What Does it Mean to Be a “Documentary Wedding Photographer”?

We look for ways to capture the essence of your whole day; from your favorite donuts and champagne on the table next to you while you’re getting ready, to your nieces and nephews playing on the lawn, your grandmother kissing your cheek as soon as she sees you after the ceremony, a hand on a back, a tear during vows, a belly laugh… it’s how we remind you exactly how it felt to experience it all.

Vesper Hill Children's Chapel Elopement

When nature is your church, you elope between the mountains and the sea, and then explore barefoot for portraits.

Ellie and Stephen are my kind of people – easygoing, playful, and up for anything, as long as it’s outside. They had an intimate ceremony beautifully officiated by Ellie’s lifelong best friend’s grandmother, who has become an extra grandmother to Ellie. Her energy was so special to have there, and her quick wit kept us all laughing. After E + S officially tied the knot and we had taken family photos, we ran around the beach, walked between the tall trees, and soaked it all in. It was the perfect way to kick off my 2023 wedding season.

Michelle and Chris tying the knot was a symbol of all they had walked through together to get to this moment; from the very first letters, to their first home together, rescuing their pup (child) Bentley, tackling new jobs, and facing every challenge in between. It all brought them to this moment.

Courtney + Levi / Spring Meadows Wedding 9.12.2020

When I sent out Levi and Courtney’s questionnaire, one of the first questions Levi was to answer was “What was the first thing you noticed about Courtney? Why do you think it was the first thing you noticed?” and Levi said “Her smile. Every time I went up to talk to her I was able to get her to smile even if she was having a bad day.”

“I knew I wanted to marry him 18 or so months into our relationship. I remember asking him for a promise ring for our second Christmas together. I think then was when I realized I could spend the rest of my life with Zach. The ring never happened because we were (are) broke college students, but he wrote me a beautiful letter professing his love to me, and that was more special than a piece of jewelry.”

Courtney + Jake / Vesper Hill Children’s Chapel Wedding 10.5.2019

“The air was warm, and we just stood there holding hands for a bit. As he went in to hug me, I knew something was up – his heart was beating out of his chest. Just as I went to ask him if he was okay (the nurse in me), he got down on one knee, and read me the most beautiful handwritten note about how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. He popped the question and put the ring of my dreams on my finger. How could I ever say no?”

They met in college. Both on the same track team, Rachael threw hammer and Luc ran distance; but Rachael didn’t just throw hammer though. She was a record breaking machine. Luc caught her eyeing him at a track meet in Boston, and introduced himself the next day.
