Sometimes us wedding photographers get really really lucky and connect immediately and deeply with our clients. From the first email shared there is a flow and understanding that permeates all subsequent interactions.


I was lucky enough to connect with Ali and Matt this way and I so thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them and feel so lucky to have witnessed their beautiful 2024 Solstice wedding.


Through clouds and rain, they were present and joyful at every moment, which allowed me to be in my best state of mind to capture all the adorable action and passing moments of their day. Even when rained moved their ceremony indoors, Ali and Matt and their crew rolled with it and created a magical wedding.


I was thrilled to have Emma of Love + Lichens along to second shoot this wedding, capturing Ali getting ready at the Landmark Inn and countless amazing shots throughout the day.
