Weddings are bittersweet for me. I grow close with couples as they plan their day. After their wedding passes, I deliver their gallery and wonder if I will ever see them again.

But then they decide to grow their family and I get an email to capture the next part of their story. And then they book a newborn session and all is right in my heart again.

Mikayla and Tim planned a private elopement at Quabbin Reservoir in Belchertown, Massachusetts this fall.
