Capturing Forever at the Arlington Town Hall
Capturing Forever at the Arlington Town Hall

What can I say? I’m a sucker for hometown weddings! Just down the street from where we call home, sits one of my favorite hidden gems of a wedding venue. The Arlington Town Hall and Library, with their expansive inner hall and outdoor gardens, has so much to offer prospective couples planning their weddings. Over the years, town hall weddings have evolved to accommodate the changing preferences of couples. Some town halls have renovated their spaces to create more aesthetically pleasing and versatile environments for weddings…

A Fool's Errand: An Engagement Session With Rossi + D
A Fool's Errand: An Engagement Session With Rossi + D

Take me to your favorite bar for an engagement session, I dare you! We posted Rossi and D’s wedding a few days ago and then realized we hadn’t posted their engagement session and it was too good to skip over. Although we were dreaming of a winter snowscape, and maybe even some flurries, all we seemed to get was rain. That didn’t stop us from having a good time, though, and taking some seriously rad engagement photos…

A Sunrise Seaport Engagement Session in Boston
A Sunrise Seaport Engagement Session in Boston

How about Fan Pier Park at sunrise, right? It may have been a chilly morning, but we managed to keep things nice and cozy as we wandered the Boston Harbor walk by the ICA, enjoying the Seaport breeze all to ourselves. One thing I love about sunrise is the colors that it gives us! Blue hour melds into the bright golden sun…

Thinking of doing your engagement session at home? We LOVE that idea (obviously 😉). Contrary to what you may think, at-home sessions are anything but ordinary. Taking a lifestyle approach, we strive to capture you and your sweetheart in your element.

Preparing for your Engagement Session
Preparing for your Engagement Session

Requests have been flooding in ever since the holiday about engagement sessions and wedding packages. I am SO thrilled for all of my new couples and want to help them have the BEST session they can. Julita, Dale and I met up at Larz Anderson park mid morning, which is a time I usually like to avoid for sessions. If you’re ever stuck in a situation where you have to hold your session mid-day, your photographer will probably want to find pockets of shade to pose you in, but if they’re real pros they’ll also…

A Sunny White Mountains Proposal Atop Cathedral Ledge
A Sunny White Mountains Proposal Atop Cathedral Ledge

Love is a beautiful thing, and when it comes to proposals, it's hard not to get swept away in the magic of it all. Recently, Yash proposed to his partner on a warm, sunny September morning at the lookout on Cathedral Ledge in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It was such a sweet moment, and one that they'll both cherish for the rest of their lives.

Three outfits and three beautiful locations on Martha’s Vineyard. OKAY Lets go! Everything about Dominique and Alex’s engagement session was so well put together. Each outfit - perfectly coordinated to the part of the island we were taking pictures on. Our first stop was the Edgartown Lighthouse.
