Kim and Anthony’s wedding came at the perfect time for me because I had just finished re-tiling my entryway with cement tile and couldn’t change my mind and buy the floor tile pattern at Glass House.
Read MoreI only got to spend a much-too-brief time with Catherine and John at their wedding - their priorities were absolutely correct to get married safely in front of family and friends, spend a quick time on the beach with me, and have a tiny socially distanced party in their yard.
Read MoreI joke that I take people to the nicest places, but hey! alleys have the best light/fewest cars, which is always a winning combo in Boston. I’ll admit that walking past Regina without stopping for a slice is borderline mean. Emily and Kyle let slip that they have a tiny kitty at home so we made sure to schedule time to meet the queen of tiktok, Snowcone!
Read MoreThe light that comes down the main streets in Boston and Brookline in the afternoon never ceases to amaze me, especially in the late fall. Add to that one tiny sled dog and a little pocket of park that ISN’T overrun with turkeys (incredible for Brookline!) and you have a priceless combination.
Read MoreBy the time of year I usually get to Charlestown to see this crew, the world’s fuzziest dog is pleased by how cold it’s become. Global warming is the enemy of the bernese mountain dog, but because he’s such a good boy he still allows lots of hugs and cuddles, even when it’s unseasonably 70.
Read MoreI almost always claim that I’ll be out on the dance floor because if I’m going to take pictures of you dancing, you’ll get to see my sweet moves - but apparently it takes two things to keep me slightly farther away: a pandemic, and the level of dance skills in these families.
Read MoreDespite my predictions about sweating through my shirt coming true (July and August in New England!), I’m so glad we took advantage of a steamy July morning right after sunrise for this family session.
Read MoreAlthough 2020 may have forced everyone’s hands into planning smaller weddings, it may have also given everyone permission for a level of closeness and informality that I hope never leaves. Airbnbs being the new venue of choice, food trucks and bbq for catering, dogs running loose, it doesn’t get any better!
Read MoreI would have been the smuggest person on earth to have planned the exact wedding I wanted and have it be completely pandemic-proof! These two didn’t have to change anything from their original plans despite what 2020 threw at them. 10 people at an airbnb with a food truck and a beach, perfection.
Read MoreWhen someone tells me “backyard wedding” my mind immediately thinks hot dogs, shorts, maybe a kiddie pool. I do NOT imagine a sailcloth tent, beautiful flowers and a full bar! Some people just know how to party.
Read MoreWhile some of my favorite times are inevitably when I get invited into someone’s home, working completely outside is a literal breath of fresh air.

A foggy north shore morning (the dream!), with two wonderful people getting married and an epic dance party.
Read MoreWhen it comes to weddings, having things come together according to plan is rarely the result of coincidence, but months and years of hard work by lots of people. Scheduling a wedding for peak foliage season and then getting it, along with streaming sunshine - well, that’s just a lovely coincidental icing on the cake (or doughnuts, in Emily and Will’s case). I realized how easy it was to get jaded about fall - in Boston it’s mostly ornamental but beautiful leaves, and a nice temperature change. Driving up to Tamworth for this wedding, though, was a re-introduction to real fall - and it just got lovelier once I started the day with Emily and Will and their plans.
Read MoreOne thing we talked the most about was their dog, Toby, and I may have spent as much time with him on their wedding day as I did Steph and Ryan. That’s just an explanation, in case you have a dog and I end up talking about and then spending more time with your dog(s) than you. Any “meeting” with me will inevitably devolve into a back and forth of our dog pictures, or should you currently be dog-less, of mine. So when Toby went out for a walk on the breakwater at Spring Point during Steph and Ryan’s reception, we took it as our cue to join him for some portraits.
Read MoreDespite growing up in southern Maine, I find that there are huge parts of it (most of it) that I’ve actually never seen. So when two of the kindest humans invite me to observe their stunning good taste in each other, locations, and decor, and witness their York wedding, I’m excited!
Read More“can you show me how to hop like a bunny?” was definitely the theme of this fun day in Cambridge.
Read MoreI mean, you just know any trip that starts with watching someone filming for the TLC show "before the 90 days" is going to be fantastic. Lebanon, you did not disappoint. I, however, am a bit disappointed in myself since I waited a casual 7 months to write this, so I'm reduced to listing a few funny anecdotes.
Read MoreOn a blisteringly hot day, where everyone was too happy and love-filled to notice or care, Kate and Jon’s wedding at Misselwood on the north shore had laughter, thunder, and a full re-enactment from Dirty Dancing (between dude friends).
