St Augustine Roman Catholic Church Wedding // Allie + Andrew

St Augustine Roman Catholic Church Wedding // Allie + Andrew

Way back when I used to host wedding consultations in coffee shops instead of on Zoom, Allie and Andrew met me for their consultation at a small coffee shop in Cold Spring that had no wifi, limited seating, and I’m pretty sure also didn’t accept credit card as a form of payment. (Thank God that quirky meeting places don’t have much of a bearing on whether or not I get to work with a couple for their wedding day.) Even though the space was weird, the vibes between all three of us were excellent, and Allie and I basically became fast friends who bonded over reality television - specifically, the Real Housewives of New York.

Allie is the sister of one of my other dear couples, Kerri and Brian, who got married the year before, and while these two couples are very different from each other, they are both very dear, and I feel so honored to have captured both of their wedding days…

I met Kaitlyn and Louis at a wedding in 2018, so when they reached out to ask about photographing their wedding and I couldn’t photograph it myself, I knew the team would be a perfect fit for them.

Kaitlyn is someone that you spend time with, and think to yourself, “Ah - I have found a fast friend.” I had the honor of photographing she and Lou for their engagement session, and it was such a lovely hour spent together. Maria let me know that their wedding was just as lovely. 💛

Oh, But Isn't Life Lived in the In-Between?

Oh, but isn’t life lived in the in-between? In the moments that are somewhat out of focus; in the laughs of grandmothers; in the wedding day selfies, and in the quiet moments of getting ready…?

A minor threat of rain. A few blue details. A sunlit church. Many tears…

Preston Barn Wedding // Katherine + Tim

It’s funny how paths cross, isn’t it? It’s funny how I would have met these kind souls at no other event but their own precious friends’ wedding the year before, and it’s funny how our souls just got each other - as soon as we said hi…

Claudia + Dylan // A Sunset Winter Wedding at Whitby Castle in Rye, NY

One day, when Claudia + Dylan are old and gray, they'll look back at their wedding day and remember how absolutely adorable and sweet and perfect it was. Heck, they do that now, and it hasn't even been a full year since they got married…

Kait + Chris // A Traditional City Wedding at the Seaport Hotel in Boston, MA

Kait + Chris // A Traditional City Wedding at the Seaport Hotel in Boston, MA

I, myself, my bloodline, am not Irish. You would think I would be with a maiden name of McGrath. But, if I could choose to be, I would be Irish. I was raised by a stepdad who was Irish, and was surrounded by the folklore, hearty food, and beautiful string music that is so prevalent in Irish culture. The heart of Ireland has my own heart.

Being a part of Chris + Kait's wedding was like a homecoming...

Danielle + Justin // A Lush Summer Wedding in New Paltz, NY

Danielle + Justin // A Lush Summer Wedding in New Paltz, NY

If you know me, you know I pretty much live and breathe by Instagram. I think social media is absolutely incredible, and the connections that it brings into my life are not only invaluable for my business, but also totally for my heart.

Sweet, sweet Danielle was my very first inquiry on Instagram ever. I about died when I read in her contact form that she found me there. Our first meeting was adorable, and her sparkly eyes and calm spirit were so much goodness - those eyes sparkle even more when Justin is around. :)
