To say I went through a box of tissues while editing these images may sound like a lie, but it is the darn truth. This lovely lady here, Maddie, has been my best friend and pen pal since we were 7 years old. To see her this happy and loved by a man who is so sweet, I just couldn't hold the happy tears in.
In a weird, cool way we have been on the same life path; she met Robert a month before I met Angelo, Angelo proposed to me a few months before Robert proposed to Maddie, they bought a house a year after us and their wedding is exactly 2 months after ours next year. It's always comforting to have a friends support while going through new life chapters, especially one who is going through similar chapters as you.
Cannot wait to share their full session this winter, but for now, a little taste of their session in the Tennessee mountains.
So much love for you both!

While photographing Kevin + Paola's wedding in Vermont this past weekend we made a quick little pitstop to photograph Everthine Bridal Boutique's new location in Burlington Vermont. It was absoultey beautiful and such a pleasure to photograph. Chelsea, the owner of Everthine, did such an amazing job designing and decorating her new boutique, so feast your eyes with some prettiness on this gloomy Friday. xo

Alex and Brenden decided to elope with close friends and family this past Sunday with a cruise on the CT River. Here's a little peek into their day of their first look. Aren't they the sweetest?!
These two, their day and their love is the reason for the big smiles on our faces on this Monday. What a beautiful, happy spirited couple Joshua + Michelle are. Here's a little peak into their wedding day. xx
Sunday morning Angelo woke me up and said, "Let's go on a Sunday morning drive. Let's make coffee and just drive nowhere. And we'll grab breakfast on the way home."
I was all for it! I grabbed the flower crown beautifully made by KLW Design that was left over from my Mama Mini sessions (I'm also a Motherhood Photographer over at Victoria Gloria) just in case we found a magical spot to take photos at. On our way back home with full bellies from breakfast on the side of the road we saw a dirt path that was calling our name. So we pulled over I threw on the flower crown, took my rain coat off and Angelo worked his magic.
This hidden gem is our new favorite place and we cannot wait to have an engagement session here with a couple. We didn't even capture half of the beauty!
When Jess, the drop dead gorgeous model of this shoot who is also a dear friend, asked me to be apart of this shoot I knew exactly where I wanted to do it. A few months before this shoot a bunch of my girlfriends and I got together and did a 70's themed shoot at a greenhouse. You can see that shoot here. The rustic urban feel from the green house of Leaf farm and the elegant gowns from Vicky Rowewent together like sugar & cinnamon. SO GOOD!!!
Grab a cup of tea and get cozy on the couch on this rainy day to feel inspired from this beautiful shoot.
Couldn't have done any of this without this incredible team so much love to you guys!;
