A few favorites from Joanna & Rory’s Charlestown wedding this month. Such a treat to work with such a phenomenal couple, vendor team and location (Charlestown you have my heart!) And what better way to spend a little time with your new spouse than on a boat between the ceremony and reception?

Our amazing team was headed up by the incredible and featured:

I just shared Mary & Marc’s teaser slideshow with them and wanted to get some favorites up on the grid. First, some from Mary’s pre-ceremony time.

ALSO I don’t share them very often but I do take detail photos. I’ve been working really hard on my styling as it does NOT come easily to me, and I think this is my favorite one yet! I mean, how beautiful is this invitation suite?!

I also made this backdrop using some velvety material, Pellon stabilizer, and a sewing machine. I’m actually pretty crafty (I’ve had many crafty hobbies over the past few years) and it was fun being able to make a backdrop that is unique to me. I’m hoping to have a bunch of these backdrops by the end of the season … let me know if you want a quick reel tutorial on how to make them!

Amazing team of vendors for this one:

The sweetest first look at this joyful, heartfelt wedding at the Rand-Bryan House in Raleigh, NC a couple weeks ago. I had my wonderful friend Joe Appel photograph this wedding with me, and the last photo in this set is his. Thank you, Miriam & Eli, for trusting me to document your celebration, we absolutely loved working with you!

It's been exactly a full year since my last grid post, so I figured I should post something fun to get things going again. Let me know what you think! I'm obsessed with this installation by ...

Rebeca + Sergio recently celebrated their marriage with friends and family at the ICA Boston and it was a day filled with so much love, and laughter, and color. These two are super smart, very entertaining, and wear their hearts on their sleeves. It was an absolute joy to document their celebration!

My wonderful colleagues included: and - Rebeca's dress has an amazing back story that involved two visits to Rome over the past 18 months!

This strange year has resulted in me photographing several of my very favorite type of wedding: super intimate. Katie & Pat married on Saturday in front of 20 of their nearest and dearest, and it was utterly magical.

I started coverage with the ceremony; they married on the sunny deck of Scituate Maritime Center. In addition to their immediate families seated on the deck, they had the amazing surprise of two boats full of extended family and friends watching from below - much to everyone's delight! They had signs, loud cheers, and even blown up photos of Katie and Pat which they waved throughout the evening!
~
It was so hard picking just a handful of images to sum up this perfect evening ... but I had to include Katie and her dad right before the ceremony ... a well dressed nephew crawling around mid vows ... the audience of friends in their powerboat below the deck ... the sweetest first dance ... and a sunset boat ride around the prettiest harbor complete with horn tooting, cheers, and a bottle of V***e.

Thank you Pat, Katie, and your wonderful families for trusting me to document this very special occasion for you - I can't wait for next year's party! @ Scituate Maritime Center

This past week, I photographed a tiny wedding at the - my first Covid-19 wedding. It was tiny and beautiful, intimate and thoughtful, emotional and sweet. These two lovely brides have postponed their reception to next year, but invited their immediate families to witness their marriage this year.

These are a few of my favorite moments, and a portrait to start off.

Congratulations Lauren & Alyse, and thank you for having me be a part of this perfect morning with you. ❤️ @ Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University
