OUT WITH TRADITION & IN WITH YOUR DREAMS! THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE WEDDING EXPERIENCE!

Planning a stuffing wedding to please everyone, fulfilling every cliché tradition, and managing expectations that are definitely not yours is exactly the wedding you DON’T want. Seriously, where is the fun in that?

You want a wedding day straight from your gut - an experience straight from the center of your joyful, passionate, romantic heart where your version of love, romance and beauty run wild and are unapologetically YOU.

Maybe you’re dreaming of:

  • Gathering in the magic of a Vermont forest with your favorite people and celebrating with nature-based rituals

  • Hiking to a Vermont mountaintop at golden hour and frolicking in fields of wildflowers

  • Creating a celebration that is grounded to the earth, your power, beauty, self-expression and love

But how on earth, you ask?

  • Where to even begin?

  • How do I throw out the traditional and create a day that really captures who we are and what we value?

  • How do I make something beautiful without losing myself to pre-conceived expectations and the stress of planning a wedding?

That’s where I come in…

STORIES MATTER. LOVE MATTERS.

My own personal story has taken decades to unfold. It continues to shape how I see identity, belonging, and connection and has given me the capacity to hold space between cultures, histories, and truths.

Being seen—fully, honestly, and through the lens of love—is powerful.

My work is centered on:

  • a deep reverence for human connection

  • emotional honesty

  • compassion

  • inclusivity

Life has led me down paths steeped in deep wells of creativity. I use art, in its many forms, to articulate my values and how I see and process the world, most especially when it comes to stories of love…

  • I SING! I am a professional opera and musical theatre singer, which makes me loud and vulnerable, bold and brave, adept and moved. I am versed in the powerful art of storytelling and how it can teach, change, and move the hearts and minds of our fellow humans.

  • I CREATE! I engage with the earth’s magic and energy by building weird and magical art from the bounty of nature I grow and forage in my own backyard. I especially love working with dried botanicals and florals. And then of course, I take pictures of them!

  • I RUN! I love to run, bike and swim when I’m not chasing my two magical daughters. It’s been really hard to do it all during my early motherhood years, but my competitive experience is the foundation of what has made me a strong, confident human. Women’s rights are human rights!

  • I PLAY! I am a girl mom and a dog mom, and um, my dog goes absolutely everywhere with me and could very well end up at your wedding! My kids, furry and not, are all amazing! The children are our future!

  • I LOVE! I am most deeply myself when immersed in the magic of the natural world with my camera and the company of amazing humans, collaborating, creating, and telling the hard and beautiful stories about life and love.

When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a photographer…
you’re inviting in a fellow soulful human with a deep well of creative and collaborative experience who will see you with an expert eye for beauty, heart & soul.

TESTIMONIALS FROM MY BELOVED COUPLES

  • COMPASSIONATE

    “Tricia came into our wedding journey at the very end (about 2 weeks before our big day) due to some unforeseen circumstances and it was the best thing that happened to us! From the moment we first spoke with Tricia she was so open, compassionate and instantly made us comfortable. My wife and I are not people who enjoy being the center of attention or having our picture taken, but Tricia made everything feel so natural, safe and fun. Her eye for detail and lighting is out of this world!! She had amazing shot ideas, and also listened to what we wanted and any ideas we had and made them come to life!! If you’re looking for breathtaking, ethereal, and romantic photos, Tricia is your girl! She was kind, compassionate, funny and enthusiastic from start to finish and we could not recommend her enough.”
    Charlie & Taylor
