The most stunning wedding, truly beautiful couple, on the most perfect September day!

Something about the time between when it is just the two of you, to becoming "Mom + Dad." No feeling quite like it... and these two were like photographing a dream! Simply beautiful.

Where do I begin with this picture perfect proposal? It had “Coastal Americana” vibes written all over it with it being over Memorial Day Weekend, and with Nantucket all beautifully decorated for the holiday weekend. These two…Michael + Meghan were absolutely the sweetest couple ever, and just adorable in every way. Let’s just say this […]

When you plan an engagement session months in advance, you never quite know what the actual day will bring! You get excited, book the long weekend in Nantucket, make dinner reservations, book lodging (Hotel Pippa is the cutest little Boutique Hotel ever), make all the beauty appointments, shop for the outfits, etc. But regardless of […]

I met the Cosculluela family at Miacomet Beach in Nantucket over the 4th of July week for some family pictures, and the sights were nothing but dreamy! Including the family themselves. Jewelles is such a loving, beautiful Momma, and I just love the way she shined so bright. She was a so joyful and happy […]

Taylor and Jake… the all American couple who you can’t help but instantly love when you meet them. They both grew up together in New York, with family connections through childhood sports teams. Taylor’s brother played on the same team as Jake when they were kids, and her dad was his coach! Too cute! One […]

Erin and Zack… the words just fall short… I have wanted to blog this session since August, but it is just so over the top gorgeous, that it is like I just sit and stare at these portraits frozen in awe. But, I am catching up this winter on some beautiful work from last year, […]

Talk about the most beautiful Nantucket wedding day, for the sweetest couple. My favorite thing about Dylan and Christine is how light hearted they both are. They are both just so well balanced, and focused on the most important and simple things, and they both have such a calm about them. They are just happy […]

A session that left me feeling that reminder that sometimes, there is more than what meets the eye. It was something sacred and special, angels are truly all around us, more than we know. This session had a magic about it, everything just aligned so perfectly, the weather, the timing, her and I connecting just […]

From the moment Whitney and we chatted on the phone, I absolutely fell in love with her vision for her wedding, and absolutely loved her. She wanted simple, classic and elegant. She was so much fun, and so easy to talk too, and she simultaneously made me laugh about all the planning, and at the […]

Shared loves, that you have in common with another person… are always such a fun thing. And I know pretty much immediately, if I am going to absolutely love a potential client or not, but especially when we have this one particular shared love in common… and I am not just talking about Nantucket… but […]

The Smaltz family is one of those families that when I have photographed them over the years, I really have to reign in the “omg they are so darn cute” comments, because my brain just wants to say it non stop! I mean… just look at these pictures! They seriously could not be any cuter […]
