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.

New York City Soho Elopement and Dinner at La Mercerie Restaurant

A Fun Elopement Day at New York City Hall and A Reception at Il Buco

Mitch and Anna wanted to have a chill but fun-filled day with friends and family! We first began the day at NY City Hall for their appointment for their intimate ceremony. Anna’s dad walked her to the building (so cute!) and let her enter the building with Mitch and I. (Due to the covid pandemic protocols, they could still only have 1 guest enter with them, which was me). After their adorable ceremony, we met up with their family outside City Hall to get some group photographs. Then we all headed to Washington Square Park and grabbed some fun group shots there as well. Afterward, we headed back to the Roxy Hotel to freshen up. Anna changed into her second wedding dress and she looked so beautiful!! We then headed over to Il Buco and celebrated together! It was such an awesome and memorable day!! Here are some of my favorite moments of the day:
