We just joined an indoor climbing gym for a new challenge and it's already pushing us to reach new heights - in every sense of the word! ⁣
⁣
Thanks to our friends Liza and Dave for introducing us to such an exciting indoor activity during the winter!  We have also been climbing with friends, Julie + Nic we met while hiking in the White Mountains!  It's a wonderful way to gather with friends in such a supportive community where everyone encourages one another.⁣
⁣
Speaking of the White Mountains, I'll be out of the office Mon-Thursday next week taking a workshop to improve my client experience and continue to build community.⁣
⁣
If you are interested in climbing, I highly recommend watching Free Solo, The Alpinist and the Climb. I'm deeply inspired by the filmmaking of @jimmychin! Not only is it challenging to climb, imagine carrying the weight of all that photography gear!⁣
⁣
What do you like to do to challenge yourself? ⁣

Happy February Lovers! ❤️‍🔥⁠ ⁠ Wishin Happy February Lovers! ❤️‍🔥⁠

Wishing all my couples that magnetic connection and sexy goodness Brittany and Carmen have for one another. ⁠
⁠
Dancing the night away with Latin beats from @hipcontrol was so energizing.  I couldn't help but join in myself.  I was immediately transported back to my trip to Cuba.⁠
⁠
There's nothing like a tremendous band and live music at your wedding.  Hip Control is seriously my all time favorite wedding band.⁠
⁠
I ordered Brittany and Carmen's wedding album and I cannot wait to see how it!⁠
⁠
What would it feel like to receive tangible memories of moments like this?⁠

When I'm not photographing elopements, I'm hiking When I'm not photographing elopements, I'm hiking new trails throughout New England to add to my location guides for my couples.

My goal is to find beautiful vistas that are easily accessible. Not everyone wants to hike 6 miles or more. 

Some trails are short and sweet and others require more effort and uphill climb.  I promise they are all so worth it!

Nature is a way of life for me and I've been outdoors enjoying the magic and beauty so abundantly found in nature since I was a kid. I have my parents to thank for introducing me to the outdoors.

I love hiking all year round, especially in the winter!

Being prepared is key to a safe and enjoyable hike! I like to support local businesses and get most of my outdoor clothing from @rei or @easternmntnsports 

Here is my gear list so you can be prepared:

❄️ I use @alltrails to check the route and take a photo of the trail just in case there is no GPS
❄️ @camelbak bladder pack with plenty of water + snacks
❄️ @peakdesign camera backpack
❄️ @lasportivana waterproof insulated boots
❄️ @kahtoola microspikes
❄️ @smartwool thermal leggings, wicking shirt and socks (layers)
❄️ @patagonia down jacket
❄️ @columbia1938 insulated flannel
❄️ hat + gloves
❄️ hiking poles 

🥾 Always tell someone what trail you will be on for safety
🥾 Sign in at trail head (just in case)

Winter is especially glorious because you can see the mountain peeks through the trees and hidden gems you might miss when there is foliage on the trees.  Like frozen waterfalls and so much more.

Plus hiking on the snow with micro spikes is a lot less technical.  If you get warm like me, layers are key for cooling down or bundling up.

This trip was in the Catskills and I've added 3 more epic locations to my list!

Keep me in mind if you are looking for an adventurous elopement photographer and need an officiant. My husband comes with the elopement package!

No regrets about spending our weekends outdoors di No regrets about spending our weekends outdoors discovering new trails and natural wonders all year!

We love hiking and riding our gravel bikes throughout New England and the U.S.  The most enjoyable thing about discovering new places is the sense of wonder and sharing these magical places with our couples!

Do you love chasing waterfalls?

I am constantly adding to our list from our travels exploring this beautiful planet.

Let me know if you are interested in including waterfalls to your next outdoor adventure!

Coming Home To You ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥 Coming Home To You ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥

Jenna + Ryan wanted to have a stress-free elopement, so they chose to elope in secret.

It was all they wanted, the beauty of getting married without the stress. Now that the news has been shared with family, I'm so excited to pop their fantastic news! 🥂

The ceremony took place on an ice pond in the woods of Connecticut with just us, Jax (their dog), and their officiant.

There is nothing better than marrying your best friend and coming home to each other every day.

Jenna and Ryan reminded me of the connection Rip and Beth have. I immediately fell in love with their passion for each other.

Snow had just fallen, and the ice pond was frozen enough to walk on. They had a romantic first dance in the woods followed by a champagne toast and delicious chocolate cake.

Cheers lovers!
