:: October 2015 Archive ::

Years ago, Tim and Samantha both (separately) chose summer jobs at Lynch Park in Beverly. Little did they know that this decision would ultimately lead them to meeting each other, developing a relationship, and on to real deal true love. Fittingly, these two wanted their engagement pictures captured back at the place where it all began. Very romantic if you ask me! We met up on a very chilly night and wandered through the rose garden and the beach. Samantha and Tim have such an effortless companionship and their happiness is contagious. I love how important it was for Tim to make his future bride feel great in all the pictures-it certainly shows. Tim & Samantha…next October will be here before we know it and I can’t wait!

From the first second of meeting Ryan and Amy, I knew these two were something special. The more we chatted, the more our personalities seemed to click. These two are both warm and welcoming, upbeat, and all around easy to be around. We met up recently at Endicott Park to take some engagement pictures, catch up on wedding plans, and hang out with their cute dog Skipper! Even the horses that roam the pastures at this beautiful spot couldn’t help but want to join us (which might sound cheesy to some, but it’s true!). What a great night. I am so excited to share the images from our time together, and even more excited for their wedding next June in Ipswich!

Arriving at Smolak Farms on a busy fall Saturday, I was greeted by throngs of apple and pumpkin pickers, donuts and cider in hand. A small sign led me behind the orchards to a beautiful opening where Diana and Joe were waiting to celebrate and say “I do.” To get married in September surrounded by orchards on all sides is truly special. Moments before walking down the aisle, Diana stood with her father in one of the rows of trees, hidden from the crowd. As she turned the corner, Joe’s reaction was hands down one of my favorites of all time. These two share such a genuine and effortless love for one another…something that is so rare and awesome to watch. As the reception started, the air cooled down. Guests warmed up near a bonfire and by letting loose on the dance floor. What a day! Joe and Diana…thank you for letting me in and being so fun to work with. Can’t wait to show you the rest!

Photographing an event at the Crane Estate has been on my wish list for quite some time. A few weeks ago, I had the honor of capturing Zack & Sarah’s wedding day, which was an elegantly chic Gatsby-meets-2015 affair! What a joy it was to document the joy these two share. Some highlights of the day include a very sweet first look, a Rolls-Royce ride down to the casino for bridal party portraits, Sarah’s maid of honor writing and performing a song just for her friend’s big day (unbelievable!), photo booth shenanigans, and lots of crazy dance moves. The ladies at Whim Events created spectacular blooms which looked extra beautiful next to the handiwork of the Darling Creative Company and Posh & Prep calligraphy. Sarah and Zack-congratulations! What an incredible day!
