  • Editorial style

What obsesses me with photography the most is that I get to capture a moment in time that we all can recall back to. This can be a simple photo with a friend or an intimate moment with a loved one. All these moments hold a special place in all of us. This is what your wedding day is supposed to be about. A day filled with the memories of all your loved ones as you celebrate the start of a new journey together. A day filled with laughter, cheers, and tears and I want to be there to capture it all! If are planning a wedding, elopement, or engagement, please feel free to browse my work and if it resonates with you don't hesitate to reach out!

My father was a professional photographer for many years so when planning our wedding, my husband and I knew that finding a talented photographer was at the top of our priority list. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have discovered Kevin because he exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we met Kevin, he had a way of making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. He not only captured stunning posed photos but also effortlessly seized beautiful candid moments. Kevin's talent was apparent when he was able to work with our overcast weather and managed to frame and capture each shot like a true work of art. Every single photo we received perfectly conveyed the emotions and energy of our special day. What truly amazed us was the speed at which he delivered about 47 sneak-peek photos just one day after the wedding, and each of them was breathtakingly beautiful. My father would have undoubtedly been proud and delighted with the work Kevin accomplished on our wedding day. Kevin's talent has left us with cherished memories in the form of these stunning photographs.

I don’t think I could say enough wonderful things about Candlewood Inn and their team. Simply put our day was perfection. Krista and her team made sure everything was as we wanted it and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our bridal attendants Mary and Leslie were the true fairy godmothers of the day making sure myself (the bride) and the rest of our bridal party had everything they needed at all time. The communication throughout the process coming up to the wedding and on the day was absolutely flawless. We felt truly cared for which can be hard to find with the amount of weddings that are done. The venue itself was beautiful, you cant quite beat the views on that lake, and so that alone makes it so special. The food was spectacular, us and our guests could not get over how delicious everything was. The staff throughout the night was so professional and kind, and made sure our guests were cared for as well. We loved having the time alone right after the ceremony with all of the appetizers we had picked just to have a bite to eat and take a moment to reflect on being married! It was so special and I attribute that to the work the Candlewood team put in. I would recommend this venue to everyone and anyone that just wants a beautifully run day. I  already cant wait for one of our friends to get married here too!

Shannon and Three Roots were amazing to work with! You can see from the photos (By Jessie Barentsen) below how absolutely stunning our florals were on our day. Throughout the whole planning process Shannon was so easy to communicate with and always had very prompt, timely responses. She was able to take my thoughts and visions bring them together and to life. She was very detail oriented down to having me select ribbons and vessels for our bouquets and florals. She sourced the most beautiful candles and bud vases for us as well. We had some last minute cancellations and cut down 2 tables and she worked with us to reallocate what we had paid for those tables to florals elsewhere in the space to not lose out. On our day there was so much love and hugging the groomsmen boutonnieres were falling off before the ceremony and she made new ones for all of them and placed them on. I cannot recommend Shannon enough!

To capture it all in a way that feels natural, cinematic, and timeless. But more than just taking photos, I’m here to guide you through the day, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present in every moment. My style? Cinematic, with a mix of artistic, classic, and documentary influences. That means your photos will feel like a movie—elegant, emotional, and storytelling-driven—while still being true to who you are.

I had the honor of having Vinny capture one of the most important moments of my life, my proposal to my fiancée. I chose him because I knew he would be the perfect person for such a special occasion, and he exceeded every expectation. On a snowy day, during a storm, Vinny never hesitated for a second. Despite the freezing cold, he dedicated hours with us in the park, making sure every detail was captured beautifully. The photos turned out extraordinary, truly beyond what we could have imagined. What impressed me the most was his care and dedication. My fiancée and I are not used to posing for photos, but Vinny guided us patiently and naturally through every step, making us feel comfortable and confident. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism transformed that day into timeless memories. I am deeply grateful for what he did for us and recommend his services without hesitation. Vinny is an outstanding professional who pours his heart into his work, and the results speak for themselves.

Hiring Merry by Mia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We chose Merry by Mia as our Day-of Coordinator because of their deep familiarity with our venue, Audrey’s Farmhouse, and from the moment we met Mia, we felt at ease. She and Lindsey were not only incredibly professional, but also warm, approachable, and endlessly helpful. We had so many questions and ideas throughout the planning process, and they always had thoughtful answers or were quick to help troubleshoot. Mia made herself available right from the start, and that constant support made all the difference. On our wedding day, everything ran flawlessly thanks to Lindsey's on-site management, hard work and attention to detail. Even with my own background in event planning, I knew I was in the best hands. Lindsey and Mia coordinated seamlessly with our vendors and made sure every detail aligned with our vision. By the end of the process, they didn’t feel like vendors—they felt like friends. If you’re on the fence about hiring a Day-of Coordinator, trust me: it’s worth it. There are so many moving parts, and having someone who truly understands the ins and outs is invaluable. I feel so lucky to have had them by our side.

Melissa and her team are wonderful - we’ve been industry colleagues for a long time and they’ve jumped in to help my company when I was short-staffed, treat their clients with love and respect, and do whatever it takes to make every event perfect. I highly recommend them!

Hi! I’m Izzy a makeup artist based in Connecticut. I specialize in soft glam: all the steps of a full glam look with seamless blending for a softer, elegant finish. While soft glam is my signature, I can create any style, from natural glow to full glam. There’s no minimum booking — if you want me there just for you, I’ll be there! I truly love what I do. Yes, business matters, but my heart is in creating a special experience from the first message to your trial and your wedding day. I’m always improving my craft and staying up-to-date with the latest techniques to give you the best service. I’d be honored to be part of your special day!

Izzy Makeup was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding. Izzy communicated very well throughout the entire process, always responding promptly to my questions and requests. The quality of her work was absolutely perfect - she listened to what I wanted and delivered exactly that, making me look and feel beautiful on my special day. Izzy was so attentive to the look I was going for and made sure every detail was just right. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist, and I would highly recommend Izzy to any bride looking for someone who will make them feel their absolute best.
