Even though I graduated in 1996 (ugh) and not 1997 this song is still what I think about when I think about graduating high school… Mary Schmich, Nigel Swanston, and Tim Cox and Baz Luhrmann talking to all of us over the radio. 20 years after this song was released, the message is still true to …
Give me a kiss to build a dream on, And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss. Sweetheart, I ask no more than this – A kiss to build a dream on. ~Louis Armstrong Jen & Semir’s Portsmouth Country Club Wedding was full of kisses and dreams. The love these two share was more …
Boston, MA Sunset Wedding is probably the understatement of the year. The sky put on a masterpiece the night Marie & Edgar got married. It must have known how amazing they are and how long awaited this wedding was! Thank you for the wedding wire love! It was a year ago when I went on …
I LOVE Aimee & Paul’s love story. As we walked around for their very fall Newburyport Engagement session I got to learn so much about them. I’m going to share their cliff notes of the way they met – but I swear if they wrote a short story or novel about their getting together and …

I love finding new venues! M&A’s The Commons 1854 wedding in Topsfield, MA left me in awe. The staff was incredible to work with, the food was delicious, and the grounds are simply stunning! The brides were, of course, even more stunning! And thank you for the wedding wire love! Every interaction was great, she …
Keep it in the family! Shawna & Jared were in touch with me about their wedding because I shot Shawna’s cousin Stephanie’s Dockside York ME wedding years ago! I love that Shawna’s mom remembered me and I was their first call! We had a great meet up at Epoch in Exeter and the next day …
Seacoast Fall Mini Sessions! Just as phrases like sweater weather, pumpkin spice (everything.. ew), and the first crisp evening of summer start to polka dot the interwebs, my inbox fills with requests of “are you doing fall mini sessions this year?” And every year the answer is an unequivocal, yes! As long as you …
The final image of these Newburyport Family Photos is one of the funniest images I’ve ever captured. It’s the stuff that memes are made of. This wonderful family dodged a few rain drops but with spectacular results. The dampness and the overcast skies made the just turned fall colors pop. There were plenty of leaves …
