camera, this couple is laid back and demonstrated how comfortable and happy a couple should be together. Since they both played rugby in college, there were a lot of rugby friends in attendance and it was obvious that this was a group who had fun together. In fact, two members of the wedding party attended as T-Rex...anytime there are dinosaurs at your wedding, you know it's going to be a good time!

Mariah and Josh, Peabody, MA Wedding

Mariah found me through Facebook pages after her scheduled wedding photographer cancelled on her and she was scrambling to find a replacement. Talk about making a hectic time as stressful as possible. When you're researching and interviewing wedding photographers, make sure they have great referrals! The last thing anyone wants is to have to book a wedding photographer at the last minute. Mariah and I only spoke a couple of times before she asked me to photograph her wedding. I was so thankful that I wasn't booked that day and was able to be a part of their wedding!

It turned out to be a tremendous stroke of luck that her first photographer was unable to follow through. Mariah and Josh are a fantastic couple and their wedding was gorgeous and fun to photograph! We planned to take photographs morning of their wedding before the ceremony to capture some intimate and quiet shots of just the two of them. It was a little rainy and gloomy when I set out to meet them but when we arrived at Wakefield Lake to take advantage of the fall foliage the sun came out shining and it was beautiful! We got some great wedding photos there! When we were done we all headed to in a lovely Wakefield church for the wedding ceremony followed by the reception at the Holiday Inn in Peabody. Mariah and Josh had the time of their lives! It was an amazing day!

Since then Mariah has been a huge supporter of my wedding photography and recommends me to her friends and family on what feels like a weekly basis. I'm constantly amazed at how lucky I am to work with such wonderful people!

April and Paige, Tuck's Point, Manchester-By-The-Sea Wedding

April and Paige met on the softball field after bumping into into each other in the outfield. Literally, they collided into one another which caused Paige to drop the ball and give April a dirty look. Of course, there were no hard feelings (but maybe a couple of bruises) and after the game they were more formally introduced. They ended up talking all night.

Who could have predicted that crash would change their lives forever?

That summer led to some pretty exciting adventures for the two of them. They've played softball (lots of softball), basketball, and flag football together. They’ve run road races, done the Warrior Dash, finished a triathlon, and biked over the Golden Gate bridge. They’ve driven from Washington, D.C. to Massachusetts and from Massachusetts to Florida. They even managed to do it without driving each other crazy!

They bought a house and made a home in Rockport where they spend a lot of their time sitting on the rocks and watching the ocean. It’s where they fell in love.

April and Paige's Tuck’s Point wedding in Manchester-By-The-Sea was held on a beautiful summer day in August that encompassed all the things that are so important to their story and their lives. There were softball bats, lawn games, the ocean, friends, and family. Most of all, there was laughter and love everywhere.

Lauren and Kate, Engagement Photos, Lake Quannapowitt, Wakefield, MA

Lauren and Kate are completely enamored with snow; it's one of their favorite things. Snow was one of the things that they wanted most of all for their engagement photos at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield, MA. They wanted as much snow as possible! We booked the engagement session for January in the hopes that a mid-winter date in Massachusetts would guarantee us some of the cold, white stuff. We came prepared with snow pants, mittens, and a sled.

When we met up at 1:00 in the afternoon, wouldn't you know, there was no snow. We maintained high hopes that the weather wouldn't let us down. We got started with a few photos and, just like magic, it started snowing. I guess if you wish for something hard enough it really might come true because we got more than just a few flurries. Once it started snowing, it didn't stop for quite some time. In fact, we ended up with a full-on blizzard and three feet of snow on the ground!

Lauren and Kate couldn't have been happier. Their winter snowy engagement photos are playful and fun, just like they are as a couple. Truth be told, even if the weather hadn't cooperated, I don't think anything would have gotten these two down. It was a beautiful shoot for a beautiful couple that included what they love most of all - each other.

Ashley and Mike, Danversport Yacht Club Wedding | Danvers, MA Wedding

On my birthday in October 2015, I was lucky enough to be a part of Ashley and Mike's wedding. Ashley and Mike's wedding was like something out of a movie. Ashley is a well-loved schoolteacher; Mike is a Beverly firefighter. They got married at Danversport Yacht Club in Danvers, MA in a gazebo directly overlooking the water.

Their day was full of laughter, music (courtesy of The Lisa Love Experience), dancing, and a special video message recorded by Ashley's students. It was an emotional day, with Mike's daughter playing an integral role in turning this couple into a family.

A classic firetruck made for a special limo and added a spectacular backdrop for our photos. I was touched when the band sang happy birthday to me at Ashley and Mike's request. There aren't a lot of brides and grooms who want to share the spotlight on their wedding day. It was an amazing wedding to be a part of and a birthday celebration I'll never forget.
