First look… or wait for the aisle?! 😍🤍

Okay, real talk this is one of the questions I get asked all the time. So I put together 5 reasons couples go for a first look. No pressure, just some perspective to help you plan a day that feels fun!

I’m not picking sides here. Want that quiet, emotional moment together before everything kicks off? Amazing. Prefer the classic “see each other at the aisle” moment? Also amazing. There’s no wrong choice only what feels like you two.

And don’t worry if you skip the first look, we’ll still get all the photos you want, just after the ceremony instead of before!

💌 Save this for when you’re finalizing your timeline, and send it to your partner so you can talk it through together!

Bottom line: There’s no “right” or “wrong.” Take a breath, feel it out, and pick the path that lets you soak in every single moment of your day

So… are you Team First Look, or Team See-You-at-the-Aisle? Drop your pick in the comments! 👇🏻

Maddie & Justin’s aquarium date was everything I hoped it would be and more 🐠✨

I was SO excited for this one, and even though the aquarium looked insanely packed when we walked in, we somehow ended up with minimal crowds and the smoothest little pockets of calm all day long. It honestly felt like everything just lined up perfectly!

Also getting to hang out with a previous bride & groom again?? Always the best feeling. We love seeing our couples come back for more memories together, it never gets old!

This was a total bucket list session for me, and I’m 1000% doing this again. Like… immediately yes please!

Some love stories don’t just become part of your portfolio… they become part of your life. 🤍

Today is finally the day Ariella & Noah get to say “I do,” and I genuinely don’t think I could be more emotional if I tried. Watching these two grow together over the last two years has been such an incredible thing to witness, not just as their photographer, but as someone lucky enough to become close with them along the way.

From our very first model call together, to Noah surprising Ari on top of Skinner Mountain asking her to marry him, to running around Maine during their engagement session completely obsessed with each other the entire time… every chapter of their story has felt so authentically *them.* Adventurous, intentional, wildly in love, and full of the kind of connection you can feel instantly just being around them.

So many of the photos in this post hold memories that feel bigger than just “taking pictures.” They hold years of cheering each other on, celebrating milestones, dreaming about this exact day, and watching two people continuously choose each other over and over again!!

Ari & Noah; thank you for trusting me to document your love story through so many important seasons of your lives. Ari, over these last couple of years you’ve become such a meaningful friend to me, and getting to celebrate this chapter beside you both means more than I can properly put into words!

We are SO freaking ready to celebrate you two today.
The countdown is over,
IT'S WEDDING DAY!!!!! 🥹✨

Morgan & Tyler rolled with the wild New England weather like absolute champs, danced through the cold, embraced the rain, and somehow made the beach feel like their own little world 🤍🌊

Maybe we didn’t get the dreamy sunset we planned for… but honestly, having the whole beach to ourselves made the rain totally worth it!!
