Ainsley & Anderson's Pandemic Elopement at Quincy City Hall in Quincy, MA

Anderson DM’d me on Instagram three days before their wedding, asking if I was available to photograph their elopement. We had met when I photographed their engagement at the end of 2018. They had to postpone their big wedding celebration for a year due to COVID-19, but - as Ainsley so succinctly put it - “We were really ready to be married.”

So happy to get to be there for one of the most joyful unions.

Trang & Alex's Reception at Eleanor Cabot Bradley Estate in Canton, MA

Trang and Alex’s wedding day went through so many transformations before they finally decided to marry in a private ceremony and celebrate in a big old party at the beautiful Eleanor Cabot Bradley Estate.

It was the perfect decision.

It rained all day, forcing everyone on to the dance floor to warm up, where Young Love & the Thrills kept them moving all night.

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!

Stephanie & Christopher, Wedding @ The Old Lantern Inn & Barn in Charlotte, Vermont

Stephanie & Christopher, Wedding @ The Old Lantern Inn & Barn in Charlotte, Vermont

I've known for Steph for 15 years. In the past year, in part due to her reaching out regarding wedding photography, we have reconnected, and I am so happy about it.  Chris and she are a perfect match. They are kind, smart, and full of love for their families, their friends, humanity, and one another. Their rustic, mid-April wedding was met with cold winds, harsh sunlight, and a certainty that none of those things would mess with their day.  From an orienteering course for their guests to Chris's family hopping in with the wedding band, their wedding was full of fun, full of love, and simply the best way to kick off my 2018 season. Cheers to two of the best!

Emily & Justin, Wedding @ Sandos Caracol Eco Resort in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

Emily & Justin, Wedding @ Sandos Caracol Eco Resort in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

Emily & Justin assured me I'd love Mexico, and wow. I really did.

But beyond falling in love with the gorgeous landscape, kind people & really cool culture, I got to witness one of the most stunning weddings of all time. 50 of their closest family & friends traveled down for the occasion and made me feel completely welcome. Emily made her dress, her accessories, the dresses of her bridesmaids & both mothers, her husband's suit, all of the favors, and all of the decorations, so there was a cohesive and intimate beauty in every detail.

And... I just think everyone should get to laugh this much on their wedding day. Justin and Emily have that really wonderful, really happy love. It was awesome to be trusted to capture it.
