Photographer, Videographer and planner
intentional elopement Experiences Across New England
Just call me Your Gal, Friday!
As an elopement photographer, videographer + planner, I thoughtfully plan & document intentional elopements and micro-weddings across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
What makes a wedding an elopement? It's not always about the lack of guests, but in general I focus on "just the two of us" experiences and weddings with 25 guests or less. For me, an elopement is more about the atmosphere a couple is setting for the biggest day of their lives - from the location they choose to the activities they plan to all the little details that make the day theirs. And my goal as your elopement professional is to help you make that vision a reality. ❤
I have an extensive knowledge of possible venues and locations for small weddings and elopements in New England. I also have a wide knowledge of vendors who can help meet the unique needs that my clients have, making me the ideal team member for planning your big day.

In case you can't tell by these photos, I'm loud.
I am actually loud with my voice (I lost my inside voice in an accident) but I'm also a big personality. I have always been very confident in who I am and what I believe in, which makes me an excellent cheerleader, collaborator and advocate for your intimate wedding or elopement.
I have an amazing life partner, CJ, who I met when we were 12 and in the same homeroom for middle school. But we didn't start dating until our late twenties after many years apart. Now we have a home together, an adorable little girl whom we affectionately call the Nuggetorious, and a cute dog named Bernie Spaniel!
Frequently Asked Questions
I was in grad school when I started working with photography as an art form, and found myself with an affinity for nature and still life photography. One of my friends was a wedding photographer and asked me to assist with some of her weddings, and I found that I really enjoyed it. When I decided it was time to start my own photography business, the choice to continue in weddings was easy. Since i started my business, I've been photographing smaller weddings and elopements, and started transitioning to those exclusively in 2019.
This is a tough one, but I would have to say that my favorite part is planning and living an amazing day with my clients that represents who they are. So my favorite part about being a photographer isn't even the photography!
For sure the mountains are always my favorite place to be. My soul just always feels at home when I'm in the mountains, and every time I leave I wish I wasn't. I also really enjoy city elopements for a change of pace, but the mountains will always be my top choice for places to work.
Elopements and family sessions with previous clients are the only photography work I take on, and I limit myself to no more than 15 elopements per year. I also work as a marketing and communications specialist at an independent girls boarding school and as a freelancer.
