My Favorite Things 2023
For the last few years, I’ve run a contest on my Facebook page to share some of my favorite images of the year and to celebrate the love and connection I try to capture in every session. This year, I made a video of some of the highlights!
Nicole and Alvaro: An Edgartown Elopement
Not only is the Edgartown Lighthouse a great place to get engaged on Martha’s Vineyard and a great place for family photos, it’s also an ideal spot for your Edgartown elopement.
Phil and Katie: A Jaws Proposal
Martha’s Vineyard is a very popular place to get engaged - whether you’ve only visited once or whether you are generational visitors, it’s an easy place to fall in love with and then to want to make permanent your own love.
When Phil reached out to me about doing a Jaws-related proposal, I knew his reason for choosing Martha’s Vineyard as the engagement spot was a little different. I consider it an important part of what I do when I photograph proposals to help the proposer craft their moment to fit both the vibe of their relationship, and the meaning and significance of the occasion.
Martha's Vineyard Proposals: Edgartown Lighthouse Edition
I don’t know if Edgartown Lighthouse is THE most popular spot for proposals, but it’s definitely one of the most-requested spots.

Martha's Vineyard Proposals
Love marches on, no matter the season, but this has been a busy season for marriage proposals. I love to photograph proposals and I always work with the proposer to create a moment that fits the personality of your intended betrothed,
Amy and Phil: East Chop Beach Club Wedding
A tale as old as time. Boy meets girl in 3rd grade. They come together, they move apart. They return for good. They get married for the health insurance. A year later, they throw a rocking party for their friends and family and do it all again.
shannon and morgan: lucy vincent beach proposal
It has been a summer of proposals! I think that people figure that if they made it through the pandemic together, they might as well make it forever.
I’m happy about this turn of events, as photographing proposals is one of my favorites. There is a lot of adrenaline (on all our parts - mine because I don’t want to miss The Moment after all of our planning; the proposer because they are about to embark on a nerve-wracking speech), a lot of joy, a lot of relief.
carly and brandon: oak bluffs gazebo wedding
In a summer of drought and seemingly endless perfect Vineyard beach days, clouds were hard to come by. On the day of this mid-morning July wedding at the Ocean Park Gazebo in Oak Bluffs, the forecast called for overcast - and we were all thrilled.
Your Children Will Thank You Part 2: How to Print Your Family Photos
Most of my photography clients on Martha’s Vineyard - whether family, newborn, or wedding - want to print their images, but one question that I often get asked is, where should I get them printed? It is still one of my greatest joys to see my photographs up on client walls and so one of the things that I want to help you with is the best way to print for lasting quality and impact.

With this ring...
As a wedding photographer on Martha’s Vineyard, one of my favorite parts of photographing a wedding is when I ask the newly-married couple if I can borrow their rings for a few minutes. I always look for some significant element of a couple’s story and use that to frame your rings.
Hanna and Michael: A Farm Neck Wedding, Martha's Vineyard
A September wedding on Martha’s Vineyard doesn’t get much more perfect. For Hanna and Michael, her parent’s summer home on the Lagoon was the meaningful location to start the celebration
Julianne and Rob: Vanderhoop Homestead, Martha's Vineyard Wedding
One of my most important jobs as your wedding photographer is understanding the role that photographs play, how photographs shape and contain memories when actual memory fades - and I love to curate the story of your day for generations to come.
Erin and Josh: An Atria Wedding in August
For Erin and Josh, their tale is as old as covid: a large celebration was planned pre-pandemic, and then changed to a small celebration, before finally returned to a large celebration of friends and family gathered together (mostly to party) after the official marriage already happened.
Dani and Dan, A Love That Grows
They say that rain on your wedding day is good luck, because water makes a knot tighter
Bruce and Liz, A September Wedding on Martha's Vineyard
Photographing not one but two fellow photographers made me nerve-wracked for this wedding, but the outcome was a calm and lovely celebration with close family.
Love in the Time of Covid, vol. 2 (Paul and Beth and Harry)
Another small celebration of a big love
