This NYC surprise proposal from a snowy December morning was everything you could hope it would be. Nelson, our devoted and thoughtful ‘proposer’ took every measure to make this moment special for his loving fiancé, Songyeon, from surprising her with a bunch of their friends as witnesses, to carefully working with me to select a location that would be calm and private (as much as you possibly can be in NYC), and still beautiful with iconic views. We confirmed it was the perfect spot during our on-site consultation, so I could guide him on the approach, their positioning, and we could envision how the light would serve us. Their portraits following the surprise were simple and concise in how far we ventured, but damn did we make the best out of it, with sights of Lady Liberty on the riverside, skyline views, and architectural intrigue.

If you want to surprise your love with an invitation to spend your lives together hit me up; I’ll help you make it special and capture exactly how it felt. ❤️

Heyyy, I’m back! After a nearly year long IG hiatus here I am diving back into social media, beginning with a big re-cap of every wedding and elopement couple I worked with in 2024. Long overdue, and in no particular order. It’s now April ‘25, and 2024 already feels like ages ago, and looking back at all of these it’s clear to me I was a different photographer and different person in January than I was in December, and to call it a journey would be an understatement. 2024 was my second full year of wedding photography and it is mind blowing to me how I got to be a part of so many people’s precious moments, and created work that I am so proud of. Lots of things changed throughout the course of the year; my gear improved, my light set up expanded, I worked with a number of fantastic second photographers and teamed up with an incredible videographer, and I encountered so many different locations and scenarios I’m in a whirlwind just thinking about it.

I also became all too familiar with the “editing cave,” and the demands of the backend work while shooting a high volume of events and sessions. I learned that I am resolved to give every couple my whole self regardless of my busy schedule; I can’t bring myself to utilize AI the way other photographers do (all the power to them!) to apply a uniform color grading style across their portfolio, because I get too much gratification out of approaching each gallery individually; making my photos feel like that day and complimenting that couple’s style and vibe. Every wedding is unique and I love the creativity I get to indulge in to depict them as such… (Continued in comments)

(Trying to tag every single vendor in this post would have been a nightmare, but I am happy to add them upon request! Promise I will be more thorough with individual wedding posts)
