The Dumbo Loft Wedding: Caitlin and Jodi
The Brooklyn Bridge and lower Manhattan are not accustomed to being upstaged. But Caitlin and Jodi spent their wedding day wrapped around each other, their parents, their families, and eventually most of the population of The Dumbo Loft. The city provided brick, steel, cobblestones, a vintage yellow taxi, and some
74 Wythe Wedding: Mansi and Korey
Two people from different cultures, both with a fantastic sense of style and a deep love for each other and their families. Across two days, I witnessed Mansi and Korey’s families and friends integrate into a beautifully-woven tapestry. Their epic wedding actually spanned four complete days, but the time I
Central Park Boathouse Wedding: Babi and John
Grandeur and intimacy. Planning and chaos. A quiet cake cutting and a packed dance floor. People looking impossibly elegant, then proving they are willing to sweat through their clothes. That is the multiplicity I love in weddings. Babi and John got all of it. They wanted a wedding that felt
The Chapel at Seaside Wedding
As a photographer, I hear a lot of stories about how couples met. It is rare, however, to be part of it before they even get engaged! A while ago, Jan emailed me to book a portrait session. It was not a wedding inquiry. As she put it: “It is
501 Union Wedding: Katie and David
If there was a hashtag for “legitimately wonderful humans,” Katie and David would be the cover image. To say these two are “involved in musical theatre” is a dramatic understatement. It’s in their DNA, and their wedding at Brooklyn’s 501 Union was less of a standard reception and more of
Glen Island Harbor Club Wedding
It was a day filled with sunshine, laughter, and love at Glen Island Harbour Club, celebrating Danielle and Sam. From Danielle’s bridal preparations surrounded by her close friends, including a special first look with her friends before she saw Sam, to their heartfelt first look together in the park, every
The Weylin Brooklyn Wedding
I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect summer day for a wedding at The Weylin under its iconic domes. The couple kicked off the morning at The William Vale, then stole away for a quiet stroll through Domino Park with sweeping views of the NYC skyline—proof that this stretch
The Pearl, San Francisco Wedding
Ryan and Mariah are awesome clients, and not just because of Ryan’s incredible taste in first names. I flew out to The Pearl, a stunning artistic and industrial venue in San Francisco. The day surprised us with perfect weather—utterly fog-free—and was filled with laughter, connection, and joy. From their stylish
The Suffolk Theatre Wedding
I absolutely love going on journeys with my clients, which usually takes the form of photographing couples when their families begin to grow. But few journeys have been as long as mine with Diana, since I photographed her as her sister’s bridesmaid in 2006 — achieving the highest honor for
Garden City Hotel Wedding
How incredibly lucky I feel to have been a part of Julie and Marc’s incredible wedding at the Garden City Hotel. The sun was shining brilliantly, setting the stage for a beautiful celebration. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing two of Julie’s cousins’ weddings, so seeing so many familiar faces
Tribeca Rooftop Wedding: Salisha and Andrew
Salisha and Andrew smile with their whole bodies. On an ordinary day, being around that much warmth and enthusiasm is infectious. On their wedding day, their joy seemed barely containable by the walls of Tribeca Rooftop. And these are people who know how to fill a room. The wedding brought
Edgewood Country Club Wedding
It was great to be back at the Edgewood Country Club for Zoe and Judah’s wedding. Edgewood is a beautiful venue that recently expanded with extensive construction and renovation. It is just the place it takes to house a wedding with rafter-shaking energy like this. I knew from their Manhattan
