Someone who can combine garden roses, succulents, driftwood and custom Lego people is someone I need in my life. They may be someone I have begged to let me join their family (and chances are that person is nice enough to say "OK!" and not roll their eyes at me). Elina and Dan invited their friends and family down to Nashville for their wedding weekend and I was so grateful to be on hand to document their day and to have a chance to see a little bit of the city (translation - the inside of the hot chicken place).

Kristen and Travis - Dunes Club Rhode Island Wedding Photography
When I left Boston the morning of Kristen and Travis's wedding, the weather forecast was a series of scary looking clouds and lightning bolts. Somewhere along 95 on the way to Rhode Island the sun emojis changed their attitudes, and by the time I pulled up to the Dunes Club I parked, squinted outside in the sun, checked the weather again and saw the suns wearing sunglasses. I'll take it! The remnants of the hurricane (HUGE waves) provided some pre-wedding relaxation (probably not the right word) for the body-surfing groomsmen. Further signs I'm getting old include me biting my nails watching them, fretting that this probably wasn't safe. From the surf break to the weight room, the guys got ready on one side of the Dunes Club while the ladies had a awesomely preppy- Palm Beach-esque suite. It's never fair, guys, but when life hands you a gym to get ready in, you go with it!

in Wedding
It's always a great sign for me when I find myself actively wondering during a wedding, "how is the best way to get one of these families to adopt me?". The great part of Caroline and Bryan's wedding - aside from the warmth, love, steak (thanks guys!) and really everything else - was how genuinely nice every single person in and at that wedding was. It made the day so meaningful and fun. Caroline and the ladies got ready at a gorgeous restored cottage in Dartmouth, then we moved to New Bedford for the ceremony and party at the New Bedford Whaling Museum. This place is so fun.

Clare and Matt - Michigan Wedding Photography
Where to even begin with Matt and Clare's wedding. The midwest has charmed me again! On the way over in the morning, I pulled the car over countless times to observe/photograph/pick wildflowers and shake my head at how beautiful Michigan is. Combine that with the most welcoming and laid back wedding party, friends and family, unfettered use of the golf carts (!!!), people willing to bring me lunch, feed me buttered rolls and palm me tiny bottles of wine (you guys know who you are - love you) and you get some of the fantastic experience.
Read MoreTodd & Emily - Sutliff Cider Iowa Wedding Photography
Todd and Emily got married at Sutliff Cider in Iowa - a state where I frankly did not know what to expect, having only experienced a drive by of the quad cities a decade ago. It turns out that Iowa City is a beautiful, shockingly friendly haven of ultra-cool. There were cornfields on the way in, sure, but I don't think that's what I'll be remembering.
