There is no formula for the way you will experience your wedding

There is no perfect timeline for a wedding day. No need to adhere to specific norms or traditions. Your wedding day is what you make of it, and what I enjoy most is seeing how it’s interpreted through your eyes, and how you make it yours. The heart of your day is in it’s imperfections and quirks that will make your experience unique to you and your story. No perfectly scheduled timelines with huge photo blocks, just quality time for you and your family+friends, and a friendly face to follow you with a camera when you need it.

I WILL MAKE SURE

YOUR DAY ONLY HAS ONE AGENDA: YOURS

“THE BEST WAY TO CAPTURE SOMEONE’S STORY IS TO PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES “

As I circle around the wedding day, I try to tell the story from all points of view, not just the standard, straight on ones. I know that your guests are important to you, your family and friends are there for a reason, and there is nothing more I want than to help you remember the love in that room for you. Not for that next-day post on Instagram, but for the forever memory stamped into your brain.

I had a wedding too, and there is nothing more that I wanted than to just be able to enjoy the night, taste the food, and dance till dawn, without being pulled in different directions for pictures.

I VALUE THE MOMENTS OVER THE POSES

Trust is the most important aspect of my photography relationship with my couples, and having that is key to being able to capture the intimacy of your day from a point of view that you can’t get from just anyone.

”We sought out a few simple things and you nailed them all:
1. To look natural but artistic
2. Candid and atypical
3. to not notice we’re being followed AND to be comfortable with our photographer.”

— Alyssa+Antonio

CONNECTION SESSION

A WAY TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH ME BEFORE THE WEDDING DAY

While many photographers call this part the “engagement” session, I call it a “connection” session, and I include this with all of my couples because I find it essential to putting that first block of trust down, and getting to feel comfortable with me and my camera. It’s also a great way to get some more candid moments captured during this exciting time in your relationship, that will be the building blocks of your core memories together. This is a part I especially love.

This is the part you truly get to enjoy and be yourselves. You’re in good hands, and you’ll have already experienced the magic of being in front of the camera, and the resulting images, so there will be no need to micro-manage – just enjoy your special day. Here, you can expect from me: guidance, when you need it, space, when you don’t; a friendly face and advocate, and my “ninja” technique skills to show up everywhere, when needed, without making a fuss about it.

WE CREATE HEIRLOOM ART TOGETHER

THAT LASTS A LIFETIME

Have you ever had the chance to discover the joy of flipping through your parents’ or grandparents’ wedding albums? I find that this is an often overlooked aspect of telling a story, especially in today’s digital age, where we are so used to just scrolling through endless photos on a phone. I truly believe that a story deserves to be beautifully curated into the core memories, the details, and the candid moments that complete the narrative, and bound into a timeless, generational heirloom that will be passed down your family tree. This part is optional, but if you choose to complete your coverage this way, it’s a part of your investment that you won’t regret.

QUESTIONS?

Yes! I love to travel to new locations and get to see life through a new lens! My range of weddings often extends into the tri-state area, Hudson Valley, Catskills, Poconos, and other beautiful locations bordering my home base. I am also available nationally and internationally, and have photographed in areas such as California, Colorado, Vermont, France, and Mexico. Just reach out for a custom quote, and I’d be happy to discuss your destination wedding details.

The way I form my quotes depends on how many hours of coverage you may need, whether you will need 1 or 2 photographers, and if you need additional days of coverage, travel, etc. While many people like to make sure they are within a specific range, I will share that my base pricing starts between $5000-$7000, with couples spending between $7000-10,000.

I hope my work throughout this site gives you a strong sense of what I’m about—but to put it simply: my approach is guided by you. While I bring a non-traditional, documentary style to wedding photography, I don’t come in with a rigid playbook. Instead, I pay close attention to your energy, your priorities, and the natural flow of your day. Where some photographers feel the need to direct and control every moment, I take a more hands-off approach. That space allows real emotions to unfold—because that’s where the most meaningful images live. My goal is to capture the honest, unscripted moments that reflect your story as it actually happened—not just how it looked.

I mainly shoot with digital cameras, and edit my photos with a film-like approach. I also will often bring my film cameras as supplementary tools to tell your story. They will eventually be processed together and look seamless, so you won’t tell the difference, it’s more of a question of “which tool do I use for the moment” sort of thing. I find that film sometimes helps slow things down a bit, pay attention to the details, since the shots are limited, and also gives that “imperfect” feeling to the photos.

I have many videographer colleagues in the industry, and we work hand in hand together to give you the best results. If you are thinking of hiring a videographer, please ask me for my suggestions and I’m happy to share (*bonus: I will also provide you with a list of all of my preferred vendors after booking in case you need some suggestions) I find that it’s easier to achieve the result of candid, documentary style photos, when both the photographer and videographer are on the same page about our approach.

I generally do not retouch my wedding photos, unless it is a very simple touch up, because my approach is more true to life and I aim to capture the way things exist naturally. I do edit and color correct my photos that I deliver to you, in my signature style, which emulates my film-photography origins, and you can find this throughout my site.
