Megan and Andrew’s love of the outdoors was beautifully matched with the greenery that decorated the indoor ceremony space and the summer BBQ vibe of the cocktail hour and reception. It was such a special moment watching them enjoy their first look.
Lauren and Ryan were so much fun to photograph. Their wedding at The Williams Inn was summery chic with earthy tones that reflected the beautiful surroundings of Williamstown.
Katherine and Ben’s Chesterwood wedding at Chesterwood felt like an elegant dinner party of close family and friends. Guests ranging from age 1 to 88 were able to enjoy the gorgeous property while taking in the beautiful Berkshire mountains surrounding them. The guest count was intimate which made it a perfect, relaxed evening. Katherine and Ben were able to enjoy each other’s company and still spend time with family and friends who had traveled from all around the world to celebrate with them.
Their connection feels like a perfect match. It all began with a first date in Boston, at a favorite restaurant where they stayed out until 4:00 am because they were having so much fun. Anna and Liam have been together ever since. I first met the two of them for their engagement photos when they drove from Boston to the Berkshires to meet with me. I remember thinking then that they were such a fun couple.
10 years ago, I met Lisa for the first time over a cup of coffee. Our meeting was a follow up to her inquiry to see if I’d consider her as a second shooter. Lisa as a recent college graduate, seemed uncertain of what she wanted and was a bit shy as we chatted but as she began working for me, I quickly experienced the characteristics that make her so wonderful.
Anne grew up in the Berkshires and returns home with Andrew to enjoy summers here. While their wedding was originally planned for an earlier date, they didn’t let COVID restrictions get in the way of delaying their love. As they waited patiently to gather with all their family and friends here in the Berkshires, their life was moving rapidly in California. They welcomed a baby boy who was the most adorable addition to this celebration.
Imagine a tent full of families, who have been waiting to spend time with each other, finally having the opportunity to celebrate! The energy was high and everyone was elated. Thanks to Lauren and Mike’s band, The Band Method, not a single person stayed in their seat during the reception and the dinner tables became a stage for them to entertain on. It was incredible.
They both proposed to each other on the very same day! Eliza and Maggie’s non-competitive, equitable approach to proposing was simple: no plan (re: who would propose first), but on a trip to Asheville with friends, less than 24 hours before Eliza planned to pop the same question, Maggie beat her to the punch and dropped down on one knee on a breathtaking sunset hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway – the same mountain range where their first picture together had been taken, over 3 years prior. Later that night, Eliza proposed back on a hill under the stars, just two girls and their headlamps and a lot of happy tears.
Emily and Andrej were dodging thunderstorms all day at their tented Chesterwood wedding, but not one bit of rain could put a damper on this celebration. In one evening they experienced a week’s worth of weather; rain, clouds, sunshine, fog, and even a rainbow. From start to finish I have enjoyed working with Emily and Andrej. They are fun, easy going, and best of all so in love. All day I just kept saying, “wow” to myself after I’d snap another amazing image of these two prancing around in the rain or holding each other under a rainbow.
Beth and Zak met on a study abroad trip to Italy, but it was actually Beth’s twin sister, Kathy, who first met Zak. Zak and Kathy attended the same college and it wasn’t until a couple years later (in Italy) that Beth and Zak would connect. Beth and Zak, both teachers live in Eastern MA and they spend their time playing board games, hiking, or reading fantasy.
I have photographed so many couples, however Talia and Greg are the first bride and groom collegiate ice hockey players. During their ceremony, brother Grant (who officiated), awarded them the “winning puck”, it was absolutely adorable.
Corey and Taylor’s New Year’s Eve wedding was cozy and festive. While they had originally planned on having a much larger wedding in Vermont, COVID derailed their 2020 plans.
The Space Couples are always searching for unique wedding venues in the Berkshires. Mass MoCA, located in North Adams, Massachusetts is a reconstructed factory turned
When I first met Oset and Michael in New York City for their engagement shoot, Oset shared with me about her and Michael’s love of food. Oset is the Associate Culture Editor for Food and Wine Magazine. Their reception was so unique, and they turned the space at Bloom Meadows into their own with the help of their amazing vendors. The ceilings were draped with billowing fabric and the tables were set with floral garlands. It was no surprise that their dinner was full of little details like a carefully curated wine list, custom hot honeys from one of their favorite small makers, and the incredible pastry work from Meg Thompson.
Corinne and Justin’s day was classically beautiful and their attention to detail was gorgeous. They thought of it all! A beaded purse passed down from generation to generation, a bible with lace from Corinne’s grandmother’s wedding dress, satin shoes for the groom, and a working vintage typewriter as the guestbook.
I loved seeing John’s face lit up when he turned and first saw Aly. As we ventured out onto the grounds at Gedney, I couldn’t help but notice the way Aly looked at John. All the stress and nervous feelings that happen on the morning of your wedding seemed to disappear when she was alone with John. How special is that?
Jenna and Peter’s intimate wedding at 33 Main was exactly what they envisioned; a getaway. These two New York natives were friends for many years
On the drive to the Mount, I couldn’t help but think about how perfect the day ahead was going to be. And it was! It was so easy and fun capturing Merideth and Travis in the amazing gardens at The Mount. One of Merideth’s favorite spots on the grounds was the forecourt. She looked absolutely stunning enjoying her specialty cocktail with her new husband after the ceremony. Not only were they able to enjoy their cocktail hour on the terrace, but a New Orleans style jazz band escorted them up the driveway for a tradition wedding second line.
Let’s talk about wedding hair… I have seen a lot of brides and grooms getting ready and have worked with some amazing hair stylists. So
The third time’s a charm! After rescheduling their wedding twice, 10/10/21 would finally be the day everyone came together to celebrate Melanie and Cody’s love. Their wedding was absolutely 10 out of 10 (get it?).
Hannah and Graham love each other so much they decided to get married twice! I was so lucky to capture their intimate backyard wedding back
Marley and Jimmy’s Hancock Shaker Village wedding could not have fallen on a more perfect day. It truly was the most perfect day of the
The details of Amy and Patrick’s wedding were stunning and honored the mastermind of the venue, Edith Wharton. One of Amy’s favorite Covid purchases was an antique Corona (how appropriate a name) typewriter which she used to type Edith Wharton quotes for the cocktail tables. They purchased vintage Edith Wharton classic books to use as display (and read during the lead up) and Amy folded the pages of one into a heart shape. The favors/table assignments featured locally, hand poured soy candles from a female owned business with their favorite Edith quote. Their head table had two little dog candlesticks to honor Edith’s affinity for dogs and her beloved quote “My little dog— a heartbeat at my feet.”
Wheatleigh Hotel was the perfect place for Juhi and Karan’s small, private wedding. It was just stunning.
