Two weddings, down...one to go. That's the current state of the wedding season for me here in New England. The week after Joanna and Aaron's backyard Cape wedding I headed to Manchester, New Hampshire to spend an evening with Kerry, Raffi and their families. This was another small event where safety was at a premium (folks quarantined pre-event), which allowed everyone to relax and enjoy (minus the mosquitoes, screw mosquitoes).

A few favorites:

I'm not 100% sure how to start writing this post. Joaana and Aaron's backyard Cape Cod wedding wasn't supposed to be my first wedding of the year. It wasn't even supposed to take place on Cape Cod, or in a backyard, or only have ten guests. All of that aside - and despite temps reaching into the high 80's - and while shooting with a mask on...I still had a fantastic time. Maybe it was that being back out in the world with a camera made things resemble the old normal. Maybe it was that Joanna and Aaron's family and few friends who attended cared so much they quaratined themselves so that they could celebrate without PPE. Or maybe it was just proof that you don't need a massive wedding when all you want is to be married. I don't know, but I do know that I couldn't be more grateful to these two, for rolling with the world's most unexpected circumstances and persevering to have a fantastic, gorgeous day, viruses be damned.

As we sit here in week 8 (9?) of quarantine, and you start to think about planning your 2020 and 2021 weddings, I wanted to take a moment to share what I've been working on. I took advantage of some of this recent downtime to chat with some of my past favorite couples (and when you've photographed more than 225 weddings, it's difficult to narrow that list!) about what their experiences working with me were. Everything from, "Why did you decide to hire me?" to "How long until we see our photos?" Please enjoy this short video, and I look forward to returning to our regularly scheduled celebrating soon.
