We basically get a front row seat to a high-end fashion show every weekend. Jeannie and Duk Hwan were no exception.

Yes, we really said it. 🙈
An outdoor venue is great....
Unless it is rainy, snowy, buggy, humid, fire season, loud, cold, or windy.

So in New England, you better love your indoor plan.

Well look at that. If it isn't the perfect day to feature Joel and Claire. Happy anniversary to these two.

They are the true definition of a partnership.
Their love for each other and their gratitude for their friends and family and network around them were emanating from every part of their beings on their wedding day.

I hope they have a wonderful anniversary celebration.
Simply unforgettable!

It's hot as Hades out there so excuse us while we're dreaming of romantic and cozy winter weddings. ❄️

December is actually the GOAT because it's perfectly cool and crisp, off season, and very unlikely to significantly snow.

This particular couple embraced the holiday spirit. 🎄 Dreamy.

Today I learned that one negative voice can never outweigh the support of many people who care for and respect you.

A perfect reminder that no one person can make a dent in the convictions of your heart.

That's my advice for today.
And not to hold on to things for years and years.
Be like these beautiful flowers and be here and present in the moment.

Steph and Julia had one of the most memorable weddings of my career so far, for all the right reasons.

Their love and joy emanated and they shared their emotions without hesitation.

Their attention to detail was unmatched with hundreds of candles, the most thoughtful parent memorial, DIY desserts from their own bakery, and Harry Potter coffee table books.

The surprises abounded. Bride performances (ahem 🪄), a surprise first-dance redo for Steph's sister and her husband, who got married during COVID. Oh, and a t-shirt toss! (See last pic)

Their generosity and appreciation for the team who made it happen was beyond thoughtful.

Still thinking about these two, their love story, and our small role in it on the regular!

They called it magic on Main Street.
They wanted something intimate, unique, and simple.
They laughed and cried and partied.
And they did it their way.

Erin and Ryan, we love you right back! Thank you for the chance to be at the heart of this moment in your love story.

Oh hey. It's been a minute since our gorgeous red wall has graced our feed.

Ok so it's not OUR red wall technically but it's the building next door and I don't think anyone has ever looked at it the way we have over the last few years.

This small downtown is filled to the brim with stunning backdrops for your portraits.

Pro tip: find a photographer who can see it all.
