Matt + Brandon
What a day! Matt and Brandon’s wedding at Harrington Farm in Princeton, MA, felt like a scene from a movie. The perfect autumn weather, falling leaves, and vibrant foliage set an incredible backdrop, with their navy and burgundy color scheme blending beautifully into the season.
Their first look allowed us to capture so many special moments before the ceremony, giving them time to fully enjoy their cocktail hour and reception—a fantastic choice for any couple! And who could forget their adorable 14-year-old ring bearer, Simba, stealing the show? Plus, we even had a surprise guest—a bear sighting during their photos! Though too quick for the camera, we all agreed it was a lucky charm.
Their ceremony, officiated by their friends Theresa and Scott, was deeply personal and touching, followed by a stunning reception in a beautifully decorated barn. Navy, burgundy, and breathtaking florals filled the space, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable celebration.
We are so grateful to have captured these memories for Matt and Brandon. Congratulations, you two! 🥂💍

Kara + Alex
Kara and Alex’s wedding at Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA, was nothing short of magical! 💍🎶 From the clear skies and stunning views to the sunset that perfectly capped off the evening, every moment was filled with love, fun, and music.
These two started their journey as bandmates in an indie rock band, and their connection through music shone brightly all day. Their friend and former bandmate officiated the ceremony, making it even more personal and special. And to top it off, Kara’s parents were married in the exact same spot 33 years ago, continuing a beautiful family tradition.
As the night rolled on, the dance floor was electric, especially when a song from Kara and Alex’s band played, bringing their story full circle. 🎸💃
It was a day filled with love, music, and memories that will last a lifetime. So thrilled to have been part of their celebration! Congratulations, Kara and Alex! 🎉

Jess and Jackson’s love for each other is so sweet- they like each other so much and it is obvious and infectious. It was a joy to be around them on their wedding day, surrounded by friends and family who were just as excited to celebrate their union.
Their wedding at Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA, was nothing short of spectacular. With stunning 180-degree west-facing views and Mount Wachusett as the backdrop, it might be one of the best views in Massachusetts.
The weather forecast originally called for rain throughout the day, but instead, it turned out to be a hot summer day without a drop of rain. The setup under the tent looked amazing with white linens and colorful florals. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making the day even more special.
Jess and Jackson had a private first look and exchanged private vows under enormous pine trees. Their ceremony was beautiful, with the expansive views behind them as they exchanged vows.
The reception was a blast, with guests enjoying the dance floor equipped with flip flops, glow sticks, and light wands. Everyone had the best time dancing the night away.
We are so glad to have been a part of their day! Congratulations Jess & Jackson!
Side note- it was also possibly the hottest wedding we have ever been to… stay tuned to the end for a cell phone photo of Joe- the sweatiest he has ever been, and just before he had to go change into his back-up clothes (yes, we bring back-up clothes to every wedding). Our goal at very hot weddings is to not pass out but we mentioned to each other, and then Jackson’s dad also pointed out during his toast, that this wedding would have been the place to have a medical emergency with Jess & Jackson and their colleagues from Boston Medflight and Tufts Emergency Department we were all in good hands. Thankfully no one needed medical attention and everyone just had a great time instead!

Lauren + Tyler
Lauren & Tyler’s wedding at the Barn at Wight Farm in Sturbridge, MA, was a perfect celebration of love and joy.
Lauren’s stunning dress with removable sleeves was a showstopper. The day started with a touching first look, followed by a fun and lively wedding party.
Lauren’s brother did an amazing job officiating the ceremony, making it so personal. Their first dance, choreographed to Taylor Swift’s “Lover,” was a highlight.
Congrats to Lauren and Tyler! Your wedding was a true celebration of love and happiness. 💕

Sam + Adam
Oh my goodness, the sunset! Lots of times on random weekdays there will be a gorgeous sunset and we think to ourselves “I wish this had happened at a wedding”. Well, Sam and Adam had one of the best sunsets we’ve ever seen! The sky absolutely lit up and the sunset lasted for so long! The unobstructed westerly views from Mount Wachusett at Harrington Farm in Princeton are always special but this was next level!
Sam and Adam had buried a whiskey bottle 30 days before their wedding to ensure good weather (and that led to a mishap with bees) but we have to say that superstition seems to have paid off because Hurricane Lee stayed offshore and brought very comfortable weather, a romantic fall breeze to the ceremony, and that amazing sunset!
Sam and Adam are the sweetest people and their friends and families are just wonderful and the reception was such a fun party! We had the best time working with them and are so grateful that they trusted us to photograph their day. Congratulations Sam and Adam!

Sophia + Alan
What an amazing wedding celebration Sophia and Alan had at Camp Ramah New England in Palmer, MA. It was a whole weekend event with their wedding ceremony taking place on Friday morning and their reception taking place on Saturday night. Events for guests spanned a few days and they had the whole camp to themselves! It was wonderful to work with Leora @one28events who coordinated everything so perfectly and made this multi-day wedding an absolute success (and is just so fun to work with)!
It was such a joyful occasion and these two had no cares in the world! Their first look took place on the camp docks and I was worried that they could fall into the water but they just laughed and told me to be sure I take photos if that happened. Their easygoing attitude made the day a great time and the ceremony and photos on Friday wrapped up just minutes before the thunderstorms rolled through.
Their celebration continued on Saturday night with the most epic hora and and a night filled with dancing and celebrating! Congratulations to Sophia and Alan and thank you for having us be a part of your day!

Jasmine + Joshua
The Old Mill in Westminster, MA is such a quaint New England setting and was the perfect spot for Jasmine and Joshua’s wedding. The forecast did not look promising at all but lucky for everyone it didn’t end up raining and it was a gorgeous day! Their friend, Elizabeth, performed the ceremony and did a wonderful job. The details were beautiful and everyone looked fabulous. The wedding party was great and a ton of fun to work with!
This crowd knew how to have a good time and the dance floor was packed all night long! I had such a great time and I am so thankful that I was a part of their day. Congratulations Jasmine and Joshua!
