I absolutely love the way Gina and Oli talk about each other!

Oliver loves Gina’s compassion and empathy where no one else would have it, her fierce loyalty to everyone and everything she loves; her classic, timeless beauty, her ability to tolerate him and everything that makes him intolerable, and her relentless love and support that he can always depend on.

Gina adores Oli’s seemingly endless supply of drive and passion; how he never gives up, even when a situation feels hard or hopeless. His insatiable curiosity and just how incredibly smart he is. His tenacity for adventure, willingness to take risks, and ability to admit and forgive mistake whether they're mine or his. She loves his effortless style and confidence, as well as his ability to lift her up and make her feel whole, heard and special.

Their wedding turned out to be the most elegant laid back celebration at one of my all time favorite venues in Brooklyn - Brooklyn Winery. The space is absolutely gorgeous with it’s green wooden walls and industrial brewery backdrops!

Ari and Becca met each other during admitted students weekend in college! These two knew early on that they were in it for the long haul - it felt like they had known each other forever they admit. They moved in together during college, and then decided to apply to grad schools together. They both ended up at the University of Michigan, adopted a couple of cats, Ari proposed shortly after and the rest is history!:)

Ari and Becca, when I was going through your wedding gallery to pick the top photos from your day to really showcase all the joy and emotions experienced by all it was ridiculously hard because there was just so much:) From your beautiful ceremony to some of the most hilarious speeches by your siblings ending with everyone having a blast on the dancefloor - it was pure fun! Also, ending the night with waffles is strongly recommended to everybody:)

Tammy and Marc met at a board game night! The rest is history and as they both confess they have been inseparable ever since that night:)

Fast forward 3 years, Tammy and Marc decided to have an intimate celebration at Frankie’s Spuntino in Brooklyn. Let me tell you I absolutely love this space:) The vibe is so cozy and laid back and every wedding I photograph here ends up being magical. Scroll down for our adventures downtown and in Brooklyn!

Obsessed with this gorgeous couple and all the special moments from their Bowery Hotel wedding celebration! Patti and Lu are the definition of a modern partnership and it makes me so happy that their relationship goes so deep and their wedding represents more than just a one day party but their lifelong commitment to each other. As always, I love to let my couples describe their relationship so here are a few words from Patti:

“Lu and I met during college in November 2007 at a "Friendsgiving" that our maid of honor, Amanda, was hosting in Brooklyn for those who weren't going home for Thanksgiving. We had pretty instant chemistry and went on a date a few days later and have been together ever since :) I think what is one of the most important things after being together for almost 11 years is that we still really like each other and at the very base of it all, are still best friends at the core. We've gone through ups and downs like every other couple, but at the end of each day, we choose each other. We've grown up together through alot of life events (studying abroad apart, graduating college, first jobs, law school, etc) and thus understand the importance of partnership.

Lu will joke that his favorite thing about me is my (bad) singing and my favorite thing about him is his insane productivity (he designed all the invites, stds, menus, etc by himself because he enjoys design as a hobby even though he's a lawyer by trade) but ultimately I think that we both like making each other laugh and there's a sense of comfort when we're close together where our anxiety fades and we just know 'everything will be OK' if we got each other. We're so integrated in each other's lives at this point, that it feels like Lu is as part of me as is my arm or leg. It's a wonderful feeling to have such a deep friendship and partnership with someone :)”

This day was so special for me! First of all, Arrow Park is one of these magical hidden gems I almost got married in myself:) This venue is gorgeous, vast and feels like an elevated camping spot with lake views and a beautiful house in the middle of all the lush greenery. It also offers a large barn style venue for a large party. Personally, I was looking for an intimate space and they have a gorgeous room in the main house to accommodate a smaller party as well:)

Now the main stars of the day were Amanda and Cody, of course! Their love is so genuine and they can’t help but show it through every little touch and glance. It’s always so rewarding capturing a strong bond like their. One of the sweetest moments of the day was Amanda helping Cody do his hair as he sat blindfolded not to spoil the first look because that’s just want they do on a regular basis!

It was a day full of memories of loved ones who couldn’t be there but most importantly celebrating family and friends who could be there to support Amanda and Cody!

Thank you Amanda and Cody for letting me capture it all:)

A very special celebration of this amazing couple from Australia - Moya and Tim. Brooklyn Winery ended up being a perfect backdrop for their ceremony and party afterwards!
