Surprise Proposal at Shelburne Farms

To all of the amazing brides I had the honor of photographing this year —

Thank you for trusting me with one of the most meaningful days of your lives.

The joy, the nerves, the laughter, the quiet moments before everything begins… it&r

We didn’t just pick a pretty spot.

We chose a place that felt like them.

The mountain they ski.
The river they swim in.
The dog who goes everywhere with them.

Your engagement session should feel like your real life — just a little more

Golden hour at The Inn at Grace Farm.

The mountains.
The foliage.
That soft Vermont light that only lasts a few minutes.

This is why we build sunset portraits into the timeline — because when it hits like this, it’s magic.
