Photographing Innia and Jack’s wedding at Cruiseport Gloucester was such a meaningful experience for me. Not only is Cruiseport a stunning waterfront venue on the North Shore, but I’ve also had the privilege of knowing Innia since we were younger. We met at church, and her family has always been incredibly kind and welcoming to me. Seeing her marry Jack, surrounded by so much love and joy, was truly special.

The day was filled with heartfelt moments and beautiful traditions. One of my favorite parts of the ceremony was the traditional Filipino rope-tying ritual. Close family members wrapped a rope, called a yugal, around Innia and Jack as a symbol of their bond and unity. It was such a touching element that beautifully honored their heritage and added even more depth to their vows.

As a North Shore local, I always feel at home photographing weddings in Gloucester. The coastal views and serene atmosphere make it the perfect backdrop for a celebration. Innia and Jack’s portraits along the waterfront were effortlessly romantic, with the sea breeze adding a touch of magic to their photos. 

The reception was a lively and family-focused affair, with so many sweet and fun moments that stood out. One that I’ll never forget was the father-daughter dance. It was so emotional that I may have shed a tear behind the lens! Watching Innia share that moment with her dad was a beautiful reminder of how much love and connection filled the day.

What I loved most about this wedding was how Innia and Jack stayed present and focused on their family and friends. They truly had fun—laughing, dancing, and cherishing every moment together. As a photographer, it’s such a joy to capture genuine emotions, and this wedding was overflowing with them.

Innia and Jack’s day at Cruiseport Gloucester was a celebration I’ll always remember, not just for its stunning setting but for the warmth and love that filled every moment. Thank you, Innia and Jack, for letting me be part of your beautiful day!

From the second I met Esther and Will over a Google Meet, I knew we would get along. They both have an infectious energy and laughter that lights up the room. Their beautiful wedding was at Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA. Surrounded by so many friends and family (and their dog Joji!) we celebrated their union. One of my favorite parts of Esther and Will’s wedding was how much you could tell that they were loved. Their vows had me in tears, and all their friends and family were celebrating together as one. They walked down the aisle to a rendition of “Leaves from the Vine” (IYKYK), and I definitely shed a tear.

Esther and Will’s wedding was a reminder that as hectic and stressful as wedding days can be, if you truly focus on the reason that you are there, everything will be ok.

You love each other. Everyone is here to celebrate you. Let’s party.

Phoebe and Tucker’s wedding was nothing short of magical. Held at a beautiful golf course on the Northshore, their day was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Phoebe and Tucker’s love story began at a college party. Their connection was instant and has only grown stronger over the years. Their wedding day was a joyful celebration of that love, surrounded by friends and family who adore them.

The Northshore golf course provided a gorgeous backdrop for their big day. With its lush greenery and expansive views, it was the perfect setting. As the sun set, the golden light added a romantic touch, making every moment even more special.

One of the most unique touches was the wooden flowers made by Phoebe’s mom. Each flower was handcrafted with love, adding a personal and beautiful element to the wedding decor. It was beautiful to see the personal elements and hard work that Phoebe’s family put into her wedding day.

Another unique element of their day was the cake cutting. Instead of opting for a regular wedding cake, Phoebe and Tucker shared a Banoffee Pie, “a British dessert pie made from bananas, whipped cream, and a thick caramel sauce, combined either on a buttery biscuit base or one made from crumbled biscuits and butter.” With Phoebe’s family being from England, and this being the first dessert that she made for Tucker when they met, this seemed like the perfect fit.

Phoebe and Tucker’s wedding was a beautiful blend of love, family, and personal touches. I am  honored to have captured these memories for them, preserving the magic of their special day forever.
