In my usual fashion, I will now be posting things waaaay after they happened. It doesn’t make it less beautiful, though, right? I LOVED our engagement shoot with Joyce and Andrew on a warm winter day (so warm that I willingly went from photographer to coat sherpa so we didn’t die of heat exhaustion- just another perk of having two photographers!) I love the chemistry that Joyce and Andrew have- they laugh a lot and are really connected to one another. In almost every photo, Andrew is looking down at Joyce with this warm stare, like he’s riveted by everything she does. It was awesome to be a part of documenting their engagement… Plus, they were also willing to try anything or do anything which is always fun for us!
(stand in oncoming traffic? no problem! meet at the crack of dawn to get the best light? sure!)
We can’t wait for their fall wedding at the Warren Center!


I love sun flare!

I also love kissy faces! hahaa



look at that foliage! Makes me miss fall!



I feel like this is a quintessential Boston shot. So beautiful.

Last but not least is Erin & Dustin’s New York Reception. Held at a former winery, Erin really tailored the event to them- wine from around the area, large canvas prints from the wedding in Jamaica around the room, 4×6s of the wedding as favors… the food was even made from food grown in her and her grandmother’s gardens. It was beautiful.

Since most destination weddings have multiple events, I was there to cover several different moments: the rehearsal dinner, getting ready, the ceremony and reception, and a day-after shoot. THEN, a few weeks after the Jamaican Wedding, Jesse and I traveled to Erin & Dustin’s Upstate NY wine country wedding that they shared with their extended group of family and friends. It was the best of both worlds- an intimate destination wedding (with tons of destination wedding photography, of course) and a big party back home!
Location: Ocho Rios Sandals Resort in Jamaica

Essentially, communication with your photographer about what you envision and who you are… and an engagement shoot!
Here it is said much better than I have:
