My philosophy

Lasting memories through NATURAL, AUTHENTIC, TIMELESS & CANDID imagery

Capturing your real and authentic connection is my whole vibe. Wedding days speed by and being truly present is the key to everything.


The real story is never about the size of the room. It is about the two people in it. I spent years framing photos in the fashion world. That taught me the real power of a photograph. My background in marketing taught me how to tell stories that actually connect with people. I look for the decisive moments. I want to catch the candid laughs and raw emotions that make your story completely yours.  


I aim to create images that are unapologetically authentic. We will absolutely get the family formals and group shots you want. But to me, the best photos are always the natural ones. They just feel exactly like you.


I approach every wedding with intention. I let your day unfold organically. This way you can relax, soak it all in, and just be yourself.


Based out of New York, I photograph weddings throughout NY, CT, and RI.
