Documentary Meets Refinement

Your wedding is your own — shaped by what feels meaningful to you.

I photograph with a balance of documentary awareness and refined composition — preserving real moments as they unfold while creating portraits that feel natural and intentional.

Your day will move in its own rhythm. My role is to pay attention — guiding when helpful, stepping back when the moment speaks for itself.

Testimonials

Travel & Collaboration

Based in the Hudson Valley and working frequently throughout New York City, Westchester, Connecticut, and destination locations, I collaborate closely with planners and creative partners to ensure the day flows smoothly and the visual details are thoughtfully preserved. Travel is quoted individually.

Coverage Philosophy

Coverage is structured to document the full arc of the day — from quiet preparation through the energy of the reception — allowing the story to unfold naturally.

Image Quantity

While every wedding is different, most couples receive several hundred thoughtfully edited images that tell the complete story of the day.

A Focused Approach

I photograph a limited number of weddings each year so that each couple receives my full creative focus and attention.

If this approach resonates with you, I would be honored to hear about your plans.

What’s Included With Every Wedding

Every wedding experience is designed with care, structure, and intention — so you can feel supported without ever feeling managed.

Complete Photography Coverage

Your wedding is photographed using professional digital systems chosen for reliability, tonal depth, and clarity. Every frame is handled with attention to light, movement, and nuance.

Unlimited Consultations & Timeline Planning

From the moment you book, we work together to shape a timeline that protects what matters — unhurried space, meaningful interactions, and room for moments to unfold naturally. A well-designed day creates better photographs and a better experience.

High-Resolution Online Gallery

Your images are delivered in a private, high-resolution gallery for downloading and printing. The gallery is thoughtfully edited and cohesive, designed to feel like a complete narrative rather than a collection of files.

Delivery Within 35 Business Days

Your finished wedding gallery is delivered within 35 business days — carefully edited and consistent — so you can revisit the day while it still feels immediate.

Digital & Film Options

Weddings are photographed primarily in digital format, with film available as an intentional addition for couples drawn to its texture and tonal quality.

Heirloom Albums

Your photographs are meant to be lived with — not stored on a hard drive.

Wedding days move quickly. Photographs remain.

I offer handcrafted heirloom albums made in the United States using archival materials and traditional binding methods. Each album is custom designed and built to endure — something that will be opened on anniversaries and passed forward long after digital formats evolve.

An album is not an accessory to the work.

It is its final form.

Investment

Wedding collections begin at $6,800.

Most couples invest $8,000+ for comprehensive coverage and heirloom albums.
