The Wedding Experience

As a wedding photographer, I believe the best stories are told as they happen, which is how you also tend to remember it in your mind. Where traditional artists use pencil and paper, Photographers use cameras and light to create their narratives. As an artist I am drawn to moments that are captured naturally, and believe the light that surrounds you assists in telling your story.

 

If you've arrived here perhaps you were drawn to the light and airy feel of my work. The sun, and an experienced intuition for timing have been the foundation that I've built my wedding and portrait photography on. The sun, after all, is the strongest light source we have, and for me its THE key factor that enables me to capture your day in a whimsical and romantic way.

 

For my work I want to deliver a collection that is consistent with my style and with what you see on my website. In order to do that I make a custom plan with my clients that map out how we can best utilize our location to shoot, as well as the sun to best illustrate your love story. Living in New England, this isn't always possible. We have cold winters, and daylight savings where the sun sometimes sets around 430pm. Should you choose to get married during that time, rest assured that I will work hard to ensure that at least part of your collection has some of that style which you were initially drawn to. I also may suggest doing some formals prior to your ceremony, maybe a first look, or perhaps trying for an earlier timeline.

 

You may be thinking 'You're a natural light photographer, so does that mean you don't use flash?' For my art I tend to believe that flash has its time and place, like receptions, or in rooms that are very dark or poorly lit. When faced with those challenging situations I will always supplement with additional lighting to capture the scene as needed. In the end, my ultimate goal is to always create images where I utilize the environment I am in. my heart is always with the sun and the way it can enhance any love story.

I can definitively say that 2024 was the most transformative year I’ve ever had. From having back surgery which changed my quality of life, to losing 45 lbs (and still going!) every second felt like a culmination of long journeys I’ve been on for years. Seeing The Rolling Stones, Creed, and The Eras Tour are all core memories I’ll store away for a rainy day. Nothing was without surprise, like making an unexpected and major career change into CTE Administration, and becoming a Ciocia again. I wouldn’t change a thing that happened in my life in 2024. I’m thankful for the friends and family who I shared incredible memories and experiences with this year. I can’t want to make even more in 2025. ✨Happy New Year! ✨
And with that, my 2024 wedding photography season is complete. The first wedding I ever helped out on I was 18 years old. I’m 43 now which means that I’ve been working in the Wedding Photography industry for 25 years. Every year I learn something completely new and this year was no different. 

Working with families and couples side-by-side, in some cases for years, to help them orchestrate the day of their dreams is something I take great pride in. I feel honored that my clients have chosen me to be present and document some of the most significant moments of their lives. I am also grateful for their faith in myself and my team to give experience based guidance, always with their best interest at heart.

All of my experience and the things I’ve learned along way have only made me a stronger entrepreneur, leader, and instructor in my vocation to the thousands of students I’ve taught over the years. Some of them moving on to become professional photographers, filmmakers, or artists themselves. Being a practicing photographer in my industry has given me more than I could have ever dreamt of as a 17-year-old kid taking Photography as an elective at HCC. 
 
For that, I want to thank all the couples, families, friends, and wedding professionals that I’ve had the pleasure of working with this year. Each one of you has filled my heart with joy and gratitude. Thank you for trusting me with documenting some of the most important moments in your lives. It’s been some of the greatest joys of my career. 

See you in 2025!
