Boston + New England Wedding Photography, Boudoir and Portraits bio picture

Hello.

I'm a Boston wedding photographer with a photojournalistic approach.  I also love fun, candid portrait photography and boudoir sessions.  My style is modern, organic and emotional, with a little bit of goofball thrown in.  My specialties?  Decisive moments, big hugs, dramatic backgrounds, perfect details, sideways glances, goofy expressions and raw emotion.

My favorite things in the world are beer (a pint of Manny's or my hubby's home brewed porter), food (cheese or sushi, yes please!) and warm, geeky, loving, smoochy people and their doggies.  If you're looking for my website, click here.  And don't forget to leave a comment on one of the posts below - comments make me happy.


UW Campus + Blue Ribbon Culinary School Wedding: Mary + Jay

Oooh, my wedding on Saturday was so awesome!  After a week of gray skies and rain, the sun came out for us on Saturday morning as I headed out to the UW campus to meet Jay, Mary and their wonderful friend and officiant, Erin.  The cherry blossoms aren’t quite in full bloom yet, but the light was perfect and we had so much fun wandering around in the sunshine for an hour.

At 11am we headed over to Blue Ribbon Culinary School, a new venue for me and an instant favorite.  The staff is wonderful and it’s a very cute little place right on Lake Union … and of course the food is amazing.  We had a full spread of Asian wonder-foods, including carrot, apple and jicama salad, Panang chicken curry (our dish of the day) and super fresh and tasty shrimp skewers.  Such a treat!  We even got to sit with some of Mary’s best friends for lunch and it was really fun getting to know them (hey guys!)

The ceremony and toasts were the best kind of emotional, with equal amounts of giggles and tears.  And I love how Mary and Jay had their closest friends and family members perform all the important roles.  Everything was so perfect at this lovely wedding, not least the cake (yum!  Thank you, Cake Envy) and the cake-cutting … during which they broke the knife, oops!  It was very cute :-)   I hope you’re having a gorgeous honeymoon, and that you enjoy your teaser photos below, and the teaser slideshow (click here).
