Timeless Coastal Wedding Photography, blending New England’s beauty with your unique love story.

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration—filled with love, joy, and the kind of moments you’ll want to hold onto forever. My approach to wedding photography is ensuring that every image reflects the warmth and happiness of your special day. With a deep knowledge of New England, I craft images that blend the beauty of the coast with each couple's unique story.
I believe in capturing weddings with a mix of documentary-style storytelling and classic portraiture. This means I’ll be there to preserve the big moments—the first look, the first kiss, the first dance—but I’ll also focus on the in-between moments: the stolen glances, the laughter shared with friends, and the quiet, tender exchanges that make your love story uniquely yours.
My photography style is a balance of natural posing and subtle prompts—never cheesy, always authentic. I work discreetly yet intentionally, ensuring I capture every meaningful moment while allowing you to enjoy your day uninterrupted. With a photojournalistic approach, I focus on the genuine emotions, small details, and organic interactions that make your wedding uniquely yours.
With a calm, creative, and in-tune approach, my attention to emotion and detail allows me to capture the essence of each wedding, couple, and family in an organic and joyful way. As a result, you’ll have a collection of beautiful images that will transport you back to your favorite moments—the kind that will make you say, “I’m so glad we have a photo of this.”
Beyond the images themselves, my goal is to make your photography experience effortless and enjoyable. From our initial consultation to your wedding day, I’ll guide you with a warm, calming presence so you can truly be in the moment.
If you’re looking for a photographer who will beautifully document your love story with authenticity and heart, I’d love to connect with you.
my style: calm, creative + classic
I believe your wedding photos should feel as beautiful and timeless decades from now as they do today. My editing style is vibrant and true to color, ensuring your images remain classic rather than following fleeting trends. I want you to look back at your photos and see your day exactly as it was—full of rich color, natural light, and genuine emotion.
You’ll also find a thoughtfully curated mix of black & white images in your gallery, adding a timeless, artistic touch to your collection.
To give your images that magazine-worthy finish, I include complimentary retouching of small distractions—think blemishes, accidental spills, or that not-so-charming exit sign in the background.

The Wedding Day
Once you inquire, I’ll send over details about my collections, and we’ll schedule a call to chat about your vision, priorities, and any questions you have. This is a great time to ensure we’re the perfect fit!
To officially secure your date, we’ll sign the contract and process the deposit. Once that’s done, you’re officially booked, and the fun begins!
If you choose to do an engagement session, it’s a wonderful way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. Plus, it gives us a chance to connect and capture this special season of your life!
I’ll send you a Questionnaire 2-3 months prior to the wedding. Afterwards, we’ll line up a call to go over the timeline, family shot list, and all the little details that will make your day run smoothly. My goal is to ensure we have a solid plan so you can relax and soak in every moment.
Many couples are opting to document this intimate, joyful evening before the wedding. It’s a beautiful way to capture heartfelt toasts, candid moments with loved ones, and the anticipation leading up to the big day. It’s also a great way for me to get to know the main players for the wedding day.
With a carefully planned timeline and all the details in place, my team and I will be there to capture every meaningful moment—from getting ready to the last dance. My approach is a balance of documentary storytelling and timeless, editorial portraits.
Throughout the entire process, I communicate regularly and work closely with you (and your planner) to fine-tune logistics, answer questions, and ensure everything is aligned for a seamless experience.
