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.

Casey & Tim's Rustic Backyard Wedding

Casey, Tim and I connected through a mutual friend, but I was unavailable for their original date. When the pandemic forced them to change their date, they reached out again. And thank goodness they did because, finally, something good came out of the pandemic: one of my favorite weddings of all time.

Andrea & Eric, Funky Arlington Town Hall Wedding

After Andrea and Eric hired me for their wedding, Andrea added me on Instagram - and I instantly became their biggest fan. They are truly hilarious, kind, and so in love. We spent their engagement shoot sauntering around Union Square in Somerville, they canoodled for a bit in the chip aisle of Market Basket, and we took one of my favorite shots in front of a closed pizza and sub shop.

Their wedding was just as wonderful - and food-centric. Chips (of Lays, Cheeto & Dorito varieties) lined the guests’ tables, a stack of Oreos accompanied the wedding cake, and Mei Mei’s meals were unbelievable.

Andrea and Eric’s families were so inviting, their first look made me cry, and their first dance was the most memorable (and most difficult to photograph) yet.

Thanks for always making me laugh, Andrea & Eric. I was completely thrilled to be a part of your day.

Angie & Steve, Wedding @ Tinkhamtown Chapel (Mattapoisett) and Black Walnut Inn (Plympton)

I have been talking about this wedding just about non-stop since October. Still, the only words I can come up with to describe are “a complete dream.” A heartfelt, intimate ceremony in the cutest little chapel followed by a warm, happy, twinkle light-lit outdoor reception (in mid-October!). When I mentioned to Steve how incredible everything looked, he attributed it to his wife, Angie. He said that she has a vision of how things should look, then puts in all the hard work to make that vision a reality. I think it really paid off on this day in particular. Congratulations Angie & Steve!
