Read MoreDinosaur Inspired Wedding at 26 Bridge, Brooklyn NY - Sarah + Mark
Here is the gallery of top hats, dinosaurs, a dancing birdman and lots of love at Sarah and Mark's wedding at 26 Bridge. I am just going to leave you with this story by Mark and Sarah of how they first met;)
"Sarah and Mark met on the deck of a sinking destroyer and, soon after, realized that they should get to life rafts. They were separated amid the commotion of the rescue. Mark meant to call Sarah afterward but accidentally blew his nose with the slip of paper containing her number. He also dropped it into the Atlantic after he was spooked by what he thought at the time was a narwhal (it was actually a unicorn swimming)."
Read More501 Union Brooklyn Wedding, Hayley + Ryan
It's time I share some Brooklyn love with you! Hayley and Ryan met at work 5 years ago and became friends right away but didn't start dating until a year later after one fateful canceled date Ryan instead invited Hayley to a concert where "a spark" finally happened! I met these two in a their neighborhood Brooklyn coffee shop and they seemed so into each other I knew their day would be fun and full of laughter. Hayley and Ryan told me they are the biggest goofballs who love to laugh more than anything, go on adventures, hang out with their two pups and looking to help out the world! It was a pleasure getting to know these two amazing people and capturing their beautiful stylish Brooklyn celebration!

Read More26 Bridge Winter Wedding, Brooklyn, NY - Jessie and Jon
Jessie and Jon's beautiful heartfelt wedding is finally blogged! I remember the cold March day like it was yesterday and these two still wanted to go out and explore the Dumbo neighborhood and get some portraits outdoors! I love when I get to meet the parents and friends of a couple and instantly see the connection that they share with each other. Jessie and Jon are special because everyone surrounding them were so full of love for the couple and it was just an evening full of so many feelings and emotions. When you have an endless line of people coming up to the mic and saying the most incredible things about your couple you just know they have a special way with everyone around them:) So grateful I was a part of this celebration!

Read More501 Union, Brooklyn Wedding - Emily and Karl
I remember meeting Karl at a Brooklyn bistro for coffee for the first time and I knew right away Karl is the kind of guy who knows what he wants and who cares a lot about Emily! Karl is from UK and he met Emily during a soccer game in Portland, Oregon. I think we clicked right away because Karl cares about the moments as much as I do:) Their wedding was, indeed, a day full of amazing moments and stories! The speeches alone lasted about half an hour and we laughed until our cheeks hurt and then we laughed some more because the energy in the room was contagious. I am beyond excited to share these images from this stylish and fun wedding of Emily and Karl at 501 Union! A big thanks to Karl and Emily for letting me capture their story.
Read MoreSpring Brooklyn Botanic Garden Wedding at Palm House, Brooklyn, NY - Julie and Taylor
Julie and Taylor's wedding was certainly a gorgeous celebration! But to simply state that their wedding was beautiful is not enough. The highlight of the day was Taylor's surprise performance to Julie during their reception at Palm House. I remember him sneaking away to the kitchen with his guitar and practicing his song beforehand. And then witnessing the surprise and Julie's reaction was so special. Taylor plays in a band and his life is inspired by music and, no doubt, by Julie:) It was a pleasure seeing these two families come together (Taylor's family flew all the way from Australia!) and celebrate the love these two share!

Shakespeare Garden Intimate Wedding, Central Park, New York - Jenny and Jonathan
Jenny and Jonathan got married in an intimate ceremony in a beautiful Shakespeare Garden in Central Park. To spice things up, NYC almost got a hurricane on their wedding day so we ended up taking photos with 50 mph wind gusts. When I arrived to document Jenny and Jonathan getting ready at the Wythe Hotel they told me their venue had to cancel their dinner because their venue was a boat and the wind was too crazy:) These two were real troopers and without much complaining they decided to head to a local beer garden in Brooklyn right after their ceremony. To me, their wedding day was so epic and so special I wouldn't have it any other way:)
Read MoreBrooklyn Bridge Park, Fornino's Wedding, Brooklyn, NY - Amy and George
Three things stood out for me about Amy and George's wedding! First of all, we miraculously managed to get some epic shots in Brooklyn Bridge Park before it started pouring during their ceremony! Second, their party was officially the craziest dance floor of the year (I guess, that was to be expected at a dancer's wedding!). Third, Amy and George are the sweetest most genuine people who are crazy in love with each other!! Needless to say, I loved being a part of this wedding and I am beyond excited to finally share these images here. Congrats once again, Amy and George!
