Nina and Stephen’s day was undeniably epic with the most beautiful details and stunning locations that highlight NYC so perfectly. We started at Soho Grand to document their getting ready, explored the streets of NYC with their crew, and ended the night at the gorgeous Tribeca Rooftop. But if you know me, I am not easily satisfied by photographing pretty things only:) I need to find that special spark between my couples, the moments of pure vulnerability and connection between everyone present. I found this moment when Nina and Stephen were surrounded by their closest family and friends during their Ketubah signing. It’s one of these moments when I suddenly feel that my work is truly meaningful and seeing all the emotions rise up to the surface and being able to document these raw feelings is the most rewarding part of my job.

Thank you Nina and Stephen for letting us capture your day and be part of your beautiful love story!

When I look back at these photos I remember that beautiful calm feeling of love and joy in the air. Katharine and John got married on a gorgeous June day on Connecticut coast at one of my favorite places - Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park. Once you arrive, you instantly feel relaxed and open to the magic of this place with its views of Long Island sound and the lushness of the gardens. Of course, the true stars of the day were Katharine and John who so graciously welcomed their guests and pulled off the most laid back celebration. I am grateful to have been a witness to the love these two share but also the love they share with their families and friends.

“John never makes me guess if he loves me or not. He is the most loving man, whether through words or touch, he’s always reminding me” - Katharine

“She laughs easy and seeks joy in life wherever we are. It is such a gift to have that in my life. She is loyal and has my back in whatever situation I’m in, and I know that we will tackle whatever life throws at us together.” - John

My 2020 started with this gorgeous celebration at the Palm House in Brooklyn Botanic Gardens!

Catherine and Tyler saw each other for the first time in the snow filled gardens but we quickly changed the scenery to more tropical and desert vibes for their portraits! I think having these unique green spaces is one of the reasons I love BBG so much for weddings! You can really make some magic happen no matter the weather outside.

“The biggest stand out memory I have from the day of is the surge of adrenaline and nerves that I felt as the morning progressed until the very moment I would see my future husband for first look photos. The moment I was with him and holding his hand, I felt safe and comfortable like I could conquer the world. The rest of the day and evening went by as a blur, the most fun party of our lives, and all I needed to enjoy it to the max was be reunited with my partner.“ - Catherine

Here is a very special laidback backyard wedding which is a perfectly timed inspiration for all of you currently planning outdoor weddings! But besides all the gorgeous details I want to highlight all of the beautiful moments from the day. I don’t think two people can be more excited to be married then this couple!

With so many couples choosing to reimagine their wedding celebrations in 2020 and opting for outdoor ceremonies and tented receptions I thought it would be the perfect time to remember some of the beautiful backyard weddings I got to document in the past couple of years. This is a reminder that your own backyard can certainly be a beautiful place to gather but also gives you the freedom to be imaginative and creative. From lawn games to chilling by a pool with your guests to serving beers from a back of an old truck having a backyard wedding gives you so many opportunities to do it your way!

Erica and Ryan had an epic wedding day complete with getting ready at the bad ass William Vale Residence, strolling to a local oyster bar for some cocktails with their guests and then leading the second line parade down the streets of Brooklyn to their ceremony and reception at Aurora Brooklyn. One of the most unique wedding experiences I’ve documented in Brooklyn:)

I can’t believe it’s been a full year since I made my way to Montauk to document this dreamy waterfront celebration of Jensen and Adam! These two got the most gorgeous late October day for their outdoor ceremony at Gurney’s Star Resort and the night ended with some epic dance floor action. What I loved the most about meeting Jensen and Adam is how special their relationships are with friends and family. It was an honor to witness so many emotional moments between everyone.

Finally sharing this special celebration of Ashley and Julia in Brooklyn Historical Society. It was a laid back day exploring Brooklyn with these two and their bridal party followed by a beautiful ceremony set in a library room of the Historical Society building. From the moment I met Ashley and Julia at a coffee shop I felt so connected to their love story and their wedding day turned out to be full of so many touching emotional moments. It was truly a pleasure documenting Ashley and Julia’s love story and reminds me of why I miss weddings so much during this quarantine!
