The Gardiner House in Newport, RI provided the perfect backdrop for Meaghan and Derek’s September wedding.

I had a so much fun working in the bold, cozy bar area, witnessing the outdoor ceremony tucked between the reception and Newport Harbor, and using classic New England hydrangeas for their family photo background. Also don’t miss scrolling to the last photo to see the sunset backdrop for their perfect reception room!

Aarthi and Evan shared their vows in the exact spot on Block Island”s Mohegan Bluffs where Evan’s parents were married 40 years ago to the day. A beautiful tribute to family in the place that has always meant to much to them.

We were able to use the iconic Mohegan Bluffs and even their family’s signature staircase to create portraits, with Aarthi beaming as she managed her dress on stairs and sand - Block Island brides IYKYK!

We did move the event one day because of weather and I’m so glad it all worked out like it did. Island weddings, and their vendors, need wiggle room and I was happy to provide that. Keeping space for mother natures surprises is one of the things that makes photographing on Block Island so unique. I look forward to more ferry trips in 2027!

Today’s is wedding day for Danielle and Brian! I spent some time reviewing their stunning engagement photos and going over notes about what their favorite images were, which helps me to customize the way I shoot for their wedding. I’ll have to remember to add some leafy foreground as I’m working on their portraits today!

From engagement photos at Borderland State Park in Easton Mass to the Lord Thompson Manor in Thompson Connecticut, I feel very lucky to have been chosen to work with this incredibly sweet couple đź’•

See you in a few hours!

Gallery delivery day for Janice & Sean! Their wedding day included the incredible energy of their daughter and a love language for their guests through lots of group portraits. The importance of making each guest feel special was continued through their individually selected unique coffee mugs to suit everyone’s personalities and interests. How sweet is that?

The flowers at this event were truly fantastic! I’d recommend Anthomanic Floral Co. - Boston Based Floral Design without hesitation. Stunning florals!

Shoutout to Saphire Event Group | Massachusetts Wedding Venues and their Walpole MA location AVENIR for a great event!

Sarah and Jason turned Remnant Brewing Satellite Brewing in Cambridge, Mass into their perfect wedding space! Intimate portraits, a ceremony in the charming ivy-covered B**r Garden, and an incredible family-style food experience that together created the perfect atmosphere.

I had gotten to know Sarah and Jason through remote meetings before jumping right into their portraits on the wedding day. After walking into the space, three spots in particular caught my eye and after photographing in all of them I can’t decide which worked out the best! For an intimate space, Satellite has a beautiful variety of visual opportunities. A hidden gem!

These images were taken last fall in one of my most memorable sessions of 2025!

A friend group flew in from all over the country to come together in Newport for a week of re-connection, relaxation and celebration! I love that they thought to hire a photographer (of course!) because lifelong friendship deserves its own moment đź’•

Ladies I’m so impressed that against all odds you managed to get the group trip out of the chat and into real life 👏

Would you do love to do this with your friends?

A headshot series that was part of a girls week away - how fun is that?!!

A warm-up for their group photos (see next post), each was planning to use their portrait for something different - work, volunteering, personal use, just for fun!

My favorite part was seeing them cheer each other on as everyone had their turn in front of the camera. Cheers to lifelong friendships and support systems!

Surprise proposal perfection at Ocean House ❤️

Every surprise proposal is a little different, taking custom planning. For this one I was positioned on the beach before the couple arrived, and he suggested a quick walk on the beach before their reservation. The story was a good one - they were “meeting friends” but the friends were running late (it was really me he was texting!). We pulled off the surprise with the gorgeous Watch Hill lighthouse that they love in their photos. She wore the perfect plum dress that popped against both the beach tones and also against the iconic yellow of Ocean House.

The second surprise was a planned video call where she learned that he had included the kids in the moment and the enjoyed some face to face time with their beautiful new family đź’• (swipe to see her reaction!)

Location: Ocean House in historic Watch Hill, Westerly, Rhode Island. Thanks to the incredible staff at the Ocean House for helping us to pull off the best surprise moment!
