Brenna (she/her) and Natalia (she/her), are a Tinder success story all the way from Arizona. They both decided to take a vacay together to enjoy the iconic Boston foliage, and along the way, Brenna contacted me to set up a couple’s session with her and Natalia. As the session neared, Natalia sneakily DM’d me with a request: she wanted to propose during the shoot.
Read MoreI’ve been waiting with bated breath for Marlowe and Rae’s wedding day. Ever since meeting them at their enchanted forest tea party engagement session, I knew this would be something absolutely spectacular. These two have been working tirelessly to create an experience for themselves and their guests that would be unforgettable, beautiful, drenched in detail, and fantastical in nature. Marlowe and Rae both designed their ensembles, as well as made them by hand. Their first look was drenched in sunlight through the trees by a fountain, where they could both enjoy the fruits of their labor coming together beautifully.
Read MoreShira (they/them) and Colin (he/him) were wed at a lakeside summer camp in New Hampshire. They both have a deep love for the outdoors and sought to share that with their many loved ones on their wedding day — and boy did they succeed! It was a day of music, joy, song and dance — and really, really good food. And, the rain even stopped right in time for them! What more could one ask for on their wedding day?
Read MoreShaina (she/her) and Laura (she/her), while not unfamiliar with the East Coast, have spent most of their recent years between San Fransisco and Portland Oregon. Now they're back! They’re a Tinder success story whose first date was at an arcade; I found these two to be just as easygoing and playful in spirit as their taste in date spots! Drawn to the occult (“we’re both Scorpios”) and history, the Quincy City Hall’s timeless New England architecture called to them.
The cemetery next door was just a bonus.
Read MoreLaughter erupts over the swath of white chairs dotting the lawn at Harman’s Herb Farm. What the Studio Audience does not know is that in another minute they will be crying. (What the wedding photographer does not know is that the hanky they snatched from the strategically-placed-hanky-basket at the greeting line will not, after all, be exclusively used for polishing their lens.)
Bet you’ve never seen a slam poetry reading at a wedding. Bet you’ve never seen several. But that’s just the way Truj and Brian roll.
Read MoreI've been told love comes to you when you least expect it, and Caitlin (she/they) + AJ (she/her) are evidence of that. I am constantly overjoyed to capture queer love and tell the stories of creative, passionate people who found themselves in this wild world.
For their Boston engagement photoshoot, we started off in their lovely home adoringly decorated and fabulously stylish, before moseying over to the Arnold Arboretum with AJ’s motorcycle.
Read MoreJessica (she/her) and Stephanie (she/her) met through mutual friends in the Jamaica Plain queer community, which I know to be a vibrant and welcoming space. Having met these two for the first time on our shoot, I would also describe Stephanie and Jessica to be just that: vibrant and welcoming.
We enjoyed a summer stroll through the Arboretum, chasing the shade and enjoying the views. (And seeing some amazing dogs, too)
Read MoreRae (he/him) and Marlowe (they/them) have what I personally believe to be the Ideal in a relationship: creative harmony. They constantly pursue enrichment through the arts: from their professions, to their communities, to the clothes they wear — often handmade. When they contacted me about capturing their engagement and wedding, I knew from our first conversation we would get along. Rae and Marlowe’s lives are opportunities for creating, and I felt that when I met them, and felt that even more when I captured their engagement.
Read MoreI always love when I shoot with clients who feel like friends. Truj (they/them) & Brian (they/them) are just Like That - magnetic and companionable. When we first met, we talked for ages about everything: art, poetry, video games, tattoos, cosplay, music, travel, podcasts, food. They love everything, they want to know about everything, and they want to try everything, together.
It was clear to me that these are people who share a zest for life, and found each other to explore what it has to offer. That, personally, is what the Ideal truly is.
Read MoreThese two are extremely dedicated and invested contributors to the local arts. Shira (they/them) works as a director and dramaturg and Colin (he/him) is an experienced stage manager.
Together they invest their time and skill in showcasing the talent, thoughts, and works of the LGBTQIA+ artists and activists in the greater Boston area. Their dedication is evident in the work they do, and I can tell they build off each other, inspire each other, and most of all, support and love one another.
Read MoreIt was a beautiful sunny day. Not too cold, but it IS Boston in the winter, so naturally it was quite windy at the ICA, where these avid museum-goers were on a date that afternoon. Tucked away in a quiet shady corner by the water, Sylvie got down on one knee. Smiles and happy tears were had, which are my favorite things to photograph :) We made the windswept look work for us as we walked along the harbor, taking some photos in front of the gorgeous sunlit Boston skyline before warming up in a nearby cafe.
Read MoreI met Nate at Emerson College back when we were in school - it’s kinda crazy how time flies, thinking about it. Amidst marketing major blues, Nate was a pal that I could always sit next to and crack jokes with (I mean, totally pay total one hundred percent attention, totally!). So when he asked if I could photograph his wedding with his beautiful bride CJ, I was really touched and excited.
