Margot and Shammasi chose to have their engagement session at the site where their wedding will be taking place next year, on Margot’s family farm in the Catskills. It was perfection! Large open fields, mountain views all around, stone walls, apple trees, a peaceful lake, and beautiful golden lighting… what more could a photographer ask […]

I can’t believe we’re officially halfway through 2024! I encourage you to take some time this week to remind yourself what you had envisioned for 2024, reflect on the shortcomings and silver linings this year has brought about, analyze any progress you’ve made on your goals, and form a plan for how to make the most […]

Grace and Gavin had the most quintessential, epic NYC wedding, with a church ceremony at St Patrick’s Cathedral, photos in Central Park, and reception at New York Athletic Club. Grace and Gavin met and fell in love in New York City so it was important to them to highlight how special of a place NYC […]

Nick proposed to Maddie while they were on a trip to visit New York City. Maddie thought they were just going on a helicopter tour over Midtown Manhattan at sunset, which was exciting enough, but it turned out to have an even more epic ending. After they landed, Nick proposed in front of the words […]

Every detail and every moment of Samantha & Michael’s wedding was beautiful, thoughtful, and memorable. Their spirits couldn’t be dampened by the pouring rain that came down all day long.

When you’re a photographer, one of the most exciting parts about spring is cherry blossom season! I had such a fun time hunting for the prettiest, fluffiest cherry blossoms with Allison & Rob throughout Central Park. My favorite was this white yoshino cherry blossom tree we found near The Reservoir – it was the perfect […]

I consider myself incredibly lucky to have fallen in love with a career that allows me to balance my personal life with my business on my own terms. While it definitely stinks that I don’t get a paid maternity leave like I would’ve at a corporate job, I’m very blessed to have the flexibility to […]

  In the wedding industry, winter is often referred to as “slow season” but if you’re a wedding professional, you know it’s anything but slow. Winter is our opportunity to take care of all of the administrative tasks that we don’t have time to do during busy wedding season. January is an especially busy time […]

How adorable is Carson’s proposal to Samantha at the Christmas tree display at The Plaza?! He’s had this idea arranged for months, he had so many people in on the surprise, and it was such an honor to be a part of it. He had the ring hidden in a gift box under the Christmas […]

In addition to the traditional First Look, there are at least five other types of reveals you can do on your wedding day! (Note: Please add around 10-15 minutes for each type of first look to your timeline) Bridesmaids Reveal. Father-Daughter First Look. First Touch. Some couples choose to use this moment to read their vows to each other privately, if they don’t want to read personally-written vows during their ceremony publicly. NOTE: Since a First Touch doesn’t involve you two seeing each other before the ceremony (only holding each other’s hand for a brief moment), it doesn’t have the same logistical benefits of a First Look. Doggy First Look. The Bride’s First Look at Herself.

After photographing 250 couples’ weddings, I had my own wedding on Friday, October 28, 2022 at Paramount Country Club! The question I get asked most often is “how on earth did you pick your own wedding photographer??” Talk about “analysis paralysis”! After working in the industry since 2011, I have SO many talented photographer friends, […]

When the groom is a car collector, what better location for your wedding reception than in your own impressive car garage! After an intimate ceremony at their private residence, the newlyweds hosted an intimate Tuscan inspired dinner party, complete with a Dolce & Gelato espresso & gelato truck for dessert. Photos by Luxury Albany Wedding […]

If your ceremony and reception are taking place in the same location, with no gap between the ceremony and cocktail hour, I highly recommend doing a First Look.

If your ceremony (typically at a church) and reception are in different locations, with a 1.5+ hour gap in between, I would recommend not having a First Look and taking most of the portraits after the ceremony instead.

Allison & Rob’s wedding day was a stunner from start to finish, with an intimate ceremony in the Diamond Ballroom, a lively reception in the Sweetgrass Pavilion, and portraits all over the beautiful Minerals Hotel grounds. I’m obsessed with Allison’s bejeweled braid – not to mention the beautiful stonework on the walls and mountain views […]

We’re going to be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day so I figured I’d share a bit more about myself, my interests, and who I am! •  I’m not just Type A, I’m Type AA (think Monica from “Friends”). I love planning, organizing, and tidying everything in my life. •  I […]

The Rockleigh was the perfect setting for Jessica and Kevin’s glam summer wedding. Rather than emphasizing a certain color scheme, they opted for a timeless, luxurious, modern style, with the majority of their decor made up of glass, crystal, and mirrored decor. It came together so beautifully! I can’t tell if I got more “Rapunzel” […]

Talk about a peak experience… Vinamra’s mountaintop sunset proposal to Pankti was so romantic and epic!

Sara & Matt might just be the cutest, bubbliest, smiliest couple ever.
