A VT Wedding on the Shores of Lake Champlain Paige and Raymond’s wedding day was, in my opinion, the way every single wedding day should be treated. It was FULL of sentimental family heirlooms, family traditions, and family history. Nothing was done for show or because they felt they had to do it because that’s […]

A Lake George Summer Engagement Session Those clients that know they want me to photograph their special day from day 1. The ones that can’t imagine anyone else capturing their special day. The ones who reach out AS SOON AS THEY GET ENGAGED. Those are my people. AKA – MacKenzie & Jordan. I’ll be honest, […]

I still have so many more couples to highlight on here so we’re continuing on! Introducing Mr. + Mrs. Worthington! Venue: […]

A summer micro wedding at the North Hero House Operation “Catch up the EMP blog” continues with Amanda and Bryan! I remember this being the start of my love for micro weddings which became super popular after Covid reared it’s ugly head at the world. If you aren’t familiar, micro weddings are basically just full […]

A Glowy Summer Golf Course Wedding This is me, trying to catch up on the seemingly impossible task of catching my blog up on all of the amazing sessions and weddings I’ve had the honor of photographing over the past 3 years. The truth is, my business took off and blogging fell to the wayside. […]

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 […]

Another beautiful Micro-Wedding is in the books! Brianne and Nathanial were married at the gorgeous Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid, NY surrounded by their closest family and friends (and me! 
) I showed up to Brianne’s getting ready space the morning of the wedding to be greeted with smiles, excitement, and 100% creative […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m loving these elopement / micro weddings! They are so intimate and less about the showy stuff, more about the family bonds and I am here for it! One of the things I loved about my own wedding was the size. I knew pretty much everyone […]

I almost didn’t create this post because last year was well…something else to say the least, hence why this is being posted in MAY instead of JANUARY; but the more time that passed, the heavier this post weighed on my mind. I couldn’t shake the thought of not having posted it, and eventually my excuses […]

This is it, my last wedding of 2020! I’m sad I won’t get to photograph another wedding for a while, but honestly not sad to see the season end. Does that make sense? It was the year for many firsts for my business, not all good either. But it was also the year that I […]

I have to say, 10/10/20 was probably the most sought after wedding date I’ve seen since starting this business. Not only did I get handfuls of inquiries for this date, but other photographers were constantly reaching out via Facebook groups to see if anyone was still available. I couldn’t believe how many weddings were going […]

A Chilly November Wedding I can’t believe it! My busiest wedding season to date is officially over and I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter couple to end with. I am in COMPLETE shock at how fast it all flew by, but the one thing I keep thinking about is how lucky I am to […]

A Romantic Barn Wedding | Castleton-on-Hudson For their engagement session, they drove to me. It was a very overcast and rainy day, the trees were still naked without a leaf in sight, and I was VERY pregnant and in a lot of pain…I seemed to have everything working against me. I was nervous because I […]

A Sunflower Wedding at Harmony Golf Club | Port Kent, NY I had been patiently waiting for a chance to photograph a wedding on the gorgeous grounds of the Harmony Golf Club, so needless to say I was SO excited when Olivia inquired and told me this was going to be the venue! My […]

Camp Brockway | Manlius, NY College was a pretty special time for me. It’s when I got my first official job with a schedule and a paycheck. I joined a sorority (which I NEVER thought I would do!) It was when I really started to feel independent and began learning who I wanted to become. […]

So, you've searched high and low for someone you feel like you could connect with, someone to help you feel seen and comfortable in front of a lens, someone who delivers a high-end, classic, consistent product that will light up the faces of your grandkids when they pull out the old family photo album.
