I met Jayel and Shawn for the first time in Long Island while we explored their neighborhood along with their adorable dog Roxy during their engagement session. I knew their day would be beautiful but when I arrived at Jedediah Hawkins Inn I couldn't have imagined everything coming together so perfectly! Jayel and Shawn have the most amazing supportive family and friends and, of course, their dog Roxy was the flower girl:) The location, the weather, all the emotions and that huge moon illuminating the tent at the end of the night made this a celebration to remember!

Read MoreInternational Love Story - Veronika and Hiren - New York City Hall and High Line
Veronika and Hiren's love story is truly international! Hiren is Indian born in UAE and Veronika is German and they found each other in Abu Dhabi almost a decade ago. There is probably not a better place to elope than NYC for a couple like that:) Having visited Abu Dhabi earlier this year it was kinda awesome to have a mental picture of where they met and I was excited to document their wedding here in New York. As different as these two are they have one thing in common and it is their love and affection for each other! I couldn't help but notice how goofy and light-hearted Veronika and Hiren were with each other which was the best thing to capture. Veronika's laughter was infectious:)! We picked the High Line in West Village for their portraits and I am kinda obsessed with how cool and urban this off-the-beaten path neighborhood is! Congrats once again, Veronika and Hiren!
Read MoreIntimate Wedding at Isabella's, Manhattan, NY - Jeneen and Eric
When two writers get married one can expect a laid back intimate ceremony with beautiful speeches! I absolutely loved everything about Jeneen and Eric's wedding. They decided to tie the knot in their neighborhood's favorite spot - Isabella's Restaurant. The place was meaningful to them because they also met in the same neighborhood so when Eric's parents suggested it as a possible venue they ultimately decided to go with what's close to the heart. I think it's important to mention that these two planned their wedding in an extremely short period of time and it couldn't have turned out better! At the end of the day, Jeneen and Eric's wedding day felt like a little adventure and these two felt more like two good friends of mine rather than clients! And that's always a great feeling:) Congrats Jeneen and Eric on your 1 month anniversary!

Helen and David are that perfect quirky couple who get as excited as I am finding a random throne while walking in Dumbo, Brooklyn. Yes, I said throne! Just keep scrolling down for the epic throne photos and more colorful NYC inspired shots of these two amazing people!
Read MoreShakespeare Garden Intimate Wedding, Central Park, New York - Jenny and Jonathan
Jenny and Jonathan got married in an intimate ceremony in a beautiful Shakespeare Garden in Central Park. To spice things up, NYC almost got a hurricane on their wedding day so we ended up taking photos with 50 mph wind gusts. When I arrived to document Jenny and Jonathan getting ready at the Wythe Hotel they told me their venue had to cancel their dinner because their venue was a boat and the wind was too crazy:) These two were real troopers and without much complaining they decided to head to a local beer garden in Brooklyn right after their ceremony. To me, their wedding day was so epic and so special I wouldn't have it any other way:)
Read MoreBrooklyn Bridge Park, Fornino's Wedding, Brooklyn, NY - Amy and George
Three things stood out for me about Amy and George's wedding! First of all, we miraculously managed to get some epic shots in Brooklyn Bridge Park before it started pouring during their ceremony! Second, their party was officially the craziest dance floor of the year (I guess, that was to be expected at a dancer's wedding!). Third, Amy and George are the sweetest most genuine people who are crazy in love with each other!! Needless to say, I loved being a part of this wedding and I am beyond excited to finally share these images here. Congrats once again, Amy and George!

I loved documenting Julie and Gabe's intimate wedding at ICI Restaurant in Fort Greene. Such a unique and gorgeous spot! We met at Fort Greene for their touching first look and Gabe couldn't hold back his happy tears! It's always an honor to witness these special raw moments and Julie and Gabe's wedding was full of them. They had a beautiful ceremony in the backyard of ICI Restaurant followed by a laid back evening of amazing food and toasts AND unexpected dancing!:)
Read MoreWestbury Manor Wedding, Long Island - Fernanda and Alejandro
Fernanda and Alejandro got married in Westbury Manor, Long Island. It was one of these perfect cloudy Fall days for an outdoor ceremony. I remember meeting Fernanda and Alejandro for the first time and they were both so excited about the wedding day! We ended up chatting for a looong time about their inspiration and I couldn't help but share as many tips as I could because I myself was a newly wed at the time. 4 months later their vision came to life beautifully and I had so much fun capturing their day. Congratulations, Fernanda and Alejandro!
