What is your photography style?

We define ourselves as having a hybrid candid photography style. We love spontaneous moments and elegant photographs. We still do photograph your family photos and we will also guide you at times to get an amazing photo but we like to keep it candid whenever possible. Our responsibility is to capture the feelings of your special day by photographing the big and small moments. We also like to capture many candid portraits of your guests enjoying the special day. We want you to look at the photographs a decade from now and relive all those emotions. We approach every wedding knowing that these photographs are timeless and are passed down through many generations.

Do you have liability insurance?

Yes, we do have liability insurance. We can send you a certificate if your venue requires it.

Where are you based and do you travel?

Our photography studio originated in Mamaroneck, NY in Westchester County. Yes, we love to travel - within the tri-state area and anywhere within the U.S. Our photo bags are packed and ready, just tell us when and where to go.

When will we get our photos?

Teaser photos are sent to you within 7 business days of the wedding. You will receive an online private gallery with all your photos after we edit all the images. On average we deliver all the photos and videos within 1-2 months of the wedding date. You can download all the high-resolution images / videos from the private online gallery.

What is your image rights policy?

All the photos come with a copyright release for personal use. You can make digital copies, print images, share with family members or friends, and share on social media. You have unlimited rights as long as the images are not being used for commercial use (such as advertisements). We also never watermark our images.

Do you provide photo editing or retouching?

All of our packages come with photo editing already included. This makes sure that all the photos are adjusted for exposure, color and contrast. Your images will already look top notch as photo editing is part of all our wedding packages.

What equipment do you use?

We are Sony digital full-frame shooters and we love every minute of it. I photograph the wedding on two cameras with two distinct lenses so that I can switch back and forth with speed. We also bring a few flashes with us on the wedding day, just in case we need some extra light to make you look your best.

How do you protect my photos?

We shoot on two memory cards simultaneously so that we have an instant back-up in order to protect your photos. We then also copy all the photos to another hard drive once we get back to our photo studio. Our main priority is to keep your photos safe.

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 (30% of the total invoice) the date is officially yours. The remaining amount is due a month before the wedding.

Timeline & wedding day planning?

Timelines make your day flow smoothly, giving your guests, staff, and vendors a general idea of when and where everything will pan out. This guarantees that everyone is on the same page when the big day rolls around. You can always reach out to discuss timelines or any aspect of the wedding planning.

Do you offer albums or prints?

Yes! We offer a service where we design your album for you. You first pick your favorite album from the list below and then we design it specifically for that album. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you would like during the whole process. You can also choose take on the album design yourself. Here a list of our favorite partners. ALBUMS: artifactuprising.com milkbooks.com zno.com themotionbooks.com PRINTS: whitewall.com printique.com mpix.com

What is your photography background?

I got my Bachelor's from the Fashion Institute of Technology in photography. I worked as a portrait and fashion photographer at the start of my career in NYC. I also work with Marketing & Communication's team at Marist College in Poughkeepsie. I have focused my photo work on couples and weddings for nearly a decade now.
