A Trump National Spring Wedding I met Erica in Central Park just a few weeks ago! She contacted me to take her bridal portraits in Central Park to display at her wedding at the end of May. Erica and her maid of honor were heading down 72nd Street toward Central Park West in full wedding […]
A Backyard Spring Wedding I thought, I can’t possibly continue with my plan to post this gorgeous Spring styled shoot when no one can get married right now. Then, I actually really looked at these images. It occurred to me, I MUST post these spring wedding photos? Why? Because a styled shoot is nothing short […]


Sunrise Session at Belvedere Castle Rachel and Franco are very easy going. So easy going, in fact, that they didn’t even bat an eye when I suggested a sunrise engagement session in Central Park! And they didn’t even complain when it landed on the coldest morning in October! I don’t think any of us realized […]
A Sunrise Engagement & Champagne Toast I may not naturally be a “morning person,” but I love sunrise sessions. I really love them. As much as I dislike dragging myself out of bed before the sun, I dislike working around crowds even more. I typically recommend a sunrise session for two types of sessions: beach […]

A Fall Wedding in the Catskills Driving up through the Catskills, I immediately felt sentiment for the years of road trips my husband and I have taken over the years, heading north. From day trips to West Point to weeklong trips to the Adirondacks, I have such fond memories of the New York State Thruway. […]
Ali & Brad’s Greek Wedding I’ve been looking forward to this wedding all year! Ali and Brad’s wedding was my first Greek Orthodox wedding, so we decided from the start, that I would attend their rehearsal the night before so I could watch them go through the motions and learn about this beautiful ceremony! There […]


Going to the Chapel I’ve been spending a lot of editing hours watching wedding movies in the background, and love seeing what Hollywood assumes a wedding should look like. It’s always different (and always missing photographers), but aside from no photographer, they’re much like every wedding I get to photograph! No two weddings are the […]
There are just some brides that you get to know really well, so that by the time the wedding day comes around, you’re already friends. That’s how I would describe my relationship with Cara. Leading up to the wedding day, there were several emails, texts, direct messages, etc. and I absolutely loved it! I first […]
