My ultimate goal is to capture your memories as timelessly, artistically, and organically as possible. Both intentional and creative, I shoot a combination of digital and film. I will document your wedding as it naturally unfolds, seamlessly incorporating tailored portraiture, candid storytelling, and elevated editorial detail. The result is a collection of timeless images; candid yet composed moments, artfully blended classic photographs with joyful spontaneity.
I serve my clients with not only stunning images, but with impeccable service. I work with couples in NYC, New England and worldwide.
Values & Approach
EXPERIENCE // My goal is not just for my clients to have beautiful photos, but to have an incredible experience with me. I aim to be that assuring and calming presence on your wedding day, and always strive to be efficient, to allow you to enjoy every moment.
TIMELESSNESS // Timelessness is a cornerstone of my approach as a hybrid, film + digital wedding photographer. As the years pass and trends evolve, the importance of creating work that transcends the constraints of time and fashion becomes of utmost importance to me. My images preserve the essence of a moment, which allows my couples to revisit the magic of their wedding day with the same joy and nostalgia decades later. In a world where everything seems to move at a relentless pace, timeless wedding photography serves as an anchor, grounding us in the beauty of the things that are most valuable in life.
BALANCE // This is a core value that exists in my work but also in my life. I want your photos to be bright and joyful, but also sentimental and elegant. My balanced approach is about finding an equilibrium between light and shadow, candid moments and posed portraits, and intricate details and stunning landscapes. Achieving balance ensures every aspect of your day is authentically represented, capturing the full spectrum of aesthetics, beauty, and genuine emotions.
HONESTY // Reality over perfection, always. This is another area where balance comes in to play. I always aim to find that perfect balance of beautifully photographed details, well-directed portraits, and genuine candid moments between your loved ones to tell the story of your day.
THOUGHTFULNESS & INTENTIONALITY // Intentionality goes beyond the act of taking a photo; it's about having a purposeful approach to every aspect of my craft. It is a mindset that affects every decision I make, from the words I speak, to the composition, to the timing, to the editing process. Being thoughtful means actively seeking out moments of significance, both grand and subtle, and understanding the story they tell. It requires patience, empathy, and a deep respect for the those in front of me. This allows me to capture not just what is seen, but what is felt, ensuring each image embodies purpose and authenticity.
FLEXIBILITY // My approach to a wedding day is my same approach to life: always go in with a well-thought out game plan but when it comes down to it, we go with the flow. Life doesn’t happen exactly as we plan it and neither do weddings, but that’s what makes them beautifully unique to you and your story! That’s what makes them real. Should you choose to dance in the rain, either literally or metaphorically, I’ll be right there by your side to document it.
