Chris & Crystin say I DO – Hampton NH Victoria Inn Spring Wedding

Sometimes words aren’t enough but there was no shortage of emotion for Chris and Crystin at their Victoria Inn Hampton, NH Wedding. My wife and I have had the privilege of knowing Chris for over a decade. Always ready for a good hug, a great beer, and adventure and a laugh, running into him on purpose or accidentally was the bright spot in any day. A few years back he reconnected with Crystin. Their parents

You’re My Pic(nic) – NH Summer Engagement Session

Simple By The Sea – A NH Elopement

Sometimes the simplicity of an elopement seems to slow time. Without the gathering of a crowd or the hustle of a schedule, every step of a micro-wedding feels more intentional, every look is more intimate. This St. Andrews by the Sea NH elopement for Carlos and Lauren was no exception. In attendance: the couple, the chaplain, the harpist, and me! My personal love for elopments stems from an appreciation of the intimacy and in knowing

Cake on the Cliffs – An Ogunquit Maine Elopement

Falling For You – NH LGBTQ Engagement Session

The leaves had just begun to turn in New Hampshire as we explored the Albany Covered Bridge and the Lower Fall on the Kancamangus for this cozy LGBTQ engagement session. We were trying for sunset, but the perfectly moody clouds had a different idea. They brought all the atmosphere you could need though. With all the genuine, playful, ‘I’ve found my person’ emanating from each of them, I could have hung out with these two

Nubble Light Surprise Proposal – Maine Proposal Photos

A Sunset and a Stroll – NH LGBTQ engagement session

The joy was palpable and the light was magic in this LGBTQ engagement session. What more could you ask for in an engagement session? A champagne toast, of course! From beginning to end, every moment of this session was wrapped in the warmest feelings of comfort and celebration.
