Melina & Josh's intimate autumn elopement at Arnold Arboretum

Melina and Josh traveled from New York to see their family and celebrate their wedding. They opted to elope in Arnold Aboretum, one of my favorite spots in Boston. They invited each of their family members to find a leaf in the park and present it to the couple with their reason for selecting the leaf. It was a simple way to invite everyone to contribute a memory to the wedding and it was so, so joyful. I may or may not have gotten them lost in the park for 20 minutes following as we tried to find our way back to the cars - but it was for the best as we hit the most incredible light just as we exited onto the sidewalk!

Tracy & Sam's DIY backyard wedding in Medford, MA

Tracy and Sam and I connected just weeks before their wedding. We have some wonderful mutual friends - and Sam’s band had played shows with my band before - so we knew we’d hit it off. What I didn’t know was that Tracy has a clever sense of design that she used to craft their gorgeous day.

Irene & Will's Autumn Campground Wedding

One of the best kind of days with old friends at Camp Quinebarge in New Hampshire. John Prine sing alongs, pitchers of old fashioneds, troubadour groomsmen, skinny dipping bridesmaids, and a 99-year old grandmother dancing the night away in the barn.

Irene & Will, what a dream.

Alex & Lex's Summer Wedding at the Herb Lyceum in Groton, MA

For years, I’ve admired The Herb Lyceum from afar, convinced we were meant to work together.

How fortunate that my first time on site was for the ever lovely Lex and Alex, who spent part of her youth growing up on the farm. Her sentimentality for the spot was evident and made this wedding just that much more special. It was 100 degrees out and still one of my all-time favorites.

The couple asked that I shoot some 35mm for their day, too, so a handful of those film images are scattered throughout this gallery.

Megan & Sydney DIY Backyard Wedding & Night Shift Brewing Reception

On some days, the joy is absolutely palpable. Megan & Sydney had to change their venue something like 5 times before ultimately deciding to just elope in their backyard followed by a bagel brunch and, later, a celebration with friends at a local brewery. It was about as perfect as these days get.

Sarah & Carlos June Wedding Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation in Waltham, MA

The first time Sarah, Carlos and I met in person, we admitted to one another that we were really excited to work together. We just knew we’d hit it off.

This was such a great day on all fronts. Fun people, DIY goodness, great vendors, sweet friends and family, and a killer dance floor. I feel so lucky to have been there.
