My philosophy

Lasting memories through NATURAL, AUTHENTIC, TIMELESS & CANDID imagery

Capturing that real, natural, and authentic connection? That is my whole vibe. The day speeds by and being truly present is the key to everything.


We watch the event from the outside but I know the real story is never about the size of the room. It is about the two people in it. I have spent years framing photos in the world of fashion. This experience is my blueprint. It lets me bridge classical artistry with modern photography. The quiet truth must always be louder than the spectacle. I catch those candid laughs, loud and quiet moments, loving glances, and raw emotions that make your love story yours.


I am here to create images that feel as iconic and authentic as you. We will absolutely get the family formals and group shots when you want them. But the best photos are always the unapologetically you ones. The natural shots, the ones that are never stiff or overly posed.


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


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