Paige and John’s wedding day started with rain, had the strongest winds I’ve ever encountered on a wedding day and ended with the most beautiful weather one could ask for. Luckily they picked the gorgeous Barn at Lord Howe Valley for their Ticonderoga, NY wedding so the elements didn’t matter — there were too many […]

Chelsea and Jarrod chose a beautiful July day to say “I do” surrounded by family and friend at one of my favorite Adirondack venues, The Barn at Lord Howe Valley. Chelsea chose a bright spring color palette of pink, salmon and peach for her wedding colors. They give a beautiful pop of color against the […]

Samantha and Nick decided to do a First Wedding Anniversary session during their stay at the Fern Lodge in Chestertown, NY. Everything was made even more magical with the first snow of the season. <3 Sam told me they wanted to do a champagne toast at their wedding but forgot to bring the champagne during […]

Joe and Nicole met on a summer day while Joe visited home on a break between hockey seasons. They knew quickly that they didn’t want their story to end there. After years of long distance, Joe proposed to Nicole on the shores of our beautiful Lake George. When they were deciding on where they should […]

Spencer and his mom contacted me a while back because they wanted to plan the perfect proposal for Spencer and Colleen at the Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing, NY. Getting her away for a quiet weekend was the cover story … but little did she know that both family and friends had come to witness […]

Peter & Mariah chose Peter’s parent’s home in Bolton Landing for their engagement session… and who can blame them with all these lovely grounds to use.  It was a bit near and dear to my heart as his family lives just a minute walk from my Great Grandmother’s old farm (where I spent many childhood […]

My last pre-corona quarantine rescheduled session opted for an outdoor field location and I was lucky enough to get to revisit one of my favorite area small businesses, Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery (the family of our 2019 Adirondack Wedding giveaway winners, Ally and Liam). They were gracious enough to allow us to use their grounds […]

Evan & Melody wanted a location that showed their love of the Adirondacks so we chose Amy’s Park in Bolton Landing as the perfect backdrop. These two were so much fun to photograph.. their love for each other really shines through every photo! Evan made this custom ring box for Melody… complete with two of […]

Patrick and Emily bid on and won an engagement session with me at the Rally for the Roots, an event for the Common Roots Brewing Company, after a recent devastating fire. Their charitable hearts didn’t end there as I photographed how sweetly they loved each other. They are one of those couples that make me […]
