Love is what motivates and inspires me every day. I'm a hopeless romantic that aspires to capture real moments, genuine smiles and raw emotion, inviting each couple to relish the experience of a session as much as the images that follow. I believe in the kinds of images that bring joy from the simplest of moments together. I believe in chasing beautiful light and creating images that long to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and cherished for years to come.
Even with life's ups and downs, your story is beautiful and I can't wait to create images with you to show that! Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.
My love for photography has brought me everywhere from the vineyards in France to the mountains in Switzerland. But regardless of where I travel, the bright city lights and contagious energy of NYC will always be my home.
Welcome

You've thoroughly combed through my work and you like what you see. So the next step is setting up a time to chat to make sure we've got good chemistry and the perfect fit for one another.
Let's Chat!
You're engaged!
Once your date is officially reserved with a 20% retainer, we'll send over a few goodies to help you prepare for the big day. We're happy to serve as a resource for vendor recommendations, timeline guidance and more!
Date Booked
Make it official
Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. I love engagement sessions because we finally get the chance to hangout and get to know one another! You'll leave feeling incredible and even more excited for your big day!
Engagement Session
We check in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day.
Wedding Day Prep
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know we're excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome
The Big Day
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about six weeks of your wedding. At that time, we'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums. From there, you can send your gallery to family and friends to relive your special day!
They're Here!

REVIEW NO. 2 OF 3
We’re big believers that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: fifteen years ago, if we had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents' wedding photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on a coffee table.
Handcrafted Albums
THE PERFECT WAY TO REMEMBER YOUR WEDDING DAY
20 pages 10x10 album
Linen: $950 for Linen
Leather: $1150
Additional 2-page Spread: $50
PRICING
(8x8, 20 pages)
Linen: $450 each for Linen
Leather: $700 each
Additional 2-page Spread: $40 each
DUPLICATE PARENT ALBUMS
Wedding albums are available a la carte or as part of your wedding collection.
After we deliver your gallery, we'll work with you to order prints and design an album that will become an heirloom for your family.
Albums must be prepaid before design begins and typically take between 4 to 6 weeks to complete (including revisions).
With the exception of printing errors, all albums are non-returnable. Albums may be ordered anytime before or after the wedding day. The holiday deadline for beginning an order is November 1st.
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. We do this for a living and we still always feel a little out of place when we have our photos taken every year.
We’re big fans of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why
we’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
Engagement sessions can be added to any package.
Engagement Sessions
Celebrating a season
Galleries typically include anywhere between 80-100 images for every contracted hour! My goal is to give you as MANY images as possible! The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding. Your online gallery will come loaded with fully edited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your wedding photos on Facebook as long as you credit us and link to our website.
A:
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?
q:
We typically add travel fees on to any wedding outside of a 60 mile radius from our home in New York City. Fees vary depending on location so ask us for more details.
A:
When do you charge travel fees for weddings?
q:
Most couples book 12-15 months prior to their wedding. I take a very limited amount of weddings each year so that I can balance my nursing career and business, while giving my clients to best experience they deserve, its best to book early.
A:
when should i book?
q:
Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a 20% non-refundable retainer. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 2 weeks before the wedding.
A:
We love your work and want to book. What is the next step?
q:
Frequently
asked
Questions
Whenever you would like! We can shoot this immediately upon booking or if you're from out of town, we can schedule something closer to the wedding day.
A:
WHEN SHOULD WE SCHEDULE OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
q:
Second photographers are always a great idea if you really want a lot of candid moments and photos of guests. While I do get plenty of photos of guests as the sole photographer, my primary focus is the couple, wedding party, and immediate family.
A great way to decide is to ask to see a gallery with a second photographer and without!
A:
Do i need a second photographer?
q:
Thank you so much for considering me as your wedding photographer! It would be an honor to share your special day with you!
I'd love to chat more with you and hear about your vision!
Let's set up a call!
