In the bustling heart of Manhattan on a sunny afternoon, where just across the street there was a long line of 20-something women waiting for a big Reformation Sale, I had the privilege of photographing Rebecca and John at the Little Church. As a seasoned NYC wedding photographer, specializing in elopements and micro-weddings, I have had the privilege of witnessing countless tales of love, and it never gets old seeing how special each couples’ story and romance is.

The best way to get intimate fun photos in my opinion, is to embrace your wedding photographer as a guest/friend at your wedding. I’ll take care of the professional parts of being your vendor, but when you view me as a friend and let your guard down, it allows us so many opportunities to make magical photos! And that’s what Katie and Stan did. They invited me to eat with their family and friends and let me do my artistic creative thing all while chatting with me and sharing about life! It was laid back and 100% them.

For those who might not consider themselves fans of traditional family photoshoots, there are occasions that call for a more authentic approach. In the heart of Brooklyn, one such memorable experience unfolded as this sweet family embraced a cinematic documentary style to capture their everyday life.

Misha and Sahil flew in their closest family members all the way from Tennessee for this Brooklyn Bridge NYC Elopement!!

We had so much fun waking up so early for their sunrise elopement on the bridge! Brett got to perform a quick ceremony and everybody got to do lots of shots of 7am celebratory whiskey while early morning runners and Bridge walkers congratulated them!

I’m a photographer who is for non-rushed non-traditional wedding couples in New York City and the Tri-State area. Having a photographer who knows and loves the city is essential when you plan your elopement or micro wedding here. I champion your love and your story on your wedding day and work with you to create a customized wedding day, while also knowing whether we should take a train or a taxi and knowing what pizza is worth your time and money.
