Marlee & Dominic’s Wedding at The Publick House | Sturbridge, Massachusetts Marlee wore sneakers with her wedding dress. She is a woman who knows what she’s about. I’m obsessed with her for that.

An Eclectic, Fantasy-Filled Micro Wedding As a Massachusetts and New England micro-wedding photographer, the Berkshires is one of my favorite regions to work in.

After the Superbowl, I couldn’t stop thinking about a huge, glaring contrast that happened in front of millions of people and how it reveals something much bigger, much more human.
