Rachel and Scott Get Married!

It was deja vu, a flashback to three years ago when I had the honor to photograph the wedding of Sarah and Del at a very similar camp in northern Maine. This time think vintage elegance with a perfect bride in one of the most stunning lace gowns I have ever seen. Add an adoring husband and 170 friends who came ready to party and you've got one amazing night. Even the rain couldn't dampen the event, making for some amazing photographs. A huge shout out and thank you to Kendra Engel, an inspiration and a major help covering a lot of ground including a few of the shots below. Congratulations, Rachel and Scott!

Emily and Pat - Engagement Photographs

Meeting up with Pat and Emily, I think we were all a little nervous... I wanted to capture something really special for one of my dearest friends, and they were just in the beginning of this whole wedding journey, excited and anxious for all that will unfold this year. They brought me to the Rockland Town Forest in Rockland, MA, the site of one of their very first dates. Since then, their family has grown to include Harry, a happy go lucky black lab mix. We had a great time in the setting summer sun. I can't wait to celebrate with Em and Pat next June!

Bristol and Hal, Engagement Photographs

I've known Bristol for years as a teacher, but her start in science happened long ago, in college, when she was a horticulture intern at Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain. You can't imagine how happy I was when Bristol and Hal allowed me to take them on a fun walk through this meaningful green space on a beautiful, sunny summer evening. They'll be getting married in December, and you'll never see a better group of teachers throw a party. Congratulations, Bristol and Hal!

M+S - Love on a Mountaintop

Three years ago I drove across the country to Montana, enjoying every mile. This time around, I skipped the drive and hopped on a plane, but still experienced that same level of excitement as I touched down in Kalispell, MT, surrounded by large, snowy peaks. There is something magical about a wedding in that part of the world - and I felt so fortunate to be there to be celebrating with my cousin Marty, his beautiful wife Sandy, and their amazing children. Take a peek:

Welcome Baby Isabelle

Joe and Cheryl welcomed their baby girl Isabelle home three weeks ago, and have been on the move ever since. She has been a very busy baby, keeping her parents laughing as they maneuver their way through the challenges of first-time parenting. I had the privilege to spend some time with the family and see Joe in full daddy mode, changing diapers, burping, and sneaking in lots of snuggle time. Enjoy!
