What would you like couples to know about you?

My relationship with couples is never transactional. I care deeply about the people I photograph and never forget how meaningful a wedding day truly is. Each celebration is a personal, once-in-a-lifetime event, and I make sure to remember that every time I walk into a room.

Where are you based?

Brooklyn, NY.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes! Seeing new places and cultures always feeds into the work I create.

How would you describe your style?

Relaxed and organic, never too over the top. I’m drawn to the rich tones of film and the candid moments you didn’t even realize I captured.

What is your most memorable career moment?

My most memorable career moments aren’t defined by accolades or milestones — they happen quietly, in real time. They’re the moments when I’m joking with a family member, thanked by a parent, or wrapped in a hug from a bride or groom at the end of the night. Each time, I’m reminded that I’ve been invited into something deeply sacred and profoundly personal. Being trusted to witness and document a day that means so much to so many people is something I never take lightly, and that feeling never stops being special.

What inspires you?

Vintage wedding photos, street photography, fashion photography. Mostly human connection.

How would you describe your working style?

Unobtrusive, yet personal. I always tell my couples that my goal is to be a part of your wedding day. Ensuring that your guests feel comfortable being themselves in front of the camera, so that their personality shines through the photos.

Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?

Both! I usually favor film.

Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?

Yes! I custom tailor each package to fit my clients’ needs.

Where would you love to travel to for work?

Some places top of mind right now: a mountain valley wedding out West, a summer celebration in Greece, or a low country gathering in New Orleans.

Who is your dream client?

I’m drawn to clients who are creative, value thoughtful design, love fashion, and prioritize an unforgettable, in-the-moment experience for themselves and their guests.

What is your advice to couples getting married?

Remember that you don’t have to follow the rules. Think outside of the box and make your celebration uniquely yours. Don’t forget that the point of it all is to have fun and marry the love of your life!
