Hello my dears,
I'm Mandie.
I must CONFESS...
I am in love with what I do.
...Believe it or not, I have an English degree. My love of storytelling began as a little girl, reading books until all hours of the night, pretending I was Anne of Green Gables and envisioning my little bunk bed as her room on Prince Edward Island. I believe that photos can tell stories. As a hopeless romantic and professional hobbit, I want you to feel your photos; not just look at them. I like to bring my European and New England experiences, as well as my humor, into your wedding aesthetic and wedding day. I want to photograph your little ones picking shells from a rocky beach. I want to make you feel empowered and confident in your branding sessions. So ask yourself, what is the story you want me to tell? I promise you, I will be able to portray it.
THESE ARE A FEW OF MY favorite THINGS
When I'm not listening to Irish trad music, I'm screaming at the top of my lungs to Noah Kahan in my little Volkswagen. I even re-enacted the Stick Season video once...
2005's Pride and Prejudice inspired me to create and become a photographer. I'm watching it now as I type this! Luckily, I have my own Mr. Darcy. My husband James is from England and so we have quite a transatlantic life.
I grew up in Rhode Island and am a huge Revolutionary War nerd. Give me a tricorn hat or museum tour and I am in my element.
My bank statement is mostly iced almond milk lattes. I am obsessed with cooking and the beauty of food and my dream one day is to go to Ballymaloe Cookery school in Ireland. I buy the expensive butter. I just recently got into red wine.
What It’s Like to Work Together
I know stepping in front of a camera can be quite a foreign and nerve wracking experience- trust me, I know! Why do you think all my photos are on vacation in the UK? I hand my husband the camera and hope for the best.
My style of posing involves funny prompts, vision from my head dancing around like sugar plum faeries, and lots of movement. No stiff, uptight and uncomfortable posing here.
I also love to be a resource for my couples. While I know I am the photo taker, I can also help with anything else wedding related you might need. Or if you need help with sourdough or want to rant about the recent Patriots game, I am here for that too.
Whatever our souls are made of- his and mine are the same."
