Boston, MA Engagement Session {Amanda + Mike}

This past spring, right as the weather was starting to feel fresh and you finally wanted to be outside, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful couple, Amanda and Mike, at the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain. I love shooting here and was so excited to meet with this lovely couple ahead of their wedding this summer. Here are a few previews from the day. Enjoy!

Giverny, Saint-Émilion and Aubeterre, France Captured by Tracy Rodriguez {Prints Available for Purchase}

Normally when you click over to my blog, you'll see photographs of yogis all around Boston and couples saying their I do's, but today I want to share with you a personal trip I took with my husband Thomas two years ago to the south of France. It's been completely lovely to revisit these images after so much time has passed. The main focus of the trip was for our friend's wedding, my husband was the best man, but of course {insert French accent here, anyone?} I couldn't leave my camera behind.

{And, if you know me well, you'll know that I don't bring my camera, or even take out my phone for that matter, when I attend weddings as a guest. Research actually shows that you remember events better when you're not behind your camera or phone. I always want to be fully present. And, let's be honest, I don't want to get in the photographer's way either. I'd rather he or she document the bride and groom without a sea of phones and cameras and if I'm being photographed, I'd rather it be of me laughing or tearing up than holding a phone in front of my face. But, I digress.}

Without further ado, please enjoy some photographs from our trip. You can click any image below to enlarge it and then tab through to view more while still enlarged. And if you'd like to make a purchase, prints are available for sale in the gallery linked below.

We arrived in Paris with mostly wedding events so my camera stayed tucked away in the city of love, but, my personal request for the trip was for Thomas and I to sneak off one morning to Monet's Gardens in Giverny. You'll see a few photographs from that excursion to start. While it's set up as a major tourist attraction now, it was still pretty incredible to see Monet's home and his famous water lilies.

The scenic view shots take us south with a quick stop in Saint-Émilion for lunch. We then traveled to our main destination in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, Chateau Le Mas de Montet. Most of my photographs are of this beautiful castle and quaint town.  Even if only for a short while, it was definitely an unforgettable experience to live in a chateau in the south of France.

Where have you all been traveling lately? Are you like me and have images from years past? I encourage you to dig them up and relive a bit of your wanderlust.

Much love,

Tracy

Attleboro, MA Wedding at Colonel Blackinton Inn {Karen + Walter}

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of photographing Karen and Walter's intimate wedding at the Colonel Blackinton Inn in Attleboro, MA. This couple definitely had karma on their side because rain was slotted for the whole day but when the morning came, we actually found patches of time where the rain was only a faint drizzle, barely noticeable really, so that we could walk across the street to a lovely park and photograph this beautiful couple outside on their wedding day. We were able to sneak out again after their vows to the front porch of the inn to take some special photograph's with the groom's daughter and bride's step daughter. This little munchkin was so adorable to photograph.

As I wrote in my first blog post at Colonel Blackinton Inn for Elizabeth and Sean's wedding, I absolutely love photographing at this venue. If you're planning an intimate wedding here, please do reach out! I'd love to be a part of your day.

This wedding is part of my series of intimate weddings. These range from courthouse elopements to up to three hours at any venue of your choice, be it structured like this one or in a park or other unique location. These are my favorite weddings to photograph. My intimate wedding and elopement couples always win my heart.

Enjoy!

Lakeville, MA Wedding at Loon Pond Lodge {Jonathan + Christyne}

Congratulations to Jonathan and Christyne!

Last October, I photographed Christyne and Jonathan's beautiful wedding at the Loon Pond Lodge in Lakeville, MA. You may also remember their 2016 engagement session at the Roger Williams Park in Providence, RI. I loved working with this fun loving couple.

Since I was just eight weeks postpartum at the time, I delivered the images last year but am just now going back to pay a little tribute on the blog. This time delay certainly does not represent how I feel about this wedding or this lovely couple!

Please enjoy a few images from their special day including their first look in the woods and a gazebo ceremony above the lake.
