Sláinte! I hope your St. Paddy’s day has been a good one!

M+G surprised their guests with a performance by Irish dancers at their reception! M and her siblings, all former dancers, joined in at one point too. It was such a fun way to celebrate her Irish heritage! 🇮🇪

A glass of wine at your favorite neighborhood spot, with your favorite person? Sounds like the perfect engagement session to me.

Thanks for letting us stop by, @__all_together_now__!

Pop the champagne! There’s a lot to celebrate today- it’s Valentine’s Day, it’s my birthday, and we are celebrating L+J’s wedding getting published in the fall issue of @nearlywedmag!

On a serious note, I want to restate that LWP is an inclusive company. I celebrate and capture all types of love stories, including those in the LGBTQ+ community. All are welcome, and love is love.

I took an unintentional break from social media in the fall, and I have so, so much to share.

I got to hang out with some adorable tiny babes recently, and realized I needed to share their parents!

I’m popping my head out of my editing cave to wish my favorite person on the planet a happy (40th!!) birthday! I also figured it’s the perfect excuse to post some photos that @clairewisephoto snapped for us! Ok now back to editing I go 🖥️

I’ve been quiet on here because I’ve been doing soooo much editing, but I needed to share this beautiful and joyful day with you all!

When I first chatted with H+M, it felt a little fated when we both mentioned the word ‘intentional.’ Them when it came to their wedding planning, and me in what I prioritize in my business. We clicked instantly, and getting to know them the past year or so has been truly wonderful.

They thoughtfully chose details, included friends and family in their traditions, and getting to see their wedding vision come to life with a dream vendor team was amazing! ✨

I’m in denial that it’s already September, so please relive this perfect summer engagement session with K+R with me. We started at R’s family summer home, headed to the water for sunset and wrapped up the evening with some ice cream. So so good! ✨

Fun fact: At the end of the session, R and I realized we had a mutual connection- he grew up across the street from my cousins. Small world!

It’s not every day you get married 5 minutes from the beach and end your wedding day with sunset portraits on the water ✨ Thanks for the amazing experience, L+J!

We are going to pretend that I posted this on Saturday and not Monday 😂🫣 (I sometimes get tunnel vision on wedding Saturdays, and totally forgot to post about M+K’s big day. It was amazing and I can’t wait to share some photos, but please enjoy their lovely fall engagement session until then!)

Coming up for air from editing (it’s that time of year 😅) because I have so much to share from weddings this summer! Like M getting ready. (Check out the ring bearer pillow, she cross-stitched it herself!)
