Windy Fall Mountain Wedding at Killington Resort in Killington, VT

There's something about a small breeze on a wedding day that makes everything look more elegant. Well, Kristin & Michael got a little more than a small breeze on their day at Killington Resort - okay, who are we kidding, we had never felt wind so powerful and cold in Fall until this day! But what's amazing is how everyone was a trooper and stuck it out in the freezing temperatures through the ceremony and THEN to the summit for the reception! Give a little love to your ears while you give a feast to your eyes throug[...]

Posted In: *Engagements

Apple picking season is just about here and I am so beyond ready for it that I decided I needed to share some apple orchard lovebirds with you all! So, let's take a trip to Mack's Apples in Londonderry, New Hampshire with Samantha & Brandon! Honestly, my first thought getting out of my car and meeting these two was "wow - look at that girl's GORGEOUS hair!" (Can you blame me?!) We walked all over the orchard and into the woods with so much laughter, jokes, giggling... lots and lots of smiles. We spent some time talki[...]

Retro Diner Engagement Session in Massachusetts

Posted In: *Engagements | Featured

My love for vintage vibes is no secret to those who spend just a little time around me - from antique furniture all over my home to my rather large collection of 50s tunes to my obsession with classic cars, I'm a fan. So when Matt & Erin told me they wanted to do their engagement session in the classic theater Matt proposed in and a retro diner just a few minutes away, I was absolutely all in. We started at the Lexington Venue, a classic independent theater in Lexington, Massachusetts where Matt actually proposed to[...]

White Mountains Elopement in Jackson, NH

Posted In: *Elopements | *Weddings

I've always rooted for the underdog, for the one who has mountains of things against them, and yet they prevail. I get soppy over stories of wonderful people who have been through the toughest and hardest of times and persevere through it all to the most beautiful and breathtaking of moments. So when Melanie and Shaun told me that their story had to be told to the tune of "Bless the Broken Road", I was already in tears before our connection grew to what it is today. So, join me on something new here and press play below as[...]

Backyard Lakeside Wedding in Washington, NH

Posted In: *Weddings | New Hampshire

Spending my high school years living in the Lakes Region gave me an added attachment to all things lakeside, and when Justin & Diancy told me about their backyard wedding taking place on family property on Highland Lake in Washington, New Hampshire, I HAD to be there! Let's tell some fun stories about this day... Diancy collected moss from beside the lake to go in their beautiful birch wood ring box (which several of my couples since have seen and added to their list for their own weddings), the sprinkler system may have[...]

Sunset Engagement Session at Duxbury Beach, MA

Posted In: *Engagements

One of the best parts about engagement sessions for me is pulling up to the location with some idea in my mind about what the couple might be wearing (usually solely based on the little bit that I've gotten to know about them already and rarely based on a Pinterest board shared with their outfits of choice) - and being completely wrong almost every single time. :P Amanda and Chris met me at the beautiful - and almost completely empty! - Duxbury Beach in Duxbury, Massachusetts in outfits they had just purchased earlier th[...]
