After photographing this girl for the last year, we’re finally getting to know each other! I got a smile as soon as I walked in the door, and we had such a fun time playing… especially once we gave her a humungous cake! Check out my favorites from Kayla’s One Year Portrait Session!
Oh man, if you thought this wedding was beautiful before, just WAIT ’til you see all their woodland details at the perfectly urban chic Artists for Humanity Epicenter.
Alright, let’s get to the gorgeous details from Laura and Dayna’s early spring wedding at the wonderful Willowdale Estate! Even when it’s not quite green, this place is still amazing, one of my favorite venues.
Laura and Dayna (best name for a groom ever!) were married on a beautiful brisk day in late spring, they braved the slight chill in the air for as long as they could and it was SO worth it for the chance to walk around outside and to witness their ceremony on the gorgeous patio of the Willowdale Estate. Laura was perfectly nervous, everyone was excited, the weather held off and just wait til you see Dayna’s face when he saw his bride for the first time…
GUYS! I can’t even TELL you how excited I am to share this wedding! You may remember Nora and Kevin from their snuggly, beer-induced, winter engagement session. These two are an absolute favorite around the studio, I was so excited to see them on their wedding day, and true to form they laughed, they cried, they snuggled, it was SO. FUN.
So, it’s been six months, but “baby” AJ turned ONE! Krista was invited over to document his first taste of cake (unsure at first… but someone figured it out!) and catch this family in the midst of life with an almost-toddler.
Bonnie & Steve’s wedding was cheerfully decorated with bright blue & orange touches, and it totally added to the fun atmosphere of the entire day! Here are some of my favorite details & vendors who made it all come together…
Bonnie’s veil was so unique!

If that picture doesn’t sum these two up then I don’t know what will… Ashley and Andrew had an absolute BLAST on their perfectly snowy wedding day in late February, feast your eyes on all their beautifully thought out DIY details!
Ashley’s dress and Kate Spade earrings suited her perfectly: feminine and soft, with just the right amount of sparkle.
She and her bridesmaids wore coordinating flannel pj’s as they got ready, they were so cute!
Gotta keep an eye on the weather!
We all braved the at least 4 feet of snow to shoot some portraits at Fitch’s footbridge, on the way from the church to Gibbet Hill.
And man was it worth it!
Then the snow really started to fall…
I mean…
This is how excited we are about shooting in the snow!
The reception details were equally soft, feminine, rustic, romantic and fun.
While the dance floor was packed, the room with the donuts was too…
MMmmmmmm donuts…
Krista and Pam prepping on the dance floor!
And Andrew bringing the house down!

Get ready for a whole lot of pretty, folks. Katie & Brian were married on one of the last days of Fall, when the light was buttery and warm and you could still get away without wearing a coat. It was one of those wonderfully beautiful days where the Bride and Groom’s tireless preparations paid off, everything went to plan, and they just got to have fun and enjoy their day. I mean, it really doesn’t get any better than that. Let’s start with Katie as she got ready with her girls.
I love Katie’s soft and feminine details, they just fit her perfectly!
My lovely assistant Pam caught this, how cute are these girls?!
GIRL! You are so beautiful!
Katie gave her adorable parents some very thoughtful embroidered handkerchiefs, their reaction was so sweet!
Then it was time to head to the church!
Meanwhile, my lovely second shooter Cris Llerena, started with Brian and his boys. This little guy, can you even stand it?!
I tagged along with the girls on the way to the ceremony.
“It’s our party and we’ll cry if we want to!” I love it!
Some members of the wedding party really took that to heart… hehe.
I just love that light!!
Then it was off to Black Rock to capture the last bit of light!
And what gorgeous light it was!
Haha! Thanks Pam! :)
This is what happy looks likes folks…
We even had enough light to capture some beautiful, natural formal photos outside, love this group!
Little Meredith and Colin were keeping everyone entertained for me, thanks guys! :)
And a killer sunset to boot!
An heirloom cake topper, and room filled with tons of candles made everything feel so romantic. And I haven’t seen a Groom’s cake in so long, this one Katie arranged was awesome!
I mean… Cris thank you for grabbing this, this isn’t the last you’ll see of these cuties.
When Grandma’s attack! :)
Then it was party time y’all!
See?!
Behold the best late night snacks ever! The Fenway Frenzy!!
