On January 5, 2025, six Boston-area wedding professionals came together to create something the city had never seen before. Queerly Beloved — co-founded by Amanda Macchia Photography, One Bell Designs, DJ Dayglow, Dearly Studio, Althea Floral Design, and Lensy Michelle - along with several other vendor partners - brought seven LGBTQ+ couples to the altar for free micro-wedding ceremonies at The Sinclair in Cambridge, followed by a dance party open to all. Over 400 guests showed up. $4,000 was raised for the Trevor Project.

Last month we posted details from a beautiful wedding at Oleana. We’ve had the pleasure of working there several times (yum!), and I can’t wait to talk all about why restaurant weddings are the epitome of everything that’s right about elopements and intimate nuptials - especially when they're as stylish and intimate as Rachael and Kyle's luncheon wedding at Oleana. Picture this: a sunny day, a charming patio, and the love of your life by your side—sounds pretty epic, right? Here's why restaurant weddings rock..

Crane's Beach is one of my favorite coastal photo spots in the area. Not only did I grow up going to this beautiful place, but so many of my couples love how close it is to Boston and the option to explore the beach as well as the dunes. Off-season, the crowds have dispersed, and the beach is ours for the taking! Our couple were total powerhouses…

So, picture this: it's a crisp fall day in Boston, and we're gearing up for an epic engagement session with a badass couple Our location? A hidden oasis right smack dab in the heart of the city—a pond surrounded by lush greenery, with just a hint of autumn in the air. The leaves hadn't quite gotten the memo yet, so we didn't have that picturesque fall foliage to work with. But hey, we're all about making lemonade out of lemons, right? And let me tell you, we nailed it…

Since you’re here, you probably know I love the Arboretum. I get so many requests for sessions there year-round, and there are good reasons why! This beautiful place has it all - from the light to the blooms, from the forests to the fields and manicured gardens, spotted with ponds…

Back by popular demand are Spring Garden Sessions! Last year we held these at the Arnold Arboretum in the midst of Lilac season and it was such a blast to explore the blooms with all of our clients! As the days grow longer and the first signs of spring start to blossom, there's no better time to capture the warmth, joy, and blooming beauty of your family. Spring mini sessions are the perfect opportunity to freeze those precious moments in time, surrounded by the vibrant colors and newfound energy that this season brings. Here's why your family should leap into spring and book your mini…

Last November we had the honor of capturing Cody’s proposal to Mikayla. Cody settled on the perfect spot and something quite sentimental. He brought Mikayla back to where it all began - the very benches where they fell in love….

I’m so excited to share the photos from this modern, moody, dramatic, ultra glam wedding editorial we did at Queen Anne’s Loft in Newport, RI this past winter. It was a gorgeous day and the sun was streaming through their floor to ceiling windows creating the most breathtaking light. We got to photograph three unbelievable gowns from The Bridal Garden. Those two black owns stopped us in our tracks! Big thanks to Dana Marie Weddings for coordinating such a safe, inspiring, well put together day…

Amidst the pandemic, couples have had to get creative to make their weddings extra special as they downsize and reimagine their day. Inspired by the burst of creativity we’re seeing in couples, and a love story to everything we miss doing before COVID - this shoot tells the story of a pair of long-time touring musicians who decide to tie the knot in an impromptu celebration with their closest friends and family at the place they feel most home. Having traveled the world playing music, they couldn’t imagine a more perfect way to tie the knot than outside their fav local venue - the House of Blues - under a dope custom marquee that reads “All You Need Is Love”…

The Liberty Hotel is a historic landmark in Boston. This former jail turned upscale hotel is located right next to the red line, the Charles River, and Beacon Hill, and of course not far from city hall, making it the perfect spot for your Boston Elopement. A snowy winter day, combined with the pandemic, made for a quiet lobby and one epic photo session

Minuteman National Park is one of my favorite places to hold fall minis. The foliage is unbeatable and there are so many cute little spots for photos. This beautiful family opted for a full session which is always a lot of fun because we can really take our time and explore everything this amazing venue has to offer, and it gives us time to go with the flow which is so, so important for sessions with kids.

Our approach to family sessions is play oriented, and we always try to consider the perspective of the kiddo - where are they at, what do they need? - and we move at their pace. Trust me when I tell you that not all sessions with littles are easy, most parents really want their kids to listen 100% of the time (time they paid for!) and that doesn’t always happen….

When planning and designing weddings, we often find couples feel pressure to match their aesthetic to something that someone is telling them to be. Whether it’s family saying it needs to be formal, Instagram telling them it should be light and airy, or a venue that says it needs to be on a farm and rustic. Our muses, a real couple named Rebecca and Maya, were bursting at the seams with personality. Their natural beauty, edgy style, glamorous demeanor, and queer love were all things that needed to be celebrated…

I first met the Wares when I photographed their engagement session on Bay Farm…

This modern, bright new construction in Boston, MA by Sager + Son comes with a TON of custom features and built ins, including a pizza oven!

Celebrating this brand in this short but sweet mini session was a blast! Anjali is a yoga instructor. Check out her instagram and class schedule here!

A little pandemic miracle, we were so excited to give Baby Z her first family session (from a safe social distance!) on her parent’s back patio in Somerville this past May…

This cozy Townsend Newborn session was our first pandemic baby of the year. Baby H was a dream and slept through the entire session, giving us a tiny, perfect little smile at the end of her session….

This alternative styled wedding shoot was inspired by a rusty spring wedding palette gone rock n' roll. Hosted by Little Bird Events in Norwood…
