Latest comment from a recent couple. Thank you!

Forty miles east of my first engagement shoot, and just a few hours later, the temperature dropped by 20 degrees along the ocean for my session with CJ and his bride-to-be, Katy. We met at Crane Beach in Ipswich, MA, where we kicked off the session with some playful shots in the sand. Afterward, we explored the trails and switched to a more seasonal wardrobe for some fun photos. I’m looking forward to capturing their wedding moments next year!

Autumn is a wonderful season for photoshoots, with vibrant scenery and stunning background colors. Today, despite the summer-like temperatures, Scott, my future groom, was feeling the heat in his flannel, expecting the typical October chill of 45 degrees rather than the surprising 80! This afternoon, a sweet couple, Scott and Louisa, met at Great Brook Farm State Park for their complimentary engagement session. It didn’t take long to get into the flow—this couple was so natural and comfortable in front of the camera. Capturing their happiness and joy was a breeze!

Final preview for the wedding of Alex and Rohan on top of Loon Mountain on a great fall day!!

I had the pleasure of wrapping up October with Adam and Eduardo's beautiful wedding in a charming backyard-style setting in Westford, MA. Despite the warmth of the day, the vibrant fall colors were on full display, creating a stunning backdrop. It was a truly enjoyable day for everyone. Best wishes to the happy couple!

Amid the breathtaking fall scenery of Loon Mountain, Alex and Rohan came together in a beautiful union that celebrated the blending of two vibrant cultures. Every moment of their wedding day was filled with joy, love, and a sense of togetherness that was truly inspiring to witness. Spending the day with this wonderful couple, who radiated warmth and happiness, was an absolute pleasure. Their love was as stunning as the surroundings, making them a dream to photograph. Congratulations to Alex and Rohan on their unforgettable wedding in New Hampshire!

Primo and Alicia's final wedding day preview.

A gorgeous couple and day the final preview for Jayme and Marquee at Church Landing in Meredith, NH.

Just a few days after shooting a wedding, I was back at The Groton Inn for Bill and Kim’s engagement shoot. The scenery was completely different, with gorgeous evening sunlight replacing the rain from the other day. We took a lovely stroll around the property and captured some stunning shots of this photogenic couple. Their wedding is set for next year, and it’s sure to be something special.

The wedding of Tanner and Hillary wrapped up my whirlwind weekend of celebrations, and it couldn’t have ended on a higher note. It was such a joy to see Hillary so excited on her big day, ready to marry the love of her life. She was glowing with happiness as they exchanged vows outdoors, just as the rain finally cleared after a few days. The beautiful venue, paired with the stunning surroundings, made for some truly memorable portraits. Congratulations to you both.

You know what they say—rain on your wedding day brings good luck! It rained for just a brief moment on mine, and now here we are, one year strong. Huge congratulations to Primo and his beautiful bride, Alicia, on their wedding day at the picturesque Groton Inn. The venue offered stunning photo opportunities in every direction.

I’m not sure what had Primo more excited—marrying the woman of his dreams or seeing his dream car in their wedding photos! Thanks for making it such a fun day. Interestingly enough, this is the second wedding in a row where a classic car played a starring role in the memories captured!

The wind played a big role in our wedding photos today, but capturing the beautiful couple, Quinn and Christina, was an absolute breeze! We started at The Common Man Inn & Spa in Plymouth and made our way to the church in Laconia, experiencing a whirlwind of joyful moments along the way. The fun-loving wedding party added to the excitement, and it was a blast watching them celebrate and dance the night away. Stay tuned for more preview photos!

Today in Meredith, NH, the crisp fall air set the perfect backdrop for Jayme and Marquee's exchange of wedding vows at Church Landing. It was such a joy to be with this amazing couple—fun, down-to-earth, and truly embracing the day as it unfolded. We explored the beautiful surroundings, capturing stunning photos with the lake in the distance and hints of fall foliage. Wishing them all the best as they begin their journey together as husband and wife.

Although I had to power through some rough Massachusetts traffic to make it to my second engagement shoot of the day, Kylie and Trevor made it all worthwhile! I arrived just in time to catch the perfect light, including my signature sunburst shot between the two of them. It was such a pleasure spending those few moments together, and I’m excited to capture their wedding next May!

Today's golden engagement session at Maudslay State Park in Newburyport was simply magical. The autumn leaves created a radiant backdrop for Hoa and Tim's fall photoshoot. Strolling through the park, we found some truly unique spots and captured stunning moments. I can't wait to see them again when they exchange their vows in 2025!

This afternoon, I had the pleasure of meeting Emily and Victor for their engagement photo session at the beautiful Tower Hill Botanical Garden. The shoot lasted about an hour, giving us plenty of time to connect, share some laughs, and capture their genuine personalities and the love they share. With a hint of fall foliage peeking through, the natural beauty around us added just the right touch to enhance the photos—though their connection hardly needed any extra help!

Up in North Conway this weekend took the girls to Diana's Bath for a little trail walk and waterfalls.
