Hampden, MA / Engagement / Taia & Frankie

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

I found this quote incredibly appropriate after photographing Taia and Frankie in such a beautiful environment. Every part of their session, the pastures, the barn, the water and the woods told a story of a couple in love who wished to be part of nature.

Quabbin / Engagement / Emalie & Chad

“The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.”

Another lovely day at Quabbin with Chad and Emalie for their engagement session.  Enjoy their love story through my images as we take a walk through nature filled with Emalie catching a frog:)

Trunk River, Falmouth / Engagement / Devon & Dan

“I dropped a tear in the ocean, and whenever they find it I’ll stop loving you, only then.”

The ocean is Devon and Dan’s element. It was a pleasure to work with such a sweet couple in an environment I love too. As life together inevitably becomes more and more hectic, the ocean will always be a soothing refuge. Enjoy this journey at the cape through these images and I am so looking forward to your wedding on the water as well xo

Terrydiddle Farm, Rehoboth / Wedding / Dave & Abbie

“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness–and call it love–true love.”
– Robert Fulghum, True Love

Abbie and Dave amidst all the toasts  telling of your unique personalities, I found this simple quote truly perfect.  You have found in each other the tic to your toc, the left to your right and the love that makes the merry go round! Wishing you both many years of happiness as you venture forth into married life.  And as always, sprinkled with a multitude of fairy dust to light the way xo

The Ranch, Southwick / Wedding / Tara & Tony

“Your prince will come one day. He may not ride a white horse or live in a big castle, but he will love you and only you.”

Tara has found her prince in Tony. He rode in on his bucket loader, scooped up her heart and rode off into the sunset. May their life continue to be filled with dreams come true and sprinkled with fairy magic every day.
