Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What is your photography style?
We like to think of our style as the perfect mix of candid, authentic, emotionally driven, and beautifully elegant photography. We’re all about capturing those spontaneous moments while also creating stunning, elegant shots. Of course, we’ll take those traditional family photos and guide you to get the best angles, but our goal is to keep it natural and fun whenever we can.
Our mission is to capture the true essence of your special day, from the big celebrations to the little details. We’ll also snap those candid portraits of your guests soaking up the good vibes. We want you to look back at these photos years from now and feel all the emotions again. We approach every wedding knowing these images are timeless treasures that will be cherished for generations.
What is your photography background?
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Photography from the Fashion Institute of Technology, and I kicked off my career as a portrait and fashion photographer in the vibrant streets of NYC. Currently, I’m part of the Marketing & Communications team at Marist College in Poughkeepsie. For nearly a decade, I’ve poured my passion into capturing the magic of couples and weddings, transforming beautiful moments into lasting memories.

Our photography studio originated in Mamaroneck, NY, Westchester County. We love to travel—whether within the tri-state area or anywhere across the U.S. Our photo bags are always packed and ready; just let us know when and where to go.
When will we get our photos?
Teaser photos will be sent to you within 72 hours of the wedding. After we edit all the images, you will receive a private online gallery with all your photos. On average, we deliver all photos and videos within 2 months of the wedding date. You can download all high-resolution images and videos from the private online gallery.

When should I book?
Most of our couples book a year in advance. We always recommend you book far in advance so that we can guarantee and secure your date. Once the deposit is paid (35% of the total invoice) the date is officially yours. The remaining amount is due a month before the wedding.
