Borderland State Park Engagement Session in Easton, MA | Doris and Tory

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Doris and Tory’s engagement photographs on a chilly fall evening in September. This couple was new to professional photographs but as you can see they both warmed right up to the camera and we were able to get some great shots. One could see the love between this newly engaged couple.

Doris and Tory have been together for years. They have one child but plan on having more.

They chose to have the photographs taken at Borderland State Park in Easton, MA about twenty minutes outside of Boston, Ma. Borderland State Park is a history and nature preserve with public leisure areas in the towns of Easton and Sharon, Ma. The landscape of this property is incredible.

The state park covers 1,843 acres surrounding the Ames Mansion, which was built in 1910. This mansion is breath taking and makes for an amazing backdrop.

Congratulation Doris and Tory

Fruitland’s Museum Wedding in Harvard, MA | Claire and Henry

I recently had the honor of capturing Claire and Henry’s wedding photo’s on a beautiful September day.

We started the day off capturing a few stunning photographs of Claire and her bridal party getting ready.

Then it was on to Henry and his groomsmen, everyone was in such high spirits.

The couple decided to do a first look featured below and the atmosphere was perfect.

The ceremony was held at The Fruitland’s Museum in Harvard, Ma about an hour west of Boston, Ma.

Clara Endicott Sears established Fruitland’s Museum, in 1914, its name actually came from a new idealistic community led by Bronson Alcott and Charles Lane back in 1843.

The grounds are made up of The Fruitland’s Farmhouse, which is where Claire, Henry, and their family and wedding party got ready for the picturesque ceremony.

There is also The Shaker Museum, which unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to explore. Along with The Native American Museum, The Art Museum, and The Wayside Visitor Center.

It was beautiful and gave me so many opportunities for amazing pictures.

All of the staff were extremely attentive and made sure my assistant and I had everything we needed throughout the day.

There was so much love and laughter throughout the day. It was my pleasure to be a part of this joyous occasion.

The Westin Waltham Boston Wedding and Camp Cedar Hill Wedding in Waltham, MA | Katey and Tom

A few months back I was honored with the task of capturing Katey and Tom’s engagement photographs. I love when I am blessed with the opportunity of being able to see a new family all the way through. I’m hopeful that when this blissful couple decides to grow their family I’ll be lucky enough to be included in that as well. Whether it’s a puppy or a baby I can’t wait to document their journey through photography.

Sunday August 19th was a gorgeous summer day perfect for capturing amazing photo’s of Katey and Tom’s wedding. We started out at the stunning Westin Waltham Boston in Waltham, MA only 15 miles from downtown Boston.

The Westin is an absolutely beautiful hotel and their knowledgeable staff made sure that my assistant and I had everything we needed. Katey was having a great time getting ready with her friends and family. There was so much love and laugher in the air. The photo options were endless at the Westin.

After shooting some incredible photographs of Katey getting ready we met up with the handsome Tom to capture some detail shots of him as well.

Once everyone was ready we headed over to Camp Cedar Hill in Waltham, MA. This was actually the first wedding that they were hosting but it is something that they have been thinking about doing for quite a while now and in my opinion everything turned out beautifully. Tammy Torrey, Senior Designer at Cedar Hill, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very attentive throughout the day making the happy couples experience joyful and stress free.

Katey grew up going to Cedar Hill, which is also known as Girl Scouts of Eastern Ma. As you can see from the photographs the grounds are just beautiful!

Before the wedding ceremony, there was the signing of the ketubah, which is a marriage contract; the ketubah details the obligations of the groom to his bride. The ketubah is a legally binding contract and is typically framed and displayed in the couples home.  The ketubah was an amazing picture of Katey and Tom that I took during their engagement shoot.

Katey and Tom had a traditional Jewish wedding.  It was officiated by Rabbi Robin Sparr whom is a remarkable woman.  I have been fortunate to work with her on a few weddings now and she is an absolute delight.  Robin specializes in creating personally designer spiritual wedding ceremonies for Jewish and Interfaith couples of all religious and cultural background. She has a beautiful voice and often sings while playing her guitar enhancing the beauty of the service. Once the signing was completed the ceremony started. Guests gathered to witness this beautiful couple make their vows to love each other forever.

After the ceremony we captured some amazing family photos and a few of the happy new couple.  Cedar Hill was just a beautiful venue. The photo options were endless. Katey and Tom were so excited and happy after their nuptials and were willing to really let me apply my artistic and creativity to getting amazing images. These are some of my favorites.

Congratulation Katey and Tom

The Tirrell Room Wedding in Quincy, MA | Danielle and Kristopher

I recently had the honor of photographing Danielle and Kristopher’s wedding at the Tirrell Room in Quincy, Ma about 15 minutes south of Boston.  It was an amazing August afternoon that turned into a beautiful summer evening.

These two lovebirds have been together for over three years and they met while working together. These days, Danielle is a schoolteacher and Kristopher is a bartender; one can see the love between them while in their presence.

After dating for a while, Kristopher realized that Danielle was the one. Shortly before Christmas he decided to pop the question. He bought the ring and placed it inside a Christmas ornament. He then asked Danielle to tell him which ornament was her favorite and she came across the one he had left with the ring. It said, “Marry Christmas” on it and she accepted his proposal right away. 

Their wedding was intimate and only their closest family and friends were a part of their wedding party.  Sadly Patrick, Danielle’s brother couldn’t be there as he passed a few years ago but he was there in spirit. I love photographing smaller weddings as they seem to be more personal and a lot less stressful for the bride and groom. The Tirrell room was perfect for this.

Jennifer Barrett was the coordinator and she was incredible from beginning to end. Not only did she make sure that every detail was handled for the newly weds, she also went out of her way to make sure that my assistant and I had everything we needed. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming thru the entire wedding. The Barrett Family manages and handles all of the catering for the Tirrell Room. The Barrett Restaurant Group also owns The Abington Ale House, The Charlie Horse of West Bridgewater, The Charlie Horse of Kingston and Plymouth Bay Catering.  The food was incredible. 

The grounds are beautiful, it’s a secluded setting bordered by beautifully landscaped gardens with gorgeous views of The Blue Hills making the photo options endless.  The ceremony was held out back in their gazebo, which also made an amazing backdrop for the couples sneak out during the reception.

Congratulations Danielle and Kristopher

Boston University Engagement Shoot in Boston, MA | Diana and Felix

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Diana and Felix’s engagement photographs on an unpredictable weather afternoon in August. When we first arrived at Boston University the sun was playing a little game of peek-a-boo. First it was beautifully sunny but slowly but surely a huge cloud followed by a downpour covered the sun. Diana and Felix didn’t seem to mind. One could see the love between these two.

Diana and Felix have been together for 11 years. They met in college at Boston University. They actually lived in the same dorm while they were attending the famous school.

The Danielson Hall is where it all began. They were on the same floor. Cupid had plans for them.

A few years back these two lovebirds were in Iceland for a summer holiday, it was their best trips ever! Last Christmas Felix surprised Diana with a trip back to Iceland as they had an incredible time the first time they visited. While they were in Iceland under the Northern Lights he popped the question.

Currently Diana works in marketing for a big tech company in Silicon Valley. Felix is a biomedical engineer doing osteoarthritis research at the University of California San Francisco. Basically he's the philanthropist in their relationship.

Diana and Felix are looking forward to their up coming wedding. They can’t wait to party like rock stars with all of their friends and family. They are planning on having children one day but they’re not sure how many just yet.

Congratulation Diana and Felix

Lake Pearl Wedding in Wrentham, MA | Sara & Matt

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Sara & Matt’s wedding photography on a beautiful June afternoon at Lake Pearl in Wrentham Ma, one of New England’s most versatile estate wedding venues, and one of my favorite venues to collaborate with.

The day started out at Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham in Frankin, MA where we met up with Matt and his groom’s men for some detail shots. All of the men were having a great time laughing and joking with Matt while he was getting ready.

Soon after we headed over to Lake Pearl to meet up with Sara and her bridal party. All Lake Pearl brides enjoy their very own private bridal suites. Bridal attendants provide hors d’oeuvre, cheese & crackers, champagne and bar service. The suite also offered a fun environment for incredible photos of Sara and her ladies helping her get ready.

This warm and friendly couple said their “I do’s” in front of friends and family in Lake Pearls beautiful out door gazebo, set alongside a pristine 128-acre natural lake. Sara looked incredible in her wedding gown as everyone stood to watch her walk down the isle.

Following the ring exchange the couple had a wedding sand ceremony. Sara and Matt each had different colored sand and they took turns pouring it into one clear vessel, forming a layered effect. The wedding sand ceremony is a symbolic combination of the couple's lives into one mutually loving union.

The couple, who are among the most adventurous I have met, played a video that documented some of the endeavors they have done together during the reception which was fun to watch. From hiking, mountain climbing, to kayaking, these too are now officially locked into this beautiful journey of marriage together.

The cocktail hour took place in the Tree Top Lounge and the wedding reception took place in the romantic Tree Top Room, one of Lake Pearl's most popular rooms for intimate weddings. Colleen Calzaretta, Director of Service, was such a breath of fresh air to work with as usual. She always makes sure that every detail is beautiful.

After the new Mr. and Mrs. were announced for the first time as husband and wife they went right into their first dance together to Led Zeppelin’s Thank you which was a perfect song for them. Baltazar Entertainment DJ, Lighting and Photo Booth were in charge of the music and kept the party going. http://www.baltazarentertainment.com/

During the reception the best man, Neil gave a funny yet heartfelt speech about Matt and how Sara completes and compliments him all at the same time. This was followed by a speech from the maid of honor, Jessica (Sara’s sister, which made everyone laugh out loud while also bringing tears to everyone’s eyes. It was evident how close Sara and her siblings were throughout the day.

During the wedding reception, we snuck outside to capture more dreamlike photographs! Lake Pearl's boathouse chapel, gardens, pumpkin carriage, arches and gazebos allowed for so many amazing photo opportunities as always.

Congratulations Sara and Matt

Oceanview of Nahant Wedding in Nahant, MA | Tracy and Todd

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Tracy and Todd’s wedding photographs on an amazing summer afternoon in June at The Oceanview of Nahant. Nahant is about 20 minutes north of Boston, MA.

This hidden gem allowed for absolutely incredible pictures inside and outside on this joyous day. The Oceanview of Nahant is nestled on one of the most magnificent, charming points of the Atlantic Ocean. There are two beautiful locations to say “I Do”. You can opt to go with the stunning Beach Stone Terrace; outside overlooking the glistening waters of the beautiful sea or the magnificent grand Ballroom; comfortably inside where giant windows border your ceremony while waves gently crash in the background. Both options are amazing but Tracy and Todd went with the Beach Stone Terrance.

This adoring couple has been dating for five years.

Tracy has two sons, Ryan and Matty, from a previous relationship. Ryan is thirteen and Matty is nine. They played a huge roll in the days festivities and had a great time.

Todd also has two children from a previous relationship. The beautiful Catie who is almost twenty-one and Connor who is seventeen. This blended family had nothing but love and kind words for each other and you could see it throughout the day.

Tracy and Todd purchased a home together two years ago on a pond in Lynn. Shortly after purchasing their new home Todd decided to pop the question. He brought Tracy out on the pond and got down on one knee. She accepted right away!

Both Todd and Tracy wanted their wedding day to be a big party with less formality and so it was. Everyone had a great time.

After the wedding these two are heading to Wellfleet in Cape Cod for a short little honeymoon. They are planning on waiting until December to go on their official honeymoon in the Bahamas.

Hyland Orchard & Pavilion Wedding in Sturbridge, MA | Lauren & Bryan

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Bryan and Lauren’s wedding photography on an incredible sunny day in June at Hyland Orchard & Pavilion in Sturbridge Ma which is about sixty miles outside of Boston in the heart of Massachusetts’ apple country.  This incredible venue is set on one of the highest elevations in the lovely town. The beautiful hillside, with pristine surroundings, provides a tranquil backdrop for any occasion.

We started out at the Holiday Inn in Sturbridge where everyone was enjoying himself or herself while getting ready.

All of the bridesmaids were laughing and joking while they were getting their hair and makeup done.  

The bride gave intimate gifts to her bridal party and Lauren received one very special gift from one of her bride’s maids. 

For years and years Lauren held onto her purple prom dress while everyone poked fun and finally one day she decided to give it up.  Lauren finally dropped it off at a good will type of place and her girlfriend went and re-purchased it. 

Probably one of the most thoughtful wedding gifts I have seen given thus far her girlfriend had a portion of the prom dress turned into a garter belt for Lauren to wear during her special day.  It was part of something old turned into something new and she was extremely touched by the gesture.

The bride took a few minutes before we left to take some dramatic photos next to her father’s vintage hot rod.  They came out amazing.

When we arrived at the venue Doe, the Coordinator at Hyland Orchard greeted us with the warmest smile.  She went out of her way for the couple and their guests. Hyland Orchard’s vintage John Deere tractor wagon brought all of their guests to the ceremony on the hill. 

Congratulations to Lauren and Bryan

Lake Pearl Wedding in Wrentham, MA | Sam & Jen

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Sam and Jen’s wedding photography on a beautiful May afternoon at Lake Pearl in Wrentham Ma, 40 minutes outside of Boston, MA one of New England’s most beautiful estate wedding locations. 

We started the day off at Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham in Franklin Ma where the couple was getting ready for the big day. 

Once we left the Hawthorne Suites it was straight to Lake Pearl!

This amazing couple’s wedding ceremony was officiated right on the edge of the water over looking Lake Pearl. The DJ, Chris Chapel (http://www.uniquesounds.com) played an instrumental version of “ A Thousand Years” while the wedding party walked down the isle. It almost brought me to tears. 

Jen looked amazing in her wedding gown as everyone stood to watch her walk down the isle. The way these two looked at each other was beautiful, one could see the love.

During the wedding ceremony Jen’s grandfather George read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 before Jen and Sam shared their own very heart felt written vows.  

Their “ I dos” were sealed with a kiss.

After the ceremony, I captured breathtaking photographs along the water. What a fantastic wedding venue! There were so many locations on the premises that provided a variety of gorgeous backdrops for portraits. Sam and Jen decided on a smaller bridal party, making their wedding day a lot more personal and a little more special. The bridesmaids looked beautiful in their lovely gowns. 

I wanted everyone to have their own pose so I told them to do what felt right and here is what happened.

The cocktail hour took place in the Tree Top Lounge and the wedding reception took place in the Tree Top Room. Colleen Calzaretta, Director of Service was such a breath of fresh air to work with. She made sure that every detail was beautiful. Jen and Sam took dance lessons in preparation for their big day. Their hard work paid off, as they both looked incredible dancing their first dance together as husband and wife!

Jen and Sam took their time before entering into this union as they dated for 10 years before getting engaged and married and it was so touching to see these two amazing families become one!

Sam’s mother Candi was diagnosed with lung cancer prior to the wedding. At the time of the wedding, she was in hospice. This extraordinary woman got out of bed and said, “nothing will stop me from attending my son’s wedding.” SHE MADE IT! Although, I only spent a short time with her I could tell she was an amazing woman. One could see the happiness she brought to everyone during the occasion. It was heartwarming to see Sam dance with her. 

Candi passed about a week after the wedding. Please rest in peace Candi you will forever be remembered. It was an honor to meet you.

During the wedding reception, we snuck outside to capture more magical moments!

Lake Pearl's boathouse chapel, gardens, pumpkin carriage, arches and gazebos allowed for so many amazing photo opportunities. Click here for more information on Lake Pearl
