The Ryan’s | 11.01.24

I could say so much about J & A because they truly are the best kind of people. But today, I want to pause and share the emotions that linger after this weekend’s weddings. There’s a unique, indescribable joy in witnessing couples surrounded by their loved ones, each moment woven with laughter, connection, and pure authenticity. Capturing these moments reminds me why I do what I do and just how lucky I am to be part of these stories.

You see… When you become a wedding photographer, there’s a quiet sadness that lingers once the day has passed. From the moment your inquiry lands in my inbox, I’m all in—for you, for your story, for the art and love that surround you.

I carry memories of you long after the confetti has settled, wondering how you are, how life is unfolding, and if joy fills the space you’ve created. To know you, to document your story—it’s a gift I don’t take lightly. And maybe, one day, I’ll be invited back as your story grows.

I’ll always be captivated by the magic of your vision brought to life, by witnessing you both fully in each moment. I may not be the right fit for everyone, but for those who trust in me and my art, you’ll forever hold a place in my heart.

It’s truly been such a blessing getting to know John and Alexis over the past year, though somehow, even a year feels too short. In every moment spent with them, it’s clear how genuine and kind they are—qualities that shine brightest when they’re surrounded by those who know and love them most. Watching the way they effortlessly connect with the people in their lives, you can see the deep, authentic character they both carry. They’ve welcomed me into their story, and I couldn’t be more grateful to capture this beautiful chapter.

The Komes Family

Beneath crystal blue skies, tiny fingers grasp fallen leaves… discovering treasures in nature’s gifts and holding tight to hugs that linger.

Can you believe it? Courtney and Brandon’s wedding was one of the first I ever photographed. They put their full trust in me, and while I wasn’t yet the photographer I am today, that experience marked the beginning of something truly special.

Since then, it’s been an incredible journey capturing the small and big moments in their lives. Last fall, I had the joy of meeting their little one, Harrison. Despite the less-than-perfect weather, he had the best time exploring and creating memories with his mom and dad.

This spring, the Komes family grew with the arrival of sweet Joey, and they welcomed me into their home to capture those precious first moments together.

Then came this fall, where we had the ultimate session. Under sunny blue skies with warm autumn air, we explored, threw rocks into the pond, and tossed leaves into the air—capturing pure, unfiltered joy.

Seeing their family grow, season after season, has been a gift. I’m beyond grateful to document each chapter with them and to witness the love that keeps them moving forward together.

Sure, there’s always room for those beautiful posed family photos. But sometimes, you have to let your kiddos lead the way—exploring, laughing, and just being themselves. These are the moments that matter, the little things that capture who they really are. It’s not always about big smiles—it’s about remembering the quiet moments, the ones that make them, them. They grow up too fast, and this is why we take photos. To hold on to all the moments that are so fleeting, yet so precious.

Hailee & Cody | 09.28.2024

There’s something extraordinary about love that begins in youth and grows through the years—Hailee and Cody’s wedding was a testament to that. High school sweethearts with a bond so easy and full of life, their day felt like a celebration of all the laughter, love, and shared memories they’ve built over time.

But beyond the smiles and laughter, the day carried a deep and heartfelt undercurrent. Hailee’s father, who passed away while she was still in high school, was present in ways that only the heart can feel. Just after their first look, the clouds parted briefly, allowing the sun to shine down—an unmistakable sign of warmth and love, as if her father was there with them, sharing in the joy.

As the day unfolded, other little moments felt like whispers from the past. A light drizzle before the ceremony, reminiscent of gentle, happy tears, and then late into the evening, a burst of fireworks lit the sky above the trees, adding an unexpected touch of joy and wonder. These weren’t just random happenings; they were reminders that love is felt, even from afar.

To witness such moments is truly an honor. Hailee and Cody’s love is something that will last forever, carried in the tender moments and the little signs from above.

Introducing Clement & Olivia Acitellis

From the moment Olivia reached out over a year ago, I knew there was something truly special about her day that I simply had to be part of. We first met at another wedding I had the pleasure of photographing, and we instantly connected. When it came time for Olivia and Clem’s engagement session, any lingering doubt disappeared. Their love was magnetic. They brought along their adorable Frenchie, Dandelion, and we spent the afternoon exploring downtown Hampshire, with ice cream (of course!) as a sweet addition to the fun.

There’s something magical about witnessing the kind of love where a mere glance lights up the room. That’s exactly what I saw between Clem and Olivia. From the moment they had their first look, they were inseparable, their love so evident in every gesture, every look. It’s rare to witness such a beautifully balanced connection, and as a photographer, capturing that essence was an absolute privilege.

Here is a small preview, through the eyes of creatives, of Clement and Olivia’s breathtaking Galena wedding.
