I believe the best photos happen when you forget about the camera.

I'm not interested in turning your wedding into a photoshoot.


I'm there to document the day as it actually unfolds: the quiet nerves, the belly laughs, the chaos, the emotion, and the moments in between that end up meaning the most.


I keep things calm and unobtrusive, stepping in when needed and staying out of the way when not. The result is photos that feel real and genuinely you.

frequently asked questions

Investment begins at $5,000. Each wedding is unique, so please inquire for a custom proposal tailored to your specific needs.

I do! While my standard wedding coverage begins at $5,000, I offer custom collections for elopements and smaller events. Reach out and we’ll discuss.

Absolutely. I’m based in NYC, but I travel all over the world for weddings and events!

Reach out below! Be sure to include as much detail in your message as you can (event location, date, any specific requests that are top of mind). We’ll find a time to connect over a coffee or via phone/zoom if easier!

You’re not alone! Most folks feel the same frankly. I can promise you that you probably feel more anxious/awkward than you actually look behind the lens. That said, part of my job is getting you more comfortable and present with your partner/friends/family. I'll give you gentle direction to help you look your best, but my goal is really to create a space for you to be yourselves.

You’ll get a sneak peek gallery pretty soon after the wedding - usually within 24-48 hours! These will include a collection of my favorites and/or any special requests you have. The full gallery will be available usually within 2 months of your wedding date (but sometimes sooner depending on the season).

You can expect about 700-1000 quality images for a typical wedding.

Let's create something
beautiful.
