Tell us about your business!

I'm an NYC-based photographer specializing in elopements, intimate weddings, and author portraits. I love color, cats, and confetti, and you'll find them sprinkled throughout my work.

What would you like couples to know about you?

I shoot all over the city, but NYC City Hall elopements are my superpower. After guiding hundreds of couples through the iconic 'DMV of Love,' I've gained an intimate knowledge of how to make the day feel effortless and meaningful. My goal is to infuse your personalities and favorite parts of the city into a joyful, inclusive experience.

Where are you based?

I’m based in New York City, where I’ve lived for the past 18 years.

Do you travel for weddings?

I spend time in the Bay Area each year (let’s talk about San Francisco city hall!), but I mainly take on elopements and intimate weddings in NYC and its surrounding areas, including upstate New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

How would you describe your style?

I like to say it’s lived-in yet elevated! Playful, vibrant, candid and a little nostalgic.

What inspires you?

I’m genuinely inspired by my couples and their connection to the city. I love seeing its magic and motion through their eyes, whether they're locals or coming to NYC just to elope.

How would you describe your working style?

My working style is a mix of collaborative, supportive, and fun. I love getting to know my clients and learning what their day means to them so I can craft a truly bespoke experience with photos to match. I'll guide you through all the logistics and my goal is to make you feel completely at ease. I'll always have confetti on hand and a trick for getting that perfect empty subway photo in my back pocket.

Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?

Yes! All of my elopement and intimate wedding packages can be customized to add more time or locations, an engagement shoot, and more. I also offer a rush delivery option that gets your full gallery delivered within one week, in case you’re eager to share everything with family and friends who couldn't be there.

Who is your dream client?

My dream clients are the ones who are silly and up for anything. They’ll pose with pigeons, are excited to ride the subway in their wedding attire, and kinda hope it rains so we can have the Brooklyn Bridge all to ourselves.

What is your advice to couples getting married?

My best advice is to break the rules and truly do whatever you want on your wedding day. Elopements give you so much freedom, so focus on what feels meaningful to you, not just what's traditional. If you're a local Brooklyn couple, we could capture a refined version of your everyday life by starting at your apartment with your pets before taking the ferry to your city hall ceremony and ending with your favorite dim sum. Or, if you're flying in, we can focus on the parts of the city you've always wanted to explore. It's all about making the day feel entirely like you.
