This styled shoot features a married couple madly in love at the unique venue The Meadows, tucked away like the Secret Garden in Mystic, Connecticut. The shoot was centered around the theme of my wedding packages: “Your Love is My Lighthouse.” Styling for the shoot, including design of the invitation suite and fabric accents were created by myself and a local designer.

Everything about this couple’s wedding day is focused around the belief that love doesn’t have to be extravagant, it just has to be enduring, simple and true. In a place woven with history of sea merchants and sailors tales, a modern day coastal wedding means embracing the history of the past with nautical ropes, handcrafted rose gold jewelry, and starfish on your wedding cake. Where rainy days don’t exclude you from wedding portraits on the beach, and embracing nautical doesn’t mean your dress can’t have countless layers of tulle.

This wedding in the Flagstaff, Arizona forest is what fairytales are made of. The union of this joyful couple was everything it was meant to be. From beautiful florals, gorgeous smiles and laughter, to breaking it down on the dance floor this wedding sure is one for the books!

On their 10 year dating anniversary (cue the total heart melt), Candice and Zach *finally* tied the knot (see below for their adorable Save the Date: "He finally asked!"). Who would have known their meeting at Panera over a decade ago was just the beginning of a beautiful love story? After spending months carefully planning every detail, this couple threw a party their guests won’t soon forget.

If you're getting married at a coastal venue this shop is a great place to search for the perfect gifts for your groomsmen and bridesmaids!

A beautiful sunset engagement session at Harkness Memorial Park in Waterford, Connecticut.

When the temperature is perfect, the colors of the sunset are on point, and your couple is the cutest it makes for one awesome engagement session.

Are you eloping on the beach somewhere? Don’t forget to hire a photographer to share all of those memories with close family and friends.

Love was in the salty ocean air at Westerly Yacht Club as the sun set and this couple danced the night away. No detail overlooked, laughter of friends and family..... and that look that Peter had in his eyes every time he saw his bride. Complete and total perfection.
