Driving down 694 our way to David and Nina’s wedding in Minneapolis, I pulled out the wedding questionnaire that I send to all my couples, just to re-read their responses. For the question, “What does your perfect date night look like?” David and Nina’s written answer described not just a night, but an entire day’s worth of a […]

I first met Nina at her dear friend’s wedding in Colorado, a few years ago — she was one of the bridesmaids, I was the photographer — and when she contacted me to see if I was available to shoot her own wedding this fall, I thought hard about the bridesmaids I remembered from that […]

These two… Frank and Val are such a wonderful couple! They met during lunch in high school (cute cute), they’ve been through so much together. They love to travel, and they are so kind, so warm, so genuine. Marty and I love watching the family and friends of the bride and groom on a wedding […]

Natalie and Doug’s wedding was such a celebration of their love, their commitment to family, and their love of FUN. They didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, so we did a little “hold hands around the corner” setup, which was so sweet — Doug couldn’t stand it, and Natalie just glowed. All […]

These days, our schedule is full, and it’s tough to squeeze in family sessions — but when I can, it’s a lot of fun. These two families are both so special; it’s been fun to watch their families change and grow over the years. We had our photos taken last year by a wonderful local […]

One of my favorite moments from last weekend’s session with Doug and Natalie happened when we were talking about how to make couples, and guys in particular, feel a little less nervous at the beginning of a shoot. Doug laughed and said, “Wait, wait, Natalie told me about that. And I was like, ‘Am I […]

There’s something so beautiful about the awe that comes with creating and growing a baby. Matt and Jackie are having a girl, and their excitement is contagious! Jackie is soft-spoken, so kind and gentle, the perfect mommy to her sweet little one. Matt is basically Ironman himself (or at least, he likes to compete in […]

Andrea and Jake were married on a chilly November Saturday — and their wedding was, from top to bottom, completely their own! Think classic films meets 80’s rock meets vintage flair. It was classy, and edgy, and completely beautiful. We loved getting to know Andrea and Jake. They’re hilarious; by the end of the night, […]

My brother and his sweet fiancé are getting married on March 28th in Roanoke, Virginia! It’s coming up fast, and they wanted a few quick engagement shots, so we took these on a quiet, slow Sunday afternoon. Filtered light, late (late) fall, carpet of leaves… perfect 🙂 Luke just got glasses, which is totally throwing me, but […]

Marty and I were welcomed to Massachusetts with a good solid soaking. The day before Justin and Caitlin’s wedding, it poured and poured, buckets of rain that saturated the ground, drowning out the coordinator’s voice during the wedding rehearsal and making us all doubt the picture-perfect weather forecast for the next day. But the morning […]
