Monica & Brian’s Intimate Microwedding at Tower Hill


Last month, I had the chance to photograph Monica and Brian’s microwedding at the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill—and it was everything a microwedding should be: small, intimate, and absolutely beautiful.


They exchanged vows surrounded by lush gardens and their closest family. The setting was peaceful and vibrant, the kind of natural backdrop that doesn’t need much else. Monica and Brian kept things simple and focused on what mattered most: being together, celebrating love, and sharing the day with the people they care about most.


After the ceremony, we took full advantage of the grounds for portraits—winding garden paths, blooming flowers, and golden light made for some really special moments.


Microweddings always have a unique energy. Without a packed timeline or a huge guest list, there’s room for connection and calm. Monica and Brian’s day was the perfect reminder that sometimes less truly is more.

Congratulations to Monica and Brian, and thank you for letting me be part of such a meaningful day!
