Gorgeous Golden Hour Engagement Session at Montauk Beach, Long Island

I’m mostly based in New York City and usually shoot the urban backdrops, but sometimes I get opportunities to see other parts of New York State- haha. So for Ian and Meg’s engagement session, we ventured deep to the tip of Long Island, to Montauk. I was able to experience the serene beauty of Montauk Beach. The sun was GORGEOUS and it cast its golden hues across the horizon— and Ian and Meg's affection was so palpable — and I was so happy to be able to document that in their photographs. The entire session was so much fun and I wish them the most beautiful future together.

Beautiful Engagement Session in Downtown Manhattan and Dumbo, Brooklyn Bridge Park

Olivia and Andrew met in New York City and had their first apartment together in the Lower East Side before moving to Brooklyn.. and soon they would be packing up and moving cross country to LA, California! So to commemorate their time in NYC, they decided to have their engagement session done in their two neighborhoods! We began over by Cooper Square and then headed over to Dumbo! I loved being able to walk around these two creative neighborhoods and photograph their love! Featuring my favorite pit-stop: PIZZA, here are some of my favorite highlights from our session:

Beautiful New York City West Village Wedding Couple Photography Session

I had the honor of photographing Kyoohee and John in the west village in NYC. They wanted to do their wedding portraits with their best friends; their dogs and it was such a fun experience! They looked stunning in their outfits and the dogs had the most adorable flower collars and bow ties! The whole look was a vibe! We went around the west village, finding the best storefronts and brown stones to capture! Again, I love being a NYC wedding photographer because I get to have so much fun finding these great spots.

Vibrant and Fun Wedding at Rule of Thirds in Brooklyn, NY

I recently had the pleasure of capturing a truly breathtaking wedding at an amazing venue called the Rule of Thirds, located in the vibrant city of Brooklyn, New York. This wedding was filled with gorgeous moments, sweetness, and heaps of fun!

To kickstart the wedding day, the lovely couple got ready at the Coda Hotel, which provided a cozy and comfortable environment. As a photographer, being able to document those special behind-the-scenes moments was an absolute delight. There's something truly magical about capturing the excitement and anticipation as the bride and groom prepare for their big day.

As we ventured out into the vibrant neighborhood of Williamsburg, the photo session became even more enjoyable. The couple radiated happiness and their love for each other was simply contagious. Exploring the streets of Williamsburg provided a fantastic backdrop for the photos, adding an edgy and unique vibe to the shoot. But let's not forget about the highlight of the day: the wedding itself at the Rule of Thirds. Not only was the venue stunning, but the food was equally amazing. The combination of delectable dishes and a vibrant atmosphere created an unforgettable experience for all the guests.

The wedding had a classic and classy feel, but what truly made it stand out was the fun and excitement that filled the air. From the heartfelt speeches to the energetic dancing, it was clear that everyone was having a fantastic time, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

As a photographer, it was a privilege to capture all these beautiful moments and emotions. My goal was to document not only the wedding itself but also the vibrant and lively personalities of the couple and their guests. It's always an honor to be able to freeze these precious moments in time and create a visual story that reflects the love, excitement, and joy of the day.

All in all, this wedding was a perfect blend of elegance, vibrancy, and pure excitement. It was a truly unique and fun celebration of love, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of it.
