Wedding: Sex In The City Inspired Microwedding at the Mandarin Oriental

Who else loves a good Carrie Bradshaw moment? From her modern, structured dress (a nod towards Bradshawโ€™s wedding suit from her marriage to Big), to her navy blue Manolo Blahniks, our bride was picture perfect. We loved her classic white bouquet from Winston Flowers and the backdrop of the gorgeous Mandarin Oriental in downtown Bostonโ€ฆ

Wedding: Rainy Rustic Barn Wedding at Zorvino Vineyards

We photographed Jess and Jimmyโ€™s engagement session in 2019 before COVID was even a thing, so coming back together on their actual scheduled wedding date felt like nothing short of a miracle. It was a warm late fall day in Sandown, NH. Rain hung in the air, threatening to change the coupleโ€™s plans to have an outdoor ceremony (which it eventually did). That being said, we love a good grey New England day during the fall - just look at how the colors pop everywhereโ€ฆ

Wedding: Dark & Moody Halloween Microwedding at Hammond Castle

You canโ€™t ask for a more perfect wedding venue than historic Hammond Castle, which sits right on the water in Gloucester, MA. Everything about this incredible castle is absolute decadence, from the indoor courtyard to the massive main hall with ceilings as high as Hogwarts. We were so excited to photograph this spooky, moody, full moon microwedding for Monica and Robert this past Halloweenโ€ฆ

Editorial: Caught In a Snow Globe - A Modern Winter Elopement at The Liberty Hotel

The Liberty Hotel is a historic landmark in Boston. This former jail turned upscale hotel is located right next to the red line, the Charles River, and Beacon Hill, and of course not far from city hall, making it the perfect spot for your Boston Elopement. A snowy winter day, combined with the pandemic, made for a quiet lobby and one epic photo session

Engagement: Becca + Cory's Longwood Mall Engagement Session

This is one of my favorite โ€œhow did you meetโ€ stories ever! Becca and Cory met at their local yoga studio in Brookline. One day they were paired together at the end of class. The instructor gave everyone โ€œyoga buddiesโ€ and encouraged folks to get each otherโ€™s numbers and hang out after class. So they did, and sparks flewโ€ฆ

Family: Fun Fall Session at Minuteman National Park

Minuteman National Park is one of my favorite places to hold fall minis. The foliage is unbeatable and there are so many cute little spots for photos. This beautiful family opted for a full session which is always a lot of fun because we can really take our time and explore everything this amazing venue has to offer, and it gives us time to go with the flow which is so, so important for sessions with kids.

Our approach to family sessions is play oriented, and we always try to consider the perspective of the kiddo - where are they at, what do they need? - and we move at their pace. Trust me when I tell you that not all sessions with littles are easy, most parents really want their kids to listen 100% of the time (time they paid for!) and that doesnโ€™t always happenโ€ฆ.

Styled Shoot: Traditional Meets Modern for this Edgy Couple

Featured on Bespoke Bride + Dancing With Her.

When planning and designing weddings, we often find couples feel pressure to match their aesthetic to something that someone is telling them to be. Whether itโ€™s family saying it needs to be formal, Instagram telling them it should be light and airy, or a venue that says it needs to be on a farm and rustic. Our muses, a real couple named Rebecca and Maya, were bursting at the seams with personality. Their natural beauty, edgy style, glamorous demeanor, and queer love were all things that needed to be celebratedโ€ฆ

Wedding: Intimate Fall Microwedding at The Groton Inn

Ashley + Ben had the sweetest fall microwedding at The Groton Inn. Itโ€™s a place that holds special significance for these two lovebirds. The lawn behind the inn looks out onto the rolling pastures and gorgeous foliage that speckles Gibbet Hillโ€™s property. The farm and restaurant is where Ben proposed, and the castle beyond their pastures is where we shot their engagement photos last summerโ€ฆ

Wedding: Woodland Elopement Atop Hemlock Hill

Harvard Universityโ€™s Arnold Arboretum is a treasure trove of secret spots - from views of Boston at Peterโ€™s Hill to fields of wildflowers and tall grasses, hidden gardens and little ponds - and itโ€™s one of our favorite places to visit with clients. This couple chose the less-traveled Hemlock Hill as the spot for their elopement. Tucked away atop our little peak it was quiet and sereneโ€ฆ
