Lauren was a rockstar bridesmaid at the beautiful and energetically fun wedding of Emily and Matt in Chatham a couple years ago, so we were genuinely thrilled and grinning ear to ear when she contacted us about photographing her own wedding to Jon.

You guys. I don’t have words to adequately describe how excited I am that these two — Katie and Patrick — are “our” couple. For one, Katie is one of the funniest, joyful, positive people I know. She lived right behind one of our closest family friends growing up so we knew each other quite well from overlapping play dates. We swam together every summer of our childhood at the same country club (N-o-r-t-h Hempstead!) and we went to the same high school (she was my sister’s year). But that is nearly a lifetime ago for Katie, who was literally run over by a truck…

Hannah and Sam are getting married in one of our favorite venues in the greater New England area, the White Barn at South Farms in Connecticut this coming June.

Dasha and Matt are getting married in less than one month! Here’s a look back at their engagement session last August. We strolled around the Back Bay, taking in the warm late summer evening.

We are getting super excited for our 2019 wedding season. Here’s a look back at Hannah and Dan’s Beacon Hill engagement session that took place back in early November.

We had the best time with Jenny and Jay doing a fast tour of all their favorite spots in Chatham for their engagement shoot. What’s not to love…

We're enamored with this waterfront neighborhood of Annisquam in Gloucester, MA where we did Emily and Ed's Engagement session. We feel pretty lucky to have snagged up this awesome couple's wedding, which we're photographing this weekend in NH. Emil and Ed couldn't be nicer and they have some pretty awesome plans ahead. We can't wait to capture the celebration!

While traveling to the Bay Area over the holidays, we were able to catch up with Vanessa and Ryan for their engagement session. They bundled up for the photogenic San Francisco grey weather and and obliged with some cuddling, which turns out is also photogenic.

We had such a nice time on the Cape getting to hang out with Alyssa and Andrew in Osterville. We took engagement photos at some of their favorite spots in the area, met their parents, and did a walk through at the Oyster Harbors Club, where they are getting married in two weeks.

We are currently in New York for the weekend to kick-off our wedding season, photographing Katie and Tim's wedding tomorrow at the Fordham University Church and Monteverde at Oldstone. But before we do that, we wanted to share some/many favorites from their Montauk engagement session a couple weekends ago. 

We are so excited to share photos from Anastasia + Matt's engagement session at Sands Point Preserve in Long Island, NY. We had such a nice time hanging out with them and their sweet little rescue pup, Scrappy. Matt is a New Yorker but he's a full on 49ers fan so Cole instantly had a man-crush on him. :)

Excited to share this fun family photo shoot in the North End with the Lamb family. We started off in Christopher Columbus park and then headed over to finish at the Greenway Carousel. This was sort of a farewell to life in the North End as Jimmy, Brianne, and sweet little Audrey moved out to the 'burbs shortly after this shoot. We are so glad we got to capture these happy moments in their original home. We had the best time goofing around with these three. 

We had the best time with Matt, Jenn, and Dylan taking their family portraits in West Hampton at the end of the summer. Now that I'm finally getting around to sharing these on the blog -- I had to be pretty ruthless narrowing them down because I have so many favorites!  The subjects and locations were pretty stellar, as was the glow-y golden hour light. Dylan is adorable and charming -- on the move! -- and couldn't have been better behaved for the full hour portrait session. In fact, I think he downright enjoyed it

We had a home run family portrait session with the Stephenson's at Walden Pond. This little guy Graham did not stop smiling or kissing or hugging his parents the entire time. I don't know what they put in his milk but this kid is a pure bundle of joy. Thanks, Stephensons, for letting us be the ones to photograph your beautiful, awesomely happy little family!

We love photographing families in their own homes or backyards -- it's so personal and comfortable. And what a beautiful home the Garmey's have! Their backyard is along the Sudbury River in Concord, MA and was picturesque on a beautiful autumn day. Thanks, Garmey's, for inviting us into your home to take these special photos of your family!

We took the Therrien Family portraits this year on the campus of Boston College nice and early in the morning. Claire brought her two year old "A" game and made mom, dad, and Cole work for her smile -- but we gottttt it!! :)

Another lovely family portrait with the Smith family in Concord this past fall! You can't really take a bad picture of this handsome family and a perfect warm fall day surrounded by nature isn't so bad for a backdrop, either.  Thanks, Smiths, for another happy family photo shoot!

Pardon our belated summer portrait blog posts on the verge of winter, but it is kind of nice to reminisce about lush green foliage and adorable kiddos donning seer sucker, isn't it?  We did this double family portrait session in Central Park -- two Kilmartin families in one portrait session. 

We met up with our bride and groom and their son Oliver at their future wedding venue, Mass Audubon Habitat, in Belmont MA for a family portrait session. While they are already married, they are having a ceremony and reception next fall to celebrate with friends and family.

We love the Perlovs. I think it's quite clear from these family portraits, taken at the lovely Cavallo Point and Horseshoe Cove in Sausalito, that we have too much fun with this family. We get amazing photos of them pretty quickly because they are all gorgeous, tan California Dreamboats and then we just let the kids (and parents) be them silly selves and we all laugh until our cheeks hurt.

We took family portraits of the Vlahos Family in their backyard on Manhasset, Long Island right before they made the big move to Miami this summer. It was so fun to get to capture Colleen and Nick interact with their baby girl, Gracie. I have known Colleen pretty much my whole life (and we photographed their wedding just two and a half years ago!) so it's a little surreal to see her "all grown up!".

It's "the more, the merrier" in the Stephenson family! (Even though we didn't think they could ever be happier than this day at Walden Pond.) Their newest addition, a beautiful baby girl called Elise. Graham, Elise's big brother, who has previously impressed us with his joyful and exuberant energy, showed us a whole new lovable side during this at home newborn and family portrait session in Concord, MA.

Cole and I made a quick trip to Garden City, NY to visit for a newborn portrait session of Baby Perry at a wee 10 day days old.

A new member of the Cronin family arrived into the world and we had the pleasure of capturing newborn photos in the family's home this past August.  We of course had lots of fun with our dear old friend Charlotte and were instantly smitten her new little brother, William Bradford! It was so sweet to see Charlotte give "Silly Willy" (as she referred to him in the cutest voice ever) lots of kisses and unprompted loving gazes. 

We photographed baby Margot at the families home in Concord, MA this past July. It was a beautiful, warm summer day and Margot's older sisters, Polly and Dot, were happy to share the spotlight with their little sister. We took some photos in the girl's bedroom and then headed out into the backyard. Polly and Dot ran around, picked blackberries, and baby Margot slept peacefully in her mom and dad's arms.

We're so excited to share these newborn portraits of baby James Patrick! We did family portraits for the Smith's back in the fall. We later found out that at the time we took those pictures, Maribeth was pregnant with this little guy! We also did an official Maternity photo session, many weeks later, with Maribeth at their beautiful home in Needham.
