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, […]

It was so special to get to take Mike and Lizeth’s engagement photos just hours after they got engaged!

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 […]

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 […]

Chelsea and Spencer had an intimate wedding at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park this summer, surrounded by their friends and family.

Imagine getting deployed to Poland five months before your wedding with no return date. That’s what this resilient couple went through, along with many obstacles that they always overcome. I’m so glad their wedding plans ended up being successful – thank you for your service, Matt! This couple is truly and inspiration and it was […]

Sara & Matt might just be the cutest, bubbliest, smiliest couple ever. Their wedding day at Rock Island Lake Club was absolute perfection, from clear skies all day long, to the perfect sunset lakeside ceremony, to more delicious [allergy-friendly] food stations than you could even imagine, and a dance floor that was packed literally the […]

Unlike all your other wedding expenses, your photography & video investment increases in value as the years go by and the memories start to fade.  A video is a return ticket to a moment otherwise forgotten. We all know that wedding photography is a must. In the past, wedding videography has been seen as more of a “luxury”, but […]

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.

My sunset engagement session with Grace & Gavin in the Meatpacking District of NYC just made me so much more excited for their wedding day! These two are so kind, friendly, bubbly, and loving – and it definitely shows in their photos and their interactions together. We had such a blast walking the cobblestone streets […]

Audio is such an important component of a wedding film – it’s literally half of the final product! I dedicate a large amount of time during post production to selecting music that sets the right mood and matches with the visuals. I put a lot of thought into piecing together audio from the reception speeches […]

Corrado proposed to me on June 10, 2021. People have been joking for years that it must be so hard for Corrado to top all the proposals I’ve seen. Little did I know, he would trick me into shooting my own proposal photos at one of my favorite places: on top of a mountain. There […]

Genuine, affectionate, loving, thoughtful, empathetic.. there aren’t enough adjectives to describe how great Christina and Dan are. Their friends & family are equally loving and so many tears of joy were shed the entire day (I lost count at five 😂). Watching Christina & Dan interact is like watching a real life love story. Their chemistry is […]

Julia’s fall bridal shower at Cedar Lakes Estate featured blood orange signature drinks, the most drool-worthy grazing board, fun games, cotton candy spritzed with fall flavors, and a candle making station.

Every single detail & moment on Kylie & Katharine’s wedding day was noteworthy and heartfelt, from the double aisle set up for the ceremony so they could both walk down simultaneously, a specially curated list of songs for every member of the bridal party, to the hand selected cutlery and meaningful books at the tables, […]
