I’m always a little bummed when I look at the forecast and see rain on a wedding day. Yes, it is considered good luck. Yes, we will make beautiful photos indoors or out. But this day was different. The spark between Nicole and Jason lit up the day more than any sunshine ever could. They […]

Two winter weddings? What?! But seriously, these two weddings couldn’t have been more different but still just as amazing. From the first time meeting them, I knew Meghan and Tom had a truly beautiful love that was felt more than seen. They aren’t showy people and don’t thrive in the spotlight, but the care and […]

To say that I was looking forward to this wedding would be an understatement but that doesn’t mean it was without it’s surprises! I went to high school with Amanda, though in different grades and circles, I didn’t know her very well. She had seen a post that a friend of mine shared that showed […]

How lucky am I to have the most incredible end to such an amazing first year full-time? Monica and Corey are some of the sweetest humans I’ve had the joy of working with. Their wedding at the Pond House Cafe in West Hartford was filled with quintessential fall inspiration and set the tone for a […]

The absolute sweetest couple, Meghan and Tom chose a gorgeous fall day for their engagement session. Wickham Park will always hold a special place in my heart. After all, it was where Ryan and I got married back in 2018!! But it was the perfect backdrop and the most perfect weather for these two!

Two of the sweetest humans I’ve ever met plus their cute pup, Nala meant this was a wedding day I’ve been eagerly waiting to capture! Ever since their engagement session at Devil’s Hopyard, I knew that this day was going to be so full of love and so incredibly special. Katie & Jon chose a […]

I love when we are immediately able to click with our couples. Bonding over our love of cats, working in education, and even just the fact that we met online, Lauren and Andrew are two people I cannot wait to see again. Their wedding next year is going to be incredible, but for now enjoy […]

When you have a bunch of little ones dressed and out the door, rescheduling because of weather isn’t always an option. After some searching and chatting between us, we decided to avoid the rain on the way by moving to Mill Pond Park in Newington, CT. This was my first time there but it certainly […]
