A summer micro wedding at the North Hero House Operation “Catch up the EMP blog” continues with Amanda and Bryan!

An extended celebration on the shores of Lake Champlain What’s better than photographing a beautiful couple once? Getting to do it twice 😉 Claire and Matt were one of my “Covid Couples” meaning, they still went ahead with their planned celebration (just on a smaller scale) and held off on their larger celebration until a […]

This wedding day filled my heart and soul with so much joy, it’s hard to put into words just how much being a part of it all meant to me. Not only did I get to witness my childhood friend marry the love of his life, but I feel like I gained so many more […]

Shannon and Ryan are one of my sweet 2021 couples that decided to do a small intimate celebration first, and hold off on having their big celebration for 2022.

Whenever I’m able to meet up with a couple in a new location, especially one that holds special meaning to them, my photographer heart is just so happy! Don’t get me wrong, I have my own list of go to spots that I love for sessions, but believe me when I say, couples who are […]

I couldn’t shake the thought of not having posted it, and eventually my excuses […]

If I gave out awards for the couple who had the most fun at their engagement session, these two would top the charts. They spent 90% of their time laughing and giggling together, at each other, at my silly photo requests, Kasey falling…twice! It was just such a FUN session! It feels weird titling this […]

I don’t travel for weddings often, but when I do, it’s always worth it, and for the best couples! Greg and Daina had their perfect intimate ceremony on the shores of the Ashokan Reservoir about three and a half hours south of home for me. I will admit, now that I have a daughter, traveling […]
