"STORIES OF US"

here to document

These are the memories you'll pass down for generations. They'll be the ones you reach for when asked, "What were you like when you fell in love?" as you reminisce on old times. Every moment captured tells a part of your history, preserving the genuine emotions and connections that define your love & life.

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.

From the moment I got to know Moriah and Rodrigue, I could tell their journey to the altar would be just as unique as they are. This fun-loving couple didn’t just have one wedding—they went all out! They eloped in the Boston Commons, had an epic Adventure Elopement captured by the legendary Henry Tieu Photography, and then brought all their friends and family together for a beautiful church wedding in Boston, followed by a lively reception at Pagu restaurant in Cambridge.

Moriah and Rodrigue are the kind of couple that brings so much energy and joy to everything they do. Despite all the amazing adventures they’d already had, what mattered most to them was celebrating with their friends and having a great time.

Their day was full of laughter, love, and pure celebration, a perfect reminder that when you focus on the people around you, every moment becomes unforgettable.

From the second I met Nicole and PJ, I could tell how in love they were. These two high school sweethearts had such a calm and joyful energy, even with the forecast calling for rain on their big day. I was second shooting with Alisha Norden Photography, and when they asked whether to move the ceremony indoors, Alisha and I encouraged them to keep it outside. They trusted us, and as if by magic, the rain stopped just as the ceremony began.

Nicole and PJ’s wedding day turned out to be absolutely beautiful. The sky cleared, and the love and happiness surrounding them were undeniable. One of my favorite things about their day was how relaxed and in-the-moment they were. They didn’t let the weather phase them—they were just thrilled to be marrying each other, rain or shine.

Their wedding was a beautiful reminder that when you’re focused on what truly matters—your love for one another—everything has a way of falling into place.

From the second I met Katie and Nat, I knew their love was something special. These high school sweethearts have explored the world together, and their wedding felt like a perfect reflection of their adventurous, yet laid-back spirits. I had the pleasure of second shooting this beautiful day with Alisha Norden Photography at the stunning Crane Estate in Ipswich, right by the water.

Katie’s dress was simple and elegant, perfectly matching the relaxed coastal vibe of the day. Their ceremony, with the backdrop of the ocean and that cool sea breeze, couldn’t have been more perfect. It was clear that their love, strengthened over years of adventures, was the heart of this celebration. The day was filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and the unmistakable joy of two people deeply in love.

Katie and Nat’s wedding was a reminder that simplicity, elegance, and focusing on what matters most—each other—makes for the most unforgettable day.
