About
I believe weddings are about people first.
The people who raised you, shaped you, made you laugh, held your hand through difficult seasons, and gather together to celebrate one of the most meaningful days of your life.
My approach blends documentary storytelling with intentional artistry, creating photographs that feel honest, atmospheric, and deeply personal. Rather than turning your wedding into a production, I focus on preserving the experience as it unfolds—the emotion, the movement, the relationships, and the moments that often go unnoticed while they're happening.
With over a decade of experience and more than 75 weddings photographed, I approach every celebration with the same goal: to create imagery that feels as meaningful years from now as it does today.
My background in fine art and art history heavily influences the way I see and document the world. I'm drawn to light, texture, atmosphere, and the small details that help tell a larger story. The result is a gallery that feels both artistic and deeply rooted in real life.
Based in New York and available for weddings, elopements, and destination celebrations, I work with couples who value presence over perfection and want photographs that reflect not only how their wedding looked, but how it felt to be there.
If you're looking for a photographer who will help you feel comfortable, guide you when needed, and preserve your day with intention, I'd love to hear more about what you're planning.
