Romantic Post-Wedding Portrait Session at The Old Stone Church | Nicole & Andrew

There’s something so special about getting the chance to photograph a couple not just on their wedding day, but again afterward when everything has slowed down and they can truly enjoy the moment together. I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Nicole and Andrew’s wedding, and then meeting up with them again for a beautiful post-wedding portrait session — which I was beyond excited for!

Wedding days are filled with so many emotions, excitement, timelines, and celebrations. While those moments are unforgettable, they can also feel rushed at times, especially when trying to fit in portraits between everything else happening throughout the day. That’s why post-wedding sessions are truly such an amazing experience. They give couples the opportunity to slow down, relax, and focus entirely on each other while capturing those timeless, romantic portraits without the stress of a wedding day schedule.

For Nicole and Andrew’s session, we met at the beautiful The Old Stone Church — one of the most iconic and picturesque photography locations in Massachusetts. The scenery was absolutely stunning, especially with the soft colors of fall surrounding us. Even though it was a chilly autumn day, everything came together perfectly.

We spent the evening capturing so many beautiful moments between the two of them, and I’m so grateful they decided to schedule this session. Having that extra time allowed us to create the kind of portraits that every couple dreams of having — relaxed, romantic, and meaningful.

If you’re planning your wedding and considering a post-wedding portrait session, this is your sign to do it! It’s the perfect way to capture additional memories together without the pressure and fast pace of the wedding day itself. These sessions are always some of my favorites because they allow couples to truly be present with one another while creating beautiful images they’ll cherish forever.

Romantic Engagement at Rocky Neck State Park in Connecticut- Cristina & Matt

This was my first time at Rocky Neck State Park in Connecticut.  I enjoyed spending time with Cristina and Matt photographing their engagement session!! This park was really nice for photos, it had an old rock building with a great view of the ocean along with a jetty stretching out into the water and a beach area right next to the park. The sunset was beautiful and I was so happy we stayed until then to capture it!! 

All I can say is "WOW" their photos came out great and I got to capture their romantic moments.  We shared some great laughs together and had so much fun!!! I can’t wait for their wedding next year in September!!!  Here are some of my favorite photos from their engagement session. 

Summer Wedding at Saint George Orthodox Church and Wachusett Country Club in Worcester MA - David & Kristina 7.22.17

Congratulations to Kristina & David!!! This wedding was so much fun, from very early in the morning with everyone getting ready to the last song played that night at the Wachusett Country Club in Worcester MA! Everyone looked amazing!! The wedding ceremony at Saint George Orthodox Church was just beautiful! I wish David & Kristina the best and many long years together, they are perfect together as you can see. Honesty they didn't even need to pose to look amazing :) Kristina even had her college class from Fitchburg State University at the wedding! Here are my favorite photos from that day.

Colorful Garden Friend

Summer is so much fun with the warm weather, beach, ice cream and of course gardening. This year I planted basil from seeds. I tried it one year but didn't have any luck, this year though I watched over the seedlings and was able to grow a pot full!! Also found this little fella hanging out everyday on the leaves, I just couldn't believe how colorful he was so I had to photograph him. Now its time to make some pesto and pizza dough to make a Neapolitan pizza!!! 

Moore State Park Summer Engagement- Kristina & David

I was so excited for this engagement session and was really excited when Kristina asked me to do their wedding photos as well!!  I have known Kristina since we were young, we had some great times together - I just can't believe how time has flown by.

This was a very special moment for Kristina and David and I wanted to make it as memorable as possible for them.   Showing how much they love each other was easy to capture behind my lens.  

I have done many photo sessions at Moore State Park in Paxton MA and just love the different areas this park has to offer.  At our photo shoot we had the park to ourselves which made it a little bit more comfortable and relaxed for everyone. This was surprisingly their first time there and so I wanted to show them all the great spots (which needed us to do some climbing, but they didn't mind at all).

 These two looked so good together!! I honestly can't wait for their wedding!! 

If there was ever a great fairy tale photo shoot - this would be the one.  I wish them many happy memories.  Every picture we take holds a story and I have the pleasure of capturing their story.

 

 

Greek Orthodox Baptism- Little Yanni

I am so thankful that I could be a part of this special day for this family. Greek Orthodox Baptisms are very beautiful and traditional with the different prayers that are being read and how the god parent is involved throughout the ceremony.  This was the couple's first child so it was extra special and serious. Little Yanni looked really good in his white little hat and suspenders :)
