Ashley and Seth attended a friend’s wedding on beautiful fall day and were dancing the night away when they began to dance together. Seth asked his best friend, the groom, who the beautiful girl was he had danced with because he just had to see her again. Hearing that they met at a wedding, we […]

This past Saturday, we were privileged to experience Carolyn and Nick’s intimate wedding… collectively, our first wedding in months, and Maura’s first time shooting one since March! We woke up incredibly excited and thankful for the opportunity to do our jobs again. While COVID-19 has undoubtedly altered everyone’s plans and lives immensely, we watched this […]

We have known Elizabeth and Kayvan for a few years now, Brandon having met Liz through his work, and they quickly became good friends of ours. It then goes without saying that, as soon as they became engaged and asked us to do their pictures, we (like Liz had with her man) squealed, “Of course!” […]

Bridal sessions are a specifically Southern tradition that began in Europe…and we can’t recommend them enough!

Carloyn and Nick were introduced to each other by Carolyn’s former English teacher. How they hadn’t met before that is a mystery, because they both attended Boston University (where Nick would frequently but unknowingly attend Carloyn’s a-cappella concerts), and must have passed each other a multitude of times, completely unaware. After she graduated from BU, […]

Back in February, we did a special giveaway for Valentine’s Day. In order to enter, all couples submitted their love stories, and we received such magical entries that we extended it to have two winning pairs! One of these couples was Alejandrina and Pablo. She was taking a class that ended with a fantastic trip […]

Covid-19 has changed plans for countless people worldwide, and Joy and Manny were no exception. So many of our couples were forced to postpone their weddings, unsure of what regulations would be in place when their date finally arrived and worried for their guests, but Joy and Manny decided that no plague would be keeping […]

We think every bride should do a bridal portrait session, which is the southern tradition of a portrait session of just the bride in her dress before the wedding. It’s one of our favorite traditions […]
