Not because they’re perfect — but because they feel like you. Because you can almost hear the laugh, feel the hug, or remember exactly what you were thinking in that moment. That’s the kind of work I care about making, and the kind of experience I build my days around.
My job is to make your entire experience feel easy, natural, and relaxing — while capturing photos that make you look back and think "I can't believe we look so natural."

frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we reach out?
I typically book weddings 9–18 months in advance, especially for peak season dates. If you’re planning a destination wedding or a popular date, I recommend reaching out as soon as your venue is secured. That said, if your date is coming up sooner, it never hurts to ask — I occasionally have availability open up.
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely. I photograph weddings throughout New York and worldwide. Whether you’re getting married in the city, somewhere meaningful to you, or planning a destination celebration, I’m always happy to travel wherever your story takes place.
We’re a little nervous in front of the camera — is that okay?
More than okay — it’s completely normal. Most of my couples tell me this at first. My approach is guided and natural, not stiff or overly posed. I’ll give you direction when needed, but the focus is on helping you feel comfortable, relaxed, and present so your photos feel like you — not a performance.
What’s the experience like working together?
From our first conversation to the final gallery delivery, everything is designed to feel calm, intentional, and personal. I help with timeline guidance, location planning, and flow of the day so nothing feels rushed. On your wedding day, my goal is for you to feel taken care of and fully present — knowing the important moments are being captured thoughtfully.
