Slovenia Nature Adventure and Road Trip!

Slovenia is by far, without a doubt, one of the most incredible places I have ever been. I would highly recommend a spring visit, as it was before the tourist season, which made the 1.2 lane swerving, cliff flirting roads, a little less scary. Also, everything was in full bloom, and the birds were singing! Once you get there, the prices are amazing, and the food is the best I've ever had. We ate gourmet every day for around $15 per person! Here's a look at our itinerary and some of my favorite photos:

Day 1: Wake up in Zagreb, Croatia; Drive to Ljubljana Slovenia for lunch- try to catch it when they have an amazing street gourmet food festival!; Arrive in Bled; Dinner at the Amazing Garden Village - a great place for Glamping! 

Day 2: 5:30am Sunrise hike to Mala Osojnica; Drive to Bohinj lake for some amazing reflections; a hike up to Slap Savica; A wild drive to our adorable air bnb in Podmelec Slovenia in a converted farm house

Day 3: Brunch at Kamp Lazar; Hike Slap Kosjak (most special hike on the trip); Drove to Triglarski National Park in search of Cerkev Sv. Suha na Javorci but Carol's toe was injured and it was raining, so we opted out of the walk up the hill and explored some nearby mounds and ruins; Dinner in Most na Soči; Sunset in Podmelec

Matt and Gareth's Engagement Session in the Boston Public Gardens and the Esplanade!

We met up with Matt and Gareth at the Boston Public Gardens near Beacon Street for their engagement session. After a day of dark skies and intense rain, I was worried about the fate of this photoshoot! The rain was still coming as we battled Boston traffic and parked the car. Somehow, just as we put on our gear and made our way to the gardens, the skies cleared and the weather was wonderful. We lucked out with dramatic light and ever changing colors!

Matt and Gareth are an incredibly kind, intelligent, and sweet couple. Their love for, and comfort with, each other was so present, that they eased into the photoshoot quickly. After exploring the gardens, we spent a little time in the Beacon Hill area. Just in time for sunset, we crossed the bridge to the Esplanade, and explored the bank of the Charles River as the light turned red. It was truly a privilege to capture Matt and Gareth's love for each other. Congratulations on your engagement, Gareth and Matt! Enjoy this sneak peak of your photos!

I had a wonderful time capturing the Kleinhands Family Portrait at the Wadsworth Homestead in Geneseo, New York! The house was decorated for Christmas, and outside was a perfect winter wonderland! Aren't they adorable?

Ashton and Müge's Wedding in Newton, MA and the Boston Waterworks Museum!

On a beautiful day in October, we had the pleasure of photographing Ashton and Müge's wedding. The brides got ready separately at a family home in Newton, MA, and after some nervous anticipation, had their first look in the quiet solitude of their ceremony location. When they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day, it was clear to see the love that they share for one another. After family photos, we drove to their reception location at the Boston Waterworks Museum to take some awesome photos of Ashton and Müge. Back in Newton, the brides were married by Ashton's brother under a beautiful arbor. Their vows to one another were truly moving and inspiring, and brought tears to our eyes. A fun night full of dancing and celebration followed, including extremely impressive karaoke skills! This was a really fun night to photograph. We are so excited for you Ashton and Müge! Congratulations!
