Our backdrop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art fit them perfectly. Sonya had volunteered there a couple years back and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City held a very dear spot in her heart. They were a really outgoing couple, willing to fight the herds of people at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to get beautiful shots. They were patient and a gorgeous couple and I’m so glad they picked me as their New York City wedding photographer! Later this year they'll be traveling to Michigan and India to celebrate with more festivities! It’s so great to capture New York City’s culture and beauty!
Intimate New York City Elopement at The Groom's UES High School Chapel and Reception at the Luxembourg House
Megan and Chris met in the London— but they both grew up in New York City! So when they got engaged in London, they decided to have a small intimate ceremony with their family and friends back in New York City first then have a bigger celebrating in London after! They chose to have their ceremony at the Chapel at Chris’ High School on the upper east side, have some portraits taken right nearby at Central Park and the ended the night with a light reception at the Luxembourg House. It was very sweet to celebrate in such a unique space with decades of history and culture. They had envisioned a celebration that felt like a fun and festive house party with their closest family and friends and it very much felt that way!

An Intimate Central Park Elopement at the Ladies Pavilion in New York City
These two lovebirds met in Oxford (yes, the one in the UK). Jen was there, studying for her masters, and James was there, studying for his PhD. Jen is from New York City, and James is from the UK. They fell in love while rowing together on the same team- so they share an affinity towards boats. They are the funniest, quirkiest couple I've photographed with yet. I knew Jen since HS, she's a friend of mine at LaGuardia High School. Since then, she's gone all over the world to study ancient artifacts, go on digs, and write up our history! I have a friend that is a REAL archeologist! I love it!! And she is now at Brown University doing her Ph.D and studying all the ancient works of our earth! It is SO cool. Jen and James really wanted a "New York City" wedding. It was small and intimate affair at Central Park, but afterwards, they wanted to get photographs to remember their time in New York City together. We hit up pretty beautiful spots in Central Park, and then stopped by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (for history, of course!) and then some over in Brooklyn. (Where Jen is from!).
It was such a beautiful day, a beautiful wedding ceremony and a beautiful group of people to spend time with. I’m so happy that they chose me to be their New York City Wedding Photographer!!! I'm so happy for Jen and James and I wish them the best on their journey as husband and wife!
New York City Engagement Session at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Fabiana and Michele journeyed all the way from Brasil to capture their engagement session in the vibrant heart of New York City. Fabiana's deep connection to the city, having lived and studied there, made the Metropolitan Museum of Art the perfect backdrop for their photoshoot. Despite the biting cold of a typical NYC winter day, we ventured into Central Park, embracing the frozen beauty of the lake for stunning shots. Being entrusted as their New York City wedding and engagement photographer was truly an honor, allowing me to capture the essence of their love amidst the iconic backdrop of the city that never sleeps. I am so glad they chose me to be their New York City wedding and engagement photographer!
