I read this morning that May is national mental health month, and I found myself grateful that we live in a day and age where mental health is no a taboo subject to talk about, and where there is so much more access to therapy, education, and tools that prior generations had.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​My entire life I considered myself to be someone of sound mind. These last few years, however, I've found myself struggling to keep my mind and heart at peace.

2 Timothy 1:7 says "For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind"

Hi, I’m Alicia! 👋🏼 ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I’ve spent the last 15+ years photographing luxury weddings, and now I’m teaching others how to do the same. The world has truly been my muse- I’ve photographed in 36 different countries and lived in Europe for 5 years before settling my family into our cozy home in preppy Connecticut. Although I do dream of someday owning a small farm…🐓

Over the years, I’ve learned how to attract exquisite weddings and romantic couples each and every wedding season.

But my biggest adventure to date will always be the life and family I’m building and the legacy I leave behind.

I love pushing people to achieve their potential and I’ve created some amazing tools to share that I’ve gathered along the way of mastering luxury photography and running a multi six-figure business. If you are ready to take your photography to a new level of chic artistry and attract your dream clients or have the wedding photographed in an effortlessly romantic way then follow right along or click the link in my profile to access some of my favorite free tools and tips! 🥰

As an entrepreneur, I think one of our biggest pitfalls is that we are always moving from one project to another - landing that next client, deciding where to go next, pushing the envelope a little more - forgetting the importance of taking the time to celebrate how far we’ve come.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I want you to pause for a second. If you’ve made it this far, you’ve already stopped your scroll - YAY!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Let’s celebrate wins together. I would love for you to comment below with a couple of your recent wins so I can cheer you on too!! What is something you're proud of this month?

For most of my life I've love the thrill of April Fools Day and, specifically, playing pranks on my Mom. The last couple years I've been teaching my kids the art and mastery of crafting a perfect April Fools Day joke, despite the fact that they *always* ruin the joke ahead of time. Last year we got some fake mice - my husband is petrified of rodents - and placed them randomly throughout the kitchen. My son, who was 6 at the time couldn't contain his giggles as he told my husband he thought he heard some squeaking behind the baking jars so my husband, a good sport, pretended to freak out, screamed and ran away. To this day, my kids still laugh about it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​In the vein of having some fun on April Fools Day, tell me which of the following statements about experiences I've had you think is untrue:

- I have jumped into Copenhagen harbor butt naked
- I once French kissed a camel when it stuck it's tongue into my mouth
- I went on a date one night in Hurghada, Egypt with a random man I met earlier that day
- I got caught peeing on the side of the road in Iceland by a cop and was threatened a fine
- I once left the airport during a layover in Brussels just to get a box of my favorite Belgian chocolates, nearly missing my flight home

Ok, which of the about statements is untrue? And yes, I've had some fun abroad, though all of the above happened in my 20's ;)

“If the tomb wasn’t empty, I would be.

If the tomb wasn’t empty, our hope would be.

If the tomb wasn’t empty, our hearts would be.

But because the tomb is empty, our lives aren’t.

Only because the tomb is now empty, are our souls full.”

- Ann Voskamp

Happy happy Easter, from our family to yours ❤️

I'll never forgot the start of 2022 when I was planning and dreaming for the year. I wrote down some specifics in my journal of where I wanted to work, and who I want to work with. On the top of my list was Italy - I had been there on vacation but had never photographed a wedding there. I also wrote down the names of some planners I wanted to work with either for the first time, or work with again. I was dreaming big, praying hard, and believing that the right people would come. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Literally the DAY I wrote those things down, a dream client sent an inquiry and booked within 3 days. ⠀

In a few weeks I'm headed back to Italy to photograph another incredible wedding with one of those planners I've been wanting to work with again (looking at you - can't wait to rendezvous in Europe) and it serves as a reminder that committing your dreams and goals to paper, and doing the work it takes to make it happen is always worth it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Write it down, friends. And start here. I would love to know below some specifics of WHO you want to work with and WHERE you want to work this year or next year! Drop a comment so I can cheer you on!⠀⠀

PS -scroll to peep become boat ride around Capri with her friends and family.

It's officially bo***ir season, and I'm here for it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Who is a bo***ir session for?

Any woman that wants to feel and look the best and sexiest version of herself. These sessions are often booked as a gift for your spouse/fiancé, but most women don't realize how much of a gift it is for themselves.

I have 2 spots left for this month if you want to have your images back by Valentine's Day. Drop me a DM or a comment below if you would like to inquire!

Am I about to get lit up for this? 😉 wedding vendors, I would love for you to chime in with your thoughts. Last brides, weigh in too. What do you guys think about taking a period to rest and just enjoy being engaged without jumping into planning and decisions?

My mood as I head into the most lull week of the year ✌🏼

How do you approach the week between Christmas and new years? Do you binge watch Netflix, eat leftovers, and sleep a lot? Or are you the type to hustle hard the last few days of the year in preparation for a fresh start?

I am somewhere in between. This is usually the only week of the year I watch any TV, although I have no plans to this week (why was there no new season of Emily in Paris?!? 😭). Adam and I generally take this week to reset our house, knock out a couple home projects, and reorganize some spaces. We have a long list of projects to do but the only one we will get to this week is converting the guest bedroom into a gym (FINALLY getting out of the basement dungeon!). Beside that, I’m in chill mode. We are headed to Greenwich, CT for the night to get away, just the two of us. Then later this week we will go to Montréal to ring in the new year over fondue, vin chaud, and hopefully a little bit of snow.

I would love to know what you do this week and if you’re relaxing or working 😘

This was always my favorite season when I lived in Copenhagen. It was these Autumn days where the sun dipped low in the sky earlier and earlier, a cool breeze whipped through the city streets during the day and a bite was definitely in the air at night. It was the days of sunshine on my skin while I wore a tan trench coat while biking to and from the city center to meet a friend for coffee (chai latte for me). The days of prepping for a long, cold, dark winter ahead, but the changing of the season always ushered me into a season of rest and coziness. Hygge, as the Danes call it. And it was my favorite thing. With candles lit and jazz music playing, warm things baking in the oven, and friends drinking wine at my table, they were some of my most favorite and cherished days of my life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been a lot of places in my life. I’ve lived in a few of them. There’s no questioning my patriotism and love for my home country of America, but there is something about Denmark that will always hold a very big piece of my heart. And yes, as much as I said I would probably never live there again, I wonder if I someday I’ll return. I find myself reminiscing frequently over how much that small country changed me, and I think I’ll a carry part of Danish culture with me for as long as I live. The community, the simplicity, the appreciation for the mundane, the beauty, and even the moodiness.

Putting the finishing touches on the wedding I photographed in Italy last month, and I’m over here wondering if I should just market myself to Italy because the weddings I was part of this year there were 😍😍😍

If you could photograph a wedding anywhere in 2024, where would it be? On the top of my list: France! I have photographed many sessions there, but have yet to photograph a wedding. Who has a connection of someone that is getting married there and needs a photographer? 😉

Actual footage of me outside today, the last weekend of October, when it’s 78° and sunny in Connecticut. 😉 Scroll to see the most beautiful, all natural hair I’ve ever seen in my life. I thought Abrar was wearing a hair piece, so you can imagine my jaw dropping when she told me it was 100% all her own hair.

Arguably my favorite part of the wedding day, I love when there is ample time for the bride and her ladies to get ready, take beautiful portraits, and for me to have the time and space to have fun with the detail photos.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These photos set the stage for the wedding day, between the meticulously curated details and the obvious juxtaposition of both nerves and excitement seen on the faces of the bride, her parents, her sister and her friends. Truly, the morning of your wedding is such a special time.

It’s my first day back in the office since returning from Europe and, as it turns out, it wasn’t a day in the office at all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I spent the morning driving up to the Berkshire mountains to visit a new venue, , to check out more of the space and take some photos of the venue for them to use.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This space is perfect for couples looking to get away from the hustle & bustle of NYC or Boston, out in the countryside where it’s quiet and quaint. The property offers a wide variety of options for both the ceremony and reception, and I love how passionate the owner is about the space. The history here is incredible, and I can’t wait to come back for a wedding.

Europe or New England?

You may never know 😉 (just kidding - it was in New England, which is one of the reasons I love the north east so much, because so many books and crannies feel like Europe)

Always a fan of a floral chandelier. ❤️

I missed national breast cancer awareness day last week, so here's your friendly reminder to check your bo***es, ladies!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​In addition to regular check ups, I am diligent about removing cancer-causing toxins from our home and limiting exposure to EMF's, radiation, and (so many 😵‍💫) other things that are toxic. You are the gatekeeper to your home, your body, and your health so treat it with the respect and diligence it deserves.

I also use a bi-annual "healthy breasts" protocol that is a 6 day routine of layering specific essential oils from Young Living (I'll post the link to them in my stories). Every morning for 6 days, twice a year, I rub the following oils all over my girls...
Sacred Frankincense + Thug
Sacred Frankincense + Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood
Sacred Frankincense + Myrtle

The best treatment is prevention. 😘

If you should know anything about me, it is that I love to travel. If you have ever, for even a moment, desired to do your engagement session somewhere that isn’t locally, just know that I am here for it and would love to travel with you! Copenhagen in the Spring? Iceland in the Summer? Paris in the Fall? Switzerland in the Winter? Wherever you dream of having an incredibly romantic engagement session, I would love to chat with you about making it happen.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A pre-wedding trip could be the perfect escape for you if wedding planning is becoming stressful. It doesn’t have to be a long, luxurious vacation, but hopping over to Paris, Montreal, Brussels, or London for a long weekend could be the exact break you need.
