Your wedding day is made up of moments you feel more than you see. I’ve built a photography experience that’s easy, intentional, and focused on capturing your connection and the story unfolding around you. I’m not here to stage perfection – I’m here to document what’s already there.
For love stories worth holding onto.
The AWP Experience
You don’t need a reason to celebrate your love — but if you have one (or don’t), that’s more than enough. Think photos that feel like your favorite love song: a little moody, a little playful, and completely you.
just-because
Engagement sessions are our chance to connect before the big day. They’re relaxed and low-pressure – a space to get comfortable in front of the camera, see how we work together, and shake off any nerves. By the time your wedding day arrives, we won’t feel like strangers showing up ... we’ll feel more like friends.
couple sessions
On your wedding day, everything moves quickly – emotions, people, moments – and that’s where we settle in. With a steady, observant approach, we read the room, anticipate what’s coming, and document the day as it unfolds. No rushing, no over-directing. Just space for you to be fully present while the story of your day is captured quietly and thoughtfully around you.
Weddings
Shoot me a message and I’ll respond within 48 hours with all the details: availability, next steps, and how we’ll make your photos feel like you.
01. Say hello
When you’re ready to book, I’ll send over a contract and invoice to secure your date. After that, it’s all about getting excited.
02. Lock It In
Before the big day, you’ll receive a questionnaire and we’ll hop on a final call to make sure everything feels clear, comfortable, and true to you.
03. Plan Like a Pro
Come exactly as you are and stay focused on each other. I’ll offer direction when needed, but mostly I’ll give you space to move, feel, and be present together.
04. Show up & soak it all in
You’ll get a sneak peek within 48 hours, followed by a full gallery within four weeks — filled with images that feel real, emotional, and completely you. Share them, print them, cry happy tears. Repeat forever.
05. The big reveal
The Process
Just show up, love hard, and I’ll handle the rest
Things rarely go exactly as planned, and that’s where the good stuff lives. The wind picks up, someone laughs through the vows, a moment unfolds you couldn’t have scripted. Those are the moments worth remembering. The photos that last are not the posed ones, but the ones that feel like you.
Just the real stuff.
Anywhere that tells your story. I shoot all over New England and beyond. Coastlines, mountains, city streets that feel alive & anywhere with swoon-worthy light and good energy.
Where do sessions take place?
Weddings tend to book 12–18 months in advance, with peak dates filling up even sooner. For couples sessions, 4–6 months ahead is usually perfect.
How far in advance should we book?
You’re not alone, and you’re not actually awkward, I promise. I’ll guide you through everything and keep the vibe relaxed, fun, and easy. We’ll laugh, move around, and forget the camera’s even there.
We’re awkward in front of the camera— help?
Oh absolutely. Once you’re booked, I’ll send over a full guide with outfit tips and location ideas. Want to send me options? I’ll be your honorary stylist.
Can you help with outfits and locations?
Yes! I’ll hop in my car or on a plane if your love story’s taking me somewhere new. Travel fees vary based on the location, just reach out and we’ll chat.
Do you travel?
Heck yes. Your photos deserve more than a folder on your desktop. I offer heirloom albums, fine art prints, and polaroid albums to turn your images into keepsakes.
Do you offer albums and prints?
