Wedding at The Ranch in Southwick, MA

Niki & Sean: Wedding at The Ranch in Southwick, MA I follow Niki on Instagram and kept seeing all of her wedding DIY photos. I instantly knew this was going to be a good wedding…. Then we showed up to the venue and saw Sean’s mustache and bowtie and thought that no, this will be an epic wedding! And it was. From all of the details, to their first look, to a huge but awesome bridal party, their day couldn’t have gone any better. Niki looked absolutely beautiful and was down to go anywhere and do anything for a good picture. At one point she told me she’d be willing to swim in the lake if that meant she’d get [Read More…]

Gina & Noah: Wedding at Look Park

Gina and Noah have been together for over 12 years! Needless to say, their friends and family we’re very excited for the two of them to take the walk down the aisle. Pat has known both Gina and Noah for years. He was friends with Noah growing up so he was really excited to be able to photograph their wedding and to be able to catch up with an old friend he hasn’t seen in years. Their wedding was really beautiful. Gina is in the fashion industry and got to design her own dress with a friend of hers. Gina knows exactly what she likes so she got her perfect dress. Their wedding party also consisted of her sister, his [Read More…]

Wilbraham Monson Academy Engagement Session

October, I officially love you! I think Jesslyn & Alan may have gotten one of the most beautiful days so far this month. We got to spend it with them at Wilbraham Monson Academy. They even got to bring their dog Blue along for a few of their photos and he was so cute. Alan’s mom and Pat did a little dance with treats in their hands behind me to get him to look toward the camera and it worked. Thank you two for that! There is no shame over here for making a fool of ourselves for a good photo. I absolutely love the first picture of the three of them, such a cute little family. Yes, their dog [Read More…]

Christina & Babe: A Massachusetts Farm Engagement

We met with Christina and Babe and they told us all about their plans for a barn/farm wedding. I obviously got really excited about this idea because there’s nothing I love more than an outdoor barn wedding! Plus, the atmosphere fits both of their personalities perfectly. Christina has 2 horses that were her grandfathers and they are kept on the grounds of where their wedding is going to be held. Luckily, Babe owns a landscaping company and is able to make the land perfect for their tented reception. She came up with the idea of having their engagement photos there as well and I’m so glad she did. It was so beautiful there! There really was no bad place to [Read More…]

Susan & Glenn: Stanley Park Engagement Session

Susan and Glenn may just have to be the most excited couple ever for their engagement session at Stanley Park in Westfield Massachusetts! Their excitement was infectious and we had the best time with the two of them! Not only were the down for anything we asked, but we barely had to give them any direction. They just fell into everything naturally. Their pictures really capture who they are as a couple. Fun, full of life and definitely in love! We originally had to reschedule their photos because of rain….after the forecast called for sun everyday leading up to it of course!! We were all a little bummed out but I’d say we all lucked out. It ended up being [Read More…]

A Look Into Our Weekend

A Look Into Our Weekend

Whew! My feet are sore!! No literally, I’m hobbling around like I’m 95 years old right now. We had such a great weekend capturing two weddings and an engagement session. October is by far our busiest time of year! I’ll take it though because after that, we have the winter off to relax and regroup. I know I’m going to miss shooting and seeing all of our clients once when the year is done though. Definitely bittersweet! I can’t wait to share the rest of these photos soon but for now, I’m going to go catch up on Real Housewives (gotta watch that New Jersey reunion!)and sleep for 12 hours straight. Oh, and make Pat massage my feet of course. I [Read More…]

Look Park, Northampton MA Wedding

Look Park, Northampton MA Wedding

Hannah & Nick: Look Park, Northampton MA Wedding Hannah reached out to us and said they were getting married at Look Park in Northampton, MA. I was instantly excited since that park holds a special place in our hearts because Pat proposed to me there! It felt good to be back there and especially to document Hannah & Nick’s wedding. These two are incredibly sweet and a breeze to work with. They lucked out with a beautiful *almost* fall day. It was one of those days we all love living in New England for! As Hannah was getting ready to walk down the aisle, Nick stood up there trying to calm his own nerves. He took a few deep breaths [Read More…]
