Melissa and Dan had an idea for their engagement session, and it veered far from the more common outdoor, golden hour shoot. They wanted a moody/romantic, glam and dramatic session at their wedding venue. They wanted to dress up, go to their wedding venue (Cedar Brook Farm), deck the place with fairy lights, and create something special. Challenge, accepted. I LOVED their styling and pre-planning because it made my job that much more creative and satisfying. Understanding their vision and bringing it to life was SO MUCH FUN. (It didn't hurt that they're both fabulous in front of the camera an ..read more

After a brief break from shooting, I couldn't have asked for a more easy-going, kind couple to start off my 2022 engagement shoots. I drove up to Boston and spent the afternoon walking around the North End with Lauren and Nick, making them stop every few seconds because a sunny day after a snow storm in a city like Boston has magical light around every corner. We had a blast. CANNOT wait for their unique celebration this summer ..read more

It's so much fun when a couple wants to incorporate a place as part of their engagement storytelling. The location becomes a third character in the visual tale we're telling. Hillary and Sophie wanted to make New York City a prominent focus in their engagement session without having a completely urban-feeling shoot, and they decided Central Park was the perfect place to accomplish this. There's so many awesome things I could say about these two--wickedly smart, insanely kind and generous of spirit--but I'll just leave it at this. I sometimes feel, when meeting potential clients, that I've kno ..read more

I love it equally when people get all fancy and dressed up (fun occasion! yay!) and when they show up and say, photograph us as we are.This is how we are. This is how we want to remember this moment in our lives. Priya and Ben have a vibe that's about as laid-back as my own. They're so easy to be with and had such a simple request for their engagement session: we want photos that feel true to US. We had a cold, blustery day in early winter, and with that simple directive in mind, we got some of my favorite images from 2021. I'm so looking forward to your wedding ..read more

After already having to reschedule their wedding due to Covid, Emily and Jesse's plans were further thwarted when, a year later, their venue up and decided to cancel their second date, leaving them high and dry and with the sad decision to just call it a day and scrap the idea of a big wedding reception. I know this was painful (so many things about the past few years have been). But, in typical fashion, they decided to make the best of a shitty situation. And can I just say--these were some of the most fun, least stressful wedding photos I have ever taken. They decided to get all dolled up i ..read more

Elana and Sean are so damn cute together. We had a blast at their Edgerton Park engagement session. They crack each other up (which you know I LOVE photographing) and are incredibly sweet and tender with each other. They got married last year in a small backyard ceremony, but I have the joy of being able to photograph their 2022 reception ..read more

Haley and Will are SO DAMN CUTE together it's impossible not to be happy around them. Just seeing them together made me smile. There's few things I like more than when I see partners who build each other up with every smile, touch, and whispered little joke. Their relationship is SO MUCH FUN to document (as you can probably tell) and I cannot wait to see them again at their wedding ..read more

Kerry and Pat were some of the first people we met in New Haven and have been involved in similar activism/education groups over the past few years, but this was the first time I got to spend solo time with just the two of them. They are busy, involved, deeply caring people with serious roots in New Haven; they have full careers and three kids and a house and all the things associated with having so many responsibilities. And they were celebrating their ten-year wedding anniversary. Uncharacteristically, they wanted to do something totally FOR THEM. So, they dressed up in their wedding clothe ..read more

Michelle and Dan wanted their engagement session to also include Michelle's daughter and their dog, and boy did we have an adventure. It was hilarious, sweet, romantic, and silly, and to top it off we got PEAK color last Fall. These guys are a blast. Can't wait for their wedding ..read more

Stacey and Nick are one of 'those' couples--the kind of pair that seems to have come out of the ether together, so perfectly matched they are. We had a blast traipsing across the Yale Campus and made our way to Edgerton Park for their late-Fall engagement session. I am beyond pumped for their KICK-ASS Vermont wedding next Fall ..read more
