Kristine + Steve met us at one of our favorite Florida locations for a sweet stroll around the lovely Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens for their engagement session. Hailing from NYC, this couple has an incredible wedding day planned for this winter in Miami; we were so happy our schedules aligned so that we could also shoot their engagement session before the big day! Check out a few of our favorites with these two lovebirds…
Our 4th of July holiday weekend kicked off with Mai-Vi + Paul’s intimate wedding in Boca Raton on July 3rd. We were blown away by the relaxed atmosphere of the small group of relatives and close friends, and felt immediately welcome. Mai-Vi started her day by going on a “fun run” with her girls (“just ten miles”– wow!), and then settled into her air conditioned suite at the Boca Raton Resort + Club to get ready.…
Going into Alex + Jared’s Palm Beach destination wedding we knew that they were drawing people from all over the United States and beyond. Friends and family came from Boston, New Hampshire, California, and Alex’s grandparents flew from nearby (ha!) Romania. (They were a delight.) Some flew in for New Year’s Eve celebrations a few days before the big day, some flew in for the rehearsal, and some were delayed on their way back out…
Anna + Michael found us through their beautiful ceremony venue, the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens in West Palm Beach, Florida. Planning from far away Colorado, we didn’t have a chance to meet them until a couple of days before the big day, but their excited conversation and laid back, easy going personalities were infectious, and immediately won our hearts. Asking us to focus on capturing the day through candids, with a priority on their guests…
There’s nothing like a summer day in Vermont. Hiking a hill in the warm sun carrying clothing and equipment for a portrait session may not appeal to everyone, but Emily and Margot both grew up in this beautiful state; dodging cow patties, avoiding brambles, and eating crab apples are all just part of the experience. This I Love Vermont session is to celebrate Margot’s 30th birthday this year; we couldn’t think of a better location…
We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather; it was the kind of early fall day when it’s still warm, but the heat of summer has mercifully fled. A clear sky, a light breeze, and a kiss of warmth from the sun made this session perfectly pleasant, an absolute delight to shoot. We had been traveling in the northeast for over a week at this point (see Em’s travel photography on Instagram), encountering a variety…
Alright, so we weren’t quite finished with Nicole + Scott (if you haven’t seen their wedding post, click here to check it out). The day after their wedding we took some time to wander around Naples in more casual clothing (Nicole had a reception dress she never had a chance to wear… perfect!). As much fun as we always have during the nerves-stretched-tight excitement of wedding days, day after sessions have an amazing feeling of…
After a relaxing day wandering Key West (and playing with the kitties at the Hemingway Home… see one of Em’s instagrams here) we met up with Cindy + Alan to visit some of their favorite parts of the town and take some portraits minus the crazy atmosphere of the wedding day. To beat the heat we had a snack at Kermit’s Key Lime Shoppe, where we discovered that chocolate covered key lime pie on a stick,…
There’s nothing quite like the hush of a sleepy Sunday afternoon in an elegant Southern city. Tina + Angelo donned their wedding clothes again for a relaxed day after session with us in Charleston, the festivities of the night before fading to a happy memory. We love sessions like this… everyone is tired, but the afterglow of the wedding still hangs in the air. Seeing the gentle touch of love between a new husband +…
Julie + Brian planned one of the most laid back, relaxing weddings we’ve been to… but how could it be anything but relaxing at a beautiful resort in the US Virgin Islands? We joined the happy couple and a small group of close family and friends for a weekend celebration of Julie + Brian’s love and marriage at the Sugar Bay Resort + Spa on St. Thomas. The weather looked threatening leading up to the…
We are beyond psyched to be shooting Julia + Kevin’s wedding next May! Em met Julia in tenth grade in New Hampshire, when they were both “new kids” in the school. (Life has certainly improved since those angsty teenage years!) We first met Kevin when Julia brought him as her date to our wedding two years ago; we noticed then that he seemed way cooler than we are, and that hasn’t changed a bit. Since…
We got together with Tiffany + Mike for a Day After Session in Jupiter last week (sometimes we do these on the literal day after the wedding; usually they’re later unless it’s a destination wedding!). Didn’t Tiffany look stunning back in her dress?? We loved that she was adventurous enough to climb a tree (and that her firefighter husband was able to lift her up there like it was nothing… gotta love those strong rescuers!).…
Remember Lowery + Brian’s engagement session earlier this year? We’ve been looking forward to their wedding ever since! While we’re lucky enough to live in paradise, we love seeing our sparkling nook of South Florida through the eyes of our clients who travel so far to have their wedding here. Lowery has dreamed of having her wedding here for quite some time; the first time she visited her parents’ friends’ home in Jupiter Inlet Colony,…
We are so excited for Rebecca + Patrick’s first baby… their little boy is due in June! Emily went to their home to capture Rebecca during this special time in her life (along with a few shots with Patrick, of course). Can’t wait to meet their son next month… in the meantime, click below to see a few of our favorite images from their belly session, and click here to be notified when the rest…
We had a great afternoon with Christina + Ryan, starting at the Jupiter Lighthouse and finishing at Coral Cove Park for some beachy shots. The weather was threatening, but held off the entire time we were outside! How cooperative. :-) Despite living in Jupiter for the past 6 years, Em had somehow never been to the Lighthouse before (and Steve hadn’t been since elementary school), so it was a really fun experience… add in a…
We’re so excited for Tina + Angelo’s wedding this fall! We traveled to Atlanta, Georgia for their engagement session last week, and had fun exploring Little Five Points and Piedmont Park with them. It’s always so much fun to leap into the challenge of shooting in a new (to us) location! The colors and textures of Little Five Points were awesome, and Piedmont Park is lovely in April, full of lush greens and the beautiful…
Saturday was one of those spring days in Florida where the weather looked threatening, with looming clouds and spitting rain… but despite everything managed to hold off for Krista + Mark’s elegant wedding celebration at the Seagate Beach Club in Delray Beach. (Click below for more of Krista + Mark’s wedding day!)
Stephanie + Jim’s intimate wedding at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens and 51 Supper Club.
Lowery and Brian came all the way from Texas to meet with us while planning their wedding (coming up this June! Can’t wait!). We had scheduled their engagement session for a narrow window of time while they were in town for a few short days– Monday afternoon. And of course, South Florida goes and does that rare winter thing… it rained! All day! And thunder, and… ick. So we planned the only bit of time…
We joined Stephanie and Jim in Naples for their engagement session before the holidays and had so much fun! We wandered through Tin City, 5th Avenue South, and wound up at the local beach for a spectacular Gulf Coast sunset over the water. Thanks to this happy couple for inviting us to your part of the state– we can’t wait to see you for your wedding in February! Click below to see more of our…
Amber + Mark joined us for a Day After session to celebrate their one year anniversary. When we were scouting locations recently this place just called out to us as the perfect setting for Amber’s poofy, layered dress.
We were so happy when Margot and Jeff decided they wanted a day-after session; we love doing these. It’s so fun to be able to find new and interesting locations for portraits without the time constraints of the wedding day!
Margot and Jeff celebrated their marriage with close family and friends last weekend at the elegant Home Hill Inn, in Plainfield, New Hampshire. We flew up for the festivities and had an amazing time– every time we turned around there was another amazing handmade detail to photograph, and laughter and friendly smiles were everywhere.

Tiffany & Mike joined us in West Palm Beach for their engagement session on Monday, and we had perfect weather for it! Tiffany first found us nearly two years ago when we photographed the wedding of one of her friends, and made our day recently by telling us that she has always planned on having us photograph her own wedding some day (so sweet! Thank you for the compliment!). We had a great time with…
This is the third of three New York City engagement sessions that Emily shot during her trip to the northeast. Thanks to everyone for such a fun, welcoming trip! Molly & Gordon are engaged to be married in Lyme, New Hampshire this August. Emily and Molly have known each other since they were 15 years old, both pining over mean high school boys! Things have drastically improved in their love lives since then, and it…
This is the second of three New York City engagement sessions that Emily shot during her trip to the northeast… stay tuned for the third! Britney & Joe are wonderful New York photographers who own Turn Loose the Art. Emily had been planning a visit with the happy couple while in the area anyway, and as luck would have it, they got engaged on Christmas! An impromptu engagement shoot seemed like a fun idea, so…
This is the first of three New York City engagement sessions that Emily shot during her trip to the northeast… stay tuned for the rest! Emily joined Margot & Jeff in New York City for their engagement session in chilly Central Park earlier this month… and brr, was it cold! Margot & Jeff are getting married in New Hampshire this fall, and we’re super excited to be able to photograph their wedding. (It was so…
