Had a privilege to document this super classy and beautifully put together celebration of Megan and Corinne last June at my neighborhood Brooklyn Botanic Garden! The Palm House as always provided a perfect setting for a fun party and, of course, we were able to explore the lush grounds for wedding photos earlier in the day.
Their wedding date also happened to be the first day of Pride Month! It is always such an honor to support same sex couples and document all kinds of love! Thank you Corinne and Megan for having me along for the ride:)

Time to share this joyous celebration of Alex and Chris at the beautiful Greenpoint Loft we photographed last May.
“Alex most adores Chris's militant kindness, unending curiosity, and truly unique perspective on all things. Chris is enamored of Alex's caring nature and sensitivity, and both her enthusiasm for the finer things in life and her desire to share those things with the people she loves.”

Happy New Year!! So grateful to have documented 47 weddings this past year and met some of the most amazing loving and inspiring couples! 2017 started with photographing my first official lesbian wedding in a snowstorm in Brooklyn! I shot lots and lots of rainy weddings and can officially say that rain is beautiful and everyone should embrace it. I did my first road trip from San Francisco to Seattle and Pacific North West is forever in my heart! I fell into a fountain pool in the middle of family portraits at a wedding and luckily I had a spare pair of pants that I miraculously decided to bring with me that day. It was also hopefully funny for Megan and Doug and surprisingly not as embarrassing as I thought it would be:) I photographed 2 Greek and 2 Indian weddings and I am inspired by all the different cultures and traditions and thankful for these couples for trusting my style and vision. I photographed the most relaxed and gorgeous back yard wedding of 2 soul mates from Canada. I am truly in awe of their connection and how effortless their day turned out although it was full of so many beautiful personal touches! I photographed a very special wedding in Maine and got to enjoy the nature and many many lobsters on our road trip there. I also sprained my ankle on a Maine mountain and it messed with me for the rest of the year and yet I shot weddings almost every weekend after the incident for about 3 months non stop. I welcomed couples from Canada, England, Scotland, Australia, Japan, Singapore and Ireland! I volunteered for Magic Hour foundation and photographed a Brooklyn family who is about to loose a loving father to cancer. Photography is the best gift I can give to anyone!

It's time I share some Brooklyn love with you! Hayley and Ryan met at work 5 years ago and became friends right away but didn't start dating until a year later after one fateful canceled date Ryan instead invited Hayley to a concert where "a spark" finally happened! I met these two in a their neighborhood Brooklyn coffee shop and they seemed so into each other I knew their day would be fun and full of laughter. Hayley and Ryan told me they are the biggest goofballs who love to laugh more than anything, go on adventures, hang out with their two pups and looking to help out the world! It was a pleasure getting to know these two amazing people and capturing their beautiful stylish Brooklyn celebration!

None of us anticipated rain for such an outdoorsy venue as Queens Farm Museum but it was all worth it and we even got to get inside the Museum building. As we stood there in one of the old rooms of the house Matt told me how important the house is to his family history and how they make new memories there as often as possible. His grandmother was born in this very house! We did the first look in one of the rooms where Ashley and Matt took a cooking class together. I love these two because I could feel the intensity of their love right there in that moment. It was so emotional and so raw. And then it poured and poured more and although we didn't get to meet the llamas we did our best to capture some photos outside in the rain. I am so grateful to Ashley and Matt for trusting my vision and being so open about getting a little wet to get some awesome rain photos at night. I am amazed at how much work Ashley and Matt put into their celebration. From finding a ton of unique vintage plates and tea cups to designing her own flowers Ashley made it look effortless and so amazingly beautiful.

Michelle and Kevin had a beautiful celebration at The Loeb Boathouse in Central Park back in September! These two are absolute sweethearts and their ceremony was so touching:) Honestly, I was beyond excited to finally work at the Boathouse and it blew me away. Such a gorgeous venue!

I met Chris and Liz long before their wedding at a wedding show in Brooklyn. These two were so in love and very excited about the wedding day to come. I think the word 'exciting" is an understatement for how their celebration really felt! It was grand, it was emotional and it was gorgeous and crazy all at the same time! It was also the hottest August day I can remember but it didn't really matter:) After a beautiful ceremony the guests enjoyed cocktails on a rooftop bar at The Skylark followed by what I can only call "the most epic dance party ever"! Chris and Liz busted some crazy moves on the dance floor and their friends and family did not disappoint either:) Thank you once again to Chris and Liz for making me a part of their day and letting me capture all the fun!

This elegant and sophisticated wedding of Alison and Andwele happened back in April! I think the most amazing part of the day was their daughter being so so happy as they were getting married:)

Ali and Andwele and tying the knot tonight so why not share their engagement photos right on their wedding day?:) After rescheduling multiple times and hoping for a good weather in March I had to be creative and find a good indoor location for these two because the weather did not want to cooperate after all. We decided to shoot at the Metropolitan Museum and it might just be one of my favorite new spots! It's a mix of architectural elements and the ambient light of the space that got me so excited and, of course, all the art pieces are just a perfect addition to some of the photos! I can't wait for today's wedding and looking forward to share more of A + A love story soon:)

This intimate wedding of Melissa and Jason was simply fabulous and so heartfelt! I met with Melissa last year over a glass of beer/wine (can't remember but it was one of these haha) and I think I knew everything about her family and Jason by the end of that hour! She is so full of life and that fabulous energy of hers just comes through the photos! Finally meeting Jason on their wedding day and witnessing their emotional vow exchange was something special. These two are so good together! And what can be better than Jason's nephew giving the most hilarious speech at the end of the night? I've heard a few speeches in my time and this one was seriously the best:) I want to thank Melissa for being the perfect bride for me and letting me do my magic on her wedding day! Congrats once again, Melissa and Jason!

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!

I never really believed in online dating until I started shooting weddings. It turns out so many of my couples found their love online. Olga and Javier are no exception. These two opted for a private elopement at the New York City Hall followed by a photo session in Central Park. I love working with couples who have a vision for their wedding photos and Olga and Javier were wonderful collaborators. We took a stroll around the lake stopping by the iconic Bethesda Fountain and we found some gorgeous blossoming cherry trees. However, Olga and Javier were most excited about the lake and the row boats after seeing some of my other photos taken on the lake. Unfortunately, the boathouse was closing earlier but it didn’t stop us. The guys at the boathouse were so kind to let the newlyweds enjoy the boat ride after the closing hours and we got the shots we wanted:) Congratulations once again, Olga and Javier!
