Any of my former brides or grooms want to attend a wedding open house for me? You’d sit at my table (it’ll be all set up for you, no need to break it down either). Just give out swag and talk about your wedding and experience with me if anyone asks. It’s coming up quickly! Wednesday, 8/7 from 5-8pm in Scituate, MA. Paid. Send me a message if you’re interested.
Neither Tommy nor Allison can tell you how they originally met because it happened sometime when they were around 8. But what started as friends turned into a lot more, and after four years of dating, they decided to tie the knot. Allison and Tommy love going on adventures together: kayaking, cooking, tennis, traveling, running road races, painting and more. They know how to make any part of their life feel like it's the most exciting adventure because they are in it together. Best wishes, Allison and Tommy and big thank you to Katlyn and Brian for rocking the photos!

I could try to type out a summary of Gina and Pat's wedding, but Gina already wrote something that's perfect! So I'm copying from her!
"July 13, 2024 marked 4 years since Patrick & I met. We thought it would be the perfect date for our wedding. We are so blessed and grateful for all the wonderful love and memories we shared with our loved ones. We just can’t thank the vendors enough who made our dream wedding a reality and can’t recommend them enough. (vendors listed below) Thanks to everyone who traveled great distances to witness our special day. We are just so excited to begin our new chapter together, and see where life takes us. We are so grateful and beyond excited to have our families join as one. "
Best wishes, Gina and Pat! I hope you continue to make each other the happiest people in the world when you are together!

Ilona and Jonathan met in the summer of 2021. Ilona had just moved back to the USA after living abroad. They officially got engaged in 2023. Jonathan had been secretly ring shopping for awhile and kept making excuses for why they couldn't/shouldn't get engaged whenever Ilona brought it up! The ring arrived a couple days before their camping trip, but he didn't want to ask on the trip, because it didn't feel like the right time. Here's the rest of the story in Ilona's words: "I was working from home the day we got engaged. Jonathan was also off that day, but he was just hanging around the house. I started wondering what he was up to, so I asked. As I sat down next to him, he said "what's a question you've been asking me?" I said "do you love me?" He laughed and said "yes - what's another question?" I thought for a moment and said "will you marry me?" He immediately knelt down and asked "so, will you marry me?" And the rest is history!
Best wishes, Ilona and Jonathan!

When we talked about the plans for Talia and Brendan's wedding, she kept mentioning that she wanted the space "festooned with flowers." So I was expecting some very cool decor - wow, was I blown away! I'm a sucker for arrangements that include something out of the ordinary. There were grapes and artichokes in the centerpieces - how cool is that?!? But what was the most amazing part about their wedding had nothing to do with flowers, decor, the cannon, or any other "things." Talia was really hoping that her dad would be able to walk her down the aisle - and he did! I don't think there was a dry eye in the place watching them in the church. (And by the way, they picked St. Brendan's for the church - very fitting.) We all sobbed again when Talia and her dad had their father-daughter dance at the reception. I tell my kids all the time, "what's the most important thing?" The right answer: "family and friends." It's the people in your lives that make it all worthwhile. Brendan and his mom also tore up the dancefloor, and even though it was a warm summer day, their guests packed in front of the band for the rest of the night. Talia and Brendan - what a beautiful start to your happily ever after. Best wishes!

New review is in! I loved this wedding (and the sailboat WAS super cool!)
One more wedding to share today, and then I have to get back to editing! But I had to share Caity and Hunter's video, because it was pretty epic. I want sailboats at all my weddings from here forward!!!
Caity and Hunter met through a mutual friend on Caity's 23rd birthday. They asked that same friend to be their officiant and he shared the whole story of that first meeting during the ceremony. They got engaged on April 1st (not an April fools joke!) at the top of Sunday River Mountain. Caity said that "Hunter's friends have been begging him to learn to ski since he was 10 years old, and I finally convinced him to try it last year. It was as much a surprise that he could get down the mountain, as it was that he popped the question at the top!" Caity has been teaching Hunter to ski. He's been teaching her to surf. And they both are enjoying traveling to new places and have a goal of seeing at least one new destination a year together. Caity and Hunter - I love your sense of adventure! Not even a little drizzle (OK, it was more than a little at times) could stop you from the wedding of your dreams. Congratulations!

Exactly four years before their wedding date, Meg and Aadhar met for the first time in-person. They connected on a dating app right at the beginning of the pandemic and after a few weeks of messaging and zoom calls, their first date was a hike at Mt. Wachusett. After a few hours of hiking, they reluctantly parted ways, because "nothing else was open at the time." The following weekend, outdoor dining opened up and they quickly reserved a table at a Scottish restaurant in Jamaica Plain. Hiking and cooking quickly became a weekly bright spot for both of them. They still enjoy going on hikes, and as Aadhar says, "Meg brings out the my adventurous side. We also recently joined a farm share and that ignited an interest in exploring new recipes together." They are also learning to play tennis together, and enjoy relaxing while watching Great British Baking Show. Meg and Aadhar got engaged on the top of Mt. Wachusett, where they relived their first date! It was much colder on the proposal day, but worth it for the memories! Best wishes, Aadhar and Meg.

Lynda and Drew met six years ago, and while they both know where they met, if you ask Drew, you'll get a random new story each time! He likes to keep you on your toes! And although Lynda knew exactly when they were going to get engaged ("Drew's not very good at keeping secrets," was her comment when I asked about the proposal), he did manage to surprise her with lunch at her favorite restaurant with family! While on break from school, they were visiting Lynda's mom in Rhode Island. Drew suggested a walk on the beach (they like to go on hikes, ski and cook together and so while walks are not out of the ordinary, Lynda said she knew something was up this time!). Drew popped the question on the beach, and of course, Lynda said yes! Best wishes, Lynda and Drew! Your wedding photos are gorgeous - great work, Lisa and Sage! You two rocked it!

It's halfway through July already and I haven't posted about all of my beautiful June weddings! And there were a lot... Which is part of why I haven't posted! So here goes!
Brianna and Jordan hosted an epic party for their wedding reception! They set the vibe by asking one of their friends to be their flower man (and he crushed it!), and their unity ceremony wasn't anything standard... They did shots! I had so much fun with this wedding party that when the time was up, I couldn't believe it was already over. Best wishes, Brianna and Jordan! I knew you'd have a beautiful wedding and it did not disappoint!

Another 5 star review - thank you Lynda! Your wedding was amazing!
Happy 4th of July! I hope everyone has a fun holiday!
Here's a new review that just came in. Brianna - it was a true pleasure capturing your wedding. You were the most beautiful bride!
Thank you for this awesome review, Renee! Your wedding was gorgeous!
Emileigh and Mike met in the hospital. But not like you would think - thankfully, it's because they both work in health care. They have been together 3 years and got engaged last spring while on a trip to a cabin in Northern Wisconsin. Emileigh says it was a chilly night by the water, but they built a fire and Mike worked up the courage to get down on one knee and propose! They enjoy cooking together, traveling to new locations in Wisconsin (where they now live), and having fun weekend adventures.
Check out some of the gorgeous photos from their celebration captured by the amazing, Katlyn! Best wishes, Emileigh and Mike! You both look so happy!

Sometimes the best plans are the ones you can't plan for at all. Jennie and Nischay got engaged in the fall of 2023. Nischay's original plan to propose was to take her to their favorite off-leash dog park and propose on a pretty hill with their fur baby as witness! But then, the pup hurt herself and couldn't go on walks. Plan B was a proposal on her birthday in their garden. But Jennie spent her whole day off working in the garden and was so muddy that he felt the timing wasn't quite right. Plan C finally happened when Nischay asked Jennie to dance (while playing the song "Perfect", after cooking her a multi-course meal). She said "yes" (while happy crying the whole time), and the rest is history!
Their wedding celebration with their friends and family was the perfect garden party - very fitting to their love story! Best wishes, Jennie and Nischay!

When it started sprinkling on Emily and Ben's wedding day, I mentioned to Ben that the old wives' tale about rain on your wedding day means you're going to be wealthy. He said that he already felt like the richest man in the world because Emily agreed to marry him. Now if that isn't a sign of a beautiful love story, I don't know what is! Best wishes, Emily and Ben!

5 star review on our video services! Thanks Dmitriy and Audrey! Your wedding was awesome!
If you've already booked a wedding photography package with me, and you'd like to add on ceremony-only video, please reach out! I've got a special deal for you!
We also offer live-streaming, if you have guests who cannot attend your wedding in-person.
I wish every person in the world could experience a love like Audrey and Dmitriy share. Like many couples getting married in 2024, they dated during the pandemic and have already faced many challenges together. They share a love of music, hiking, and travel. There's no way I could do better justice to their love story than to just share portions of their vows, so here they are:
Audrey: "It's impossible to not feel warm and comforted in your presence. A life with you in it shapes people for the better. Loving you is the easiest and best decision I've ever made and it's a choice I will continue to make everyday for the rest of my life."
Dmitriy: "You and I are like two birds sitting on separate branches on opposite sides of a deep, dark ravine singing our songs to each other across a black abyss. And while sitting along in the dark was frightening, so long as I heard your song echoing back to me, I knew everything was going to be ok. I do not fear the darkness anymore, nor do I worry about the coming clouds ahead, the abysses we will have to traverse or the uncertainty forever brings, because as of today, I know forever now brings you."
Best wishes, Audrey and Dmitriy!

Renee and Caleb attended the same college and met on a study abroad program to Italy! Talk about romantic! Travel is integral to their relationship, as when it came time for the engagement, Caleb proposed on a church rooftop while on a trip together to Isreal. Besides traveling, they love watching movies together, going on long walks and enjoying a quiet cup of tea. Renee and Caleb - may your lives together be full of the best sort of adventures, because “In life, it's not where you go, it's who you travel with.” – Charles Schulz. Best wishes!

Matthew and Laura got engaged exactly one year prior to their wedding date and because 2024 is a leap year, it is actually 366 days in between, instead of the usual 365. That's significant because Laura and Matthew are definitely "out of the box" thinkers when it comes to planning a wedding, and having an extra day in a the exact year they were engaged is a story they aren't likely to forget! Check out Laura's wedding dress - just any white dress wouldn't fit this wedding and I love all of the detailed bead work. Her engagement ring features a Ruby, and Matt proposed with not only the ring, but a customized figurine made right here in Massachusetts. Matt's wedding day gift to Laura was an engraved brick with their names and wedding date that's headed to a special commemorative spot after the wedding. Cocktail napkins featured an image of their bird, Quill, and tables were named after special chapters in their lives.
Best wishes, Matthew and Laura. I hope this new chapter as a married couple is an amazing adventure!

Brianna and Mike met at work a few years ago and what started as a friendship grew into something more. They got engaged at while hiking Quiche Gorge in 2022. Their wedding was full of laughter and fun - the dancefloor was packed! Even Mike's grandparents got into the dancing! And check out the ceremony - they asked one of their groomsmen to double as the "flower man," - he did not disappoint. He was so into the role that he had a hard time staying on his feet, and it really loosened up the crowd to see that this wedding was all about the FUN! Congratulations, Brianna and Mike!
