Compared to the suburban, laid back sprawl of Los Angeles I grew up with, New York is a high octane city that runs on a blend of caffeine and adrenaline, where everyone’s got a place to be and a story to tell.

Ask ten photographers, and one thing almost all of us will agree on is that lighting has an outsize influence on the final images we create.
This is doubly true for a wedding day. With so much going on, and the many different lighting scenarios throughout the day, being able to adapt and utilize light creatively to tell your story is half of what makes wedding photography fun and rewarding.

Sometimes when you get married, you don't always have time on the day of to get all the pictures that you want.

I love it when my clients connect with me not just on a personal level but also on an artistic level. I remember when I first met Jenny and Jing at Grounded Coffee House, I asked them what stood out to them about my work. Jenny immediately answered that it was the unique compositions that I find, as well as the simple symmetry in the pictures.

From a day that started at The Royalton Park Avenue Hotel, followed by a ceremony and brunch at Riverpark NYC, and then karaoke at Japas 38, everything was intentionally chosen to be the purest expression of their love for one another. I was so grateful to have the opportunity to be there to document their day and share in their love.

When i was first told about Tara and Zach, I was told two things: 1. They are shy in front of the camera, and 2. They want to have photos that feature the venue and the church. On the day of however, I realized that while they may individually not have been super comfortable in front of the camera, together they balanced each other so incredibly well that it was an absolute breeze to photograph them.

Modern. Elegant. Classy.
These were the words that inspired this styled shoot I pulled together in the end of March 2019. Each of the vendors and models included in the shoot were asked to take those words and re-interpret it in the way that was reflective of their style and personality.

Kicked off 2019 strong with this wedding shot at Il Villaggio in New Jersey. Even though I'm primarily based in New York City, I am more than happy to travel to New Jersey and beyond for clients. In this case I was fortunate because Carlstadt, NJ, is not very far away and was just a short drive.
