Gorgeous Golden Hour Engagement Session at Montauk Beach, Long Island

I’m mostly based in New York City and usually shoot the urban backdrops, but sometimes I get opportunities to see other parts of New York State- haha. So for Ian and Meg’s engagement session, we ventured deep to the tip of Long Island, to Montauk. I was able to experience the serene beauty of Montauk Beach. The sun was GORGEOUS and it cast its golden hues across the horizon— and Ian and Meg's affection was so palpable — and I was so happy to be able to document that in their photographs. The entire session was so much fun and I wish them the most beautiful future together.

Vibrant and Fun Wedding at Rule of Thirds in Brooklyn, NY

I recently had the pleasure of capturing a truly breathtaking wedding at an amazing venue called the Rule of Thirds, located in the vibrant city of Brooklyn, New York. This wedding was filled with gorgeous moments, sweetness, and heaps of fun!

To kickstart the wedding day, the lovely couple got ready at the Coda Hotel, which provided a cozy and comfortable environment. As a photographer, being able to document those special behind-the-scenes moments was an absolute delight. There's something truly magical about capturing the excitement and anticipation as the bride and groom prepare for their big day.

As we ventured out into the vibrant neighborhood of Williamsburg, the photo session became even more enjoyable. The couple radiated happiness and their love for each other was simply contagious. Exploring the streets of Williamsburg provided a fantastic backdrop for the photos, adding an edgy and unique vibe to the shoot. But let's not forget about the highlight of the day: the wedding itself at the Rule of Thirds. Not only was the venue stunning, but the food was equally amazing. The combination of delectable dishes and a vibrant atmosphere created an unforgettable experience for all the guests.

The wedding had a classic and classy feel, but what truly made it stand out was the fun and excitement that filled the air. From the heartfelt speeches to the energetic dancing, it was clear that everyone was having a fantastic time, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

As a photographer, it was a privilege to capture all these beautiful moments and emotions. My goal was to document not only the wedding itself but also the vibrant and lively personalities of the couple and their guests. It's always an honor to be able to freeze these precious moments in time and create a visual story that reflects the love, excitement, and joy of the day.

All in all, this wedding was a perfect blend of elegance, vibrancy, and pure excitement. It was a truly unique and fun celebration of love, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of it.

Romantic & Chic Urban New York City Wedding at the Fotografiska Museum and Veronika Restaurant

Lauren and Niko wanted to have a wedding that was fun, free, and filled with memorable moments. We started our day at Grand Central for their first look. Niko hails from Queens, New York so getting married in an intimate ceremony overlooking the Queensborough Bridge was so meaningful. Afterward, we walked around the city to some really cool photographic locations and delicious foods (Lombardi’s Pizza and Little Cupcake Bakeshop). We love New York City! They had their dinner and reception at the Veronika, which is the restaurant inside the Fotografiska Museum - so naturally, we took some photos in the exhibit showcasing the work of David La Chapelle! It was a freaking awesome day!!!

Beautiful and Elegant New York City Elopement in Central Park

Jerry and Emily's love story unfolded against the iconic backdrop of Central Park, marking the beginning of their beautiful and elegant New York City elopement. As a seasoned wedding and elopement photographer, I had the privilege of capturing every moment of their special day amidst the timeless allure of the city that never sleeps.

Theirs was an intimate ceremony, held in the shadow of the majestic Bethesda Fountain, surrounded by the verdant beauty of Central Park. With only a select few family members in attendance, they exchanged vows that echoed through the tranquil oasis, each word a testament to their enduring love and commitment.

Prior to their ceremony, Jerry and Emily prepared for their momentous occasion at the luxurious 1 Hotel, where the serene ambiance of Central Park provided the perfect backdrop for their prelude to matrimony. As they made their way through the park, anticipation and excitement filled the air, their steps guided by the promise of a lifetime of happiness together.

With my lens poised to capture every cherished moment, Jerry and Emily embarked on a journey that would forever bind their hearts as one. Against the backdrop of New York City's skyline, they exchanged vows that resonated with sincerity and devotion, their love a beacon of hope amidst the bustling energy of the metropolis.

Their elopement was not merely a celebration of their union, but a tribute to the enduring romance of Central Park and the indomitable spirit of New York City. Through my lens, I had the honor of immortalizing their love story, a timeless tale of two souls finding solace and joy in each other's embrace amidst the urban landscape.
