New England Wedding Photographer
WEDDING PHOTOS WITH
STORY AND STYLE
Your wedding day is filled with Meaningful Moments: glances exchanged with your new spouse, laughter shared with your best friends, and all your thoughtful details coming together into a sophisticated vision.
My goal is to preserve these moments with artistry and intention, so you can relive each one for decades to come.
For over a decade, I’ve photographed weddings across Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York with a refined, editorial approach. I love to blend history, architecture, and New England charm with the elegant details, raw emotions, and effortless beauty that make your wedding uniquely yours.
You deserve a photographer who brings ease and confidence to your wedding day. That’s why I balance creative direction with a documentary style, allowing you to be fully present while I preserve every moment for you.

FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN IS THE BEST
TIME TO BOOK?
As soon as you set your date! Let's start talking right away to secure your date and start planning your engagement session and big day!
I only take a select amount of weddings a year, so it is important to meet and chat details as soon as you know them.
THIS ALL SOUNDS GREAT! HOW CAN WE START?
Let’s meet! I’d love to get to know you two and make sure we’re the best fit before you book me to photograph your wedding.
We can chat over Zoom or the phone - whichever you prefer!
You can see available times and book your consultation HERE.
WHERE ARE YOU
LOCATED?
I am located in Eastern Connecticut. I service all of Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, and Massachusetts. Having a destination wedding?
I am also available for travel, and enjoy doing so! Please inquire about having me at your destination wedding.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT
TO SEE MY PHOTOS?
Within one week of your wedding day, you’ll receive a preview gallery with little snippets from each part of your day.
Your full gallery will be delivered 8-12 weeks after your wedding.
Plan a date night and relive your best day ever!
WHICH COLLECTION SHOULD WE CHOOSE?
No two weddings are alike, but my couples typically book 9 hours for the most comfortable amount of coverage.
As you look at the collections, consider the moments you want to have captured. Are you looking forward to the quiet getting ready time with your girls? Will you be on the dance floor all night with your partner? Do we need to account for travel time between locations?
Make a list of your must-have moments and unique details and we’ll discuss all of this at your consultation!
DO YOU OFFER PRINTS AND ALBUMS?
Absolutely! You can shop high quality prints and canvases right from your gallery - it’s super easy!
When you order an album, I’ll fully guide you through the design process.
I HAVE NEVER PLANNED A WEDDING. HOW DO WE CREATE OUR TIMELINE?
Not to worry - I’m here to make sure your wedding photography experience is as seamless and stress-free as possible!
Two months before your wedding day, you’ll complete the wedding photography questionnaire. This questionnaire is crucial for knowing the timing, details, and family & wedding party formal groupings. After submission, we’ll schedule a Zoom call where we can go over any questions and talk about your final vision.
You deserve to be fully present with each other at your wedding, so if you haven’t already, I’d recommend hiring a wedding planner or day of coordinator to help your day go as smoothly as possible. Once you book, I’ll send you my list of recommended planners.
CAN WE SEE A GALLERY?
ABSOLUTELY! I encourage you to visit the my portfolio of full galleries so you get the best idea of the photographs you will receive.
There is a caveat that all wedding days are unique due to personal style, needs of the couple, hours of coverage booked & weather.
HOW LONG ARE YOU ABLE TO HOLD A DATE?
After our meeting, I’ll send you a custom proposal based on the collection you’ve selected. I’ll place a courtesy one-week hold on your date.
Once you’ve signed our contract and paid the $1000 retainer, your date will be officially booked!
DO YOU OFFER
PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes! To book your date, I require a signed contract and $1000 retainer.
The final payment of the remaining balance is due 30 days before the event.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FOR OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
Time to get comfortable in front of the camera! We’ll discuss the best date, location, and time of day for your engagement session and will collaborate on the concept and vibe!. You can dress it up, keep it casual, or both!
This is an excellent opportunity to see exactly how I’ll pose you on your wedding day and for us to get to know each other better. With fun and easy going prompts, I’ll capture your relationship in a relaxed, no-stress fashion.
Engagement sessions include travel to CT, MA, RI, NY and personalized styling.

CONTENT CREATOR: A professional who produces engaging, high-quality visuals using an iPhone, often in the form of short video clips, to capture moments of the wedding day. They deliver raw footage quickly, providing couples with an immediate, authentic glimpse into their celebration. This content is typically shared on social media or other digital platforms, offering a real-time, cinematic experience of the event.
PRINT CREDIT: A credit available for you to shop your personal online gallery and order prints of your favorite images, ensuring that your photos make it into a tangible form. This credit can be applied directly to any print purchases, giving you the flexibility to select and showcase your wedding memories in the way that best fits your style. You also have the option to add additional print credits at half price when booking, allowing for more opportunities to preserve and display your photos.
ENGAGEMENT SESSION: A pre-wedding photo session that captures the couple’s love and connection in a relaxed, natural setting. While I strongly encourage doing an engagement session to help build our connection and deepen my understanding of your relationship, I understand that sometimes you may have already had photos taken or logistics may prevent it. In that case, I’m happy to exchange the session for a print credit, ensuring you still have a meaningful keepsake from your wedding journey.
FINE ART PRINTS: High-quality, professionally printed photographs that are crafted to preserve the true beauty and detail of the image. I only guarantee photos printed through my trusted lab, ensuring that each print meets my rigorous standards for color accuracy and visual impact. These fine art prints are available for purchase directly through your gallery, providing a seamless experience for you to order prints that beautifully capture your wedding memories. While you also have the option to download all images and print them wherever you choose, these trusted prints offer the best possible presentation of your moments.
RETAINER: The first payment made to secure your wedding date and officially book my services. The retainer is $1000.00 and is required at the time of booking to reserve your spot on my calendar. This payment is non-refundable and is applied toward the total cost of your wedding photography package.
PREVIEW: A curated collection of approximately 150 images from every part of your wedding day, delivered within one week of your wedding. The preview allows you to relive your day and get a glimpse of the moments captured, providing a beautiful sneak peek while you wait for the full gallery to be delivered. It’s the perfect way to revisit your celebration and share some of your favorite memories with family and friends in the days following your wedding.
REMAINING BALANCE: The amount due after the retainer has been paid, covering the remainder of your wedding photography package. The remaining balance is due 30 days before the event to ensure all details are finalized before your wedding day.
PHOTOGRAPHY ASSISTANT: A valuable team member who supports the photographer by handling logistics, setting up and breaking down equipment, managing lighting, and providing an extra set of hands and feet throughout the day. The photography assistant ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, allowing the photographer to focus on capturing the perfect moments while also contributing to the overall efficiency and flow of the event.
COLLECTION: A curated wedding photography package designed to suit a couple's unique needs and vision for their big day. Each Collection includes a selection of services, such as full-day coverage, engagement sessions, and the delivery of high-quality images, ensuring a personalized and comprehensive experience. Collections offer varying levels of coverage and add-ons, allowing couples to choose the best fit for their wedding style and preferences.
GLOSSARY
35 MM FILM: A medium that captures the raw, nostalgic essence of a moment, unfiltered and untouched. In wedding photography, 35mm film evokes a timeless, romantic feel, highlighting the natural textures, depth, and emotion of the scene. The grainy quality and distinctive color palette give each photo a unique, cinematic feel.
FIRST LOOK: A special moment before the ceremony where the couple sees each other for the first time in their wedding attire, often in a private or intimate setting. This moment allows for a more relaxed atmosphere, giving you the opportunity to capture beautiful, emotional portraits before the ceremony, and complete most of your wedding party and family photos. If you'd like to attend cocktail hour and ensure you have plenty of time for these important photos, a first look is a great idea. If planning to do a first look, I highly recommend booking 9 hours of coverage to allow ample time for these moments before the ceremony.
FULL GALLERY: The final collection of all the edited images from your wedding day, delivered through your personal online gallery. The turnaround time for the full gallery is typically 8-12 weeks, though I always work diligently to get your images to you as quickly as possible. This gallery provides you with high-resolution images that you can download, share, and print, preserving the memories of your wedding day for years to come.
PERSONAL ONLINE GALLERY: A personalized online space where you will receive both your preview and final gallery of wedding images. From this gallery, you can download all of your images in high resolution, perfect for sharing or printing. You can also share the gallery with family and friends, allowing them to view your photos and order prints if they'd like. This gallery does not expire, so you can access your photos at any time to relive your special day.
SECOND LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER: An experienced photographer who plays a key role in capturing the wedding day, working alongside the primary photographer to ensure that no moment is missed. The second lead photographer is capable of photographing a wedding day entirely on their own, should the need arise. This person is carefully vetted to align with my photography style, preferences, and personality, ensuring consistency in the images captured and a seamless experience for the couple. Having a second lead photographer on the team allows for more comprehensive coverage, offering different angles and perspectives throughout the day.
SIGNATURE ALBUM: A beautifully simple, high-quality wedding album designed to showcase your most treasured moments. The Signature Album features a one-piece wraparound cover design and includes 20 spreads with about 50 images, photographic paper, and a variety of page and cover options, all included in the price. There is also the option to add more spreads to accommodate additional images. Choose from multiple sizes and optional upgrades to create a customized album that reflects your style. This album is the ultimate keepsake for every couple, designed to become a timeless family heirloom that tells the story of your wedding day for generations to come.
