An engagement shoot...but it's a private rave with just the two of you plugged in 🎧
I love when my couples bring props and activities to use or do together during engagement sessions. It brings out an authenticity and allows me to capture you in your element. This one was no exception and I can't wait to capture their wedding next year!!

It's giving "Begin Again." IYKYK.

Some fave sneak peeks from a very glam engagement party at .
It's such a gift to witness so many people coming together to celebrate love.

Rainy days at call for some bubble umbrellas and black and white moments 🖤🤍
These two (and my amazing associate ) were such troopers on this rainy fall day. A little downpour will not stand in the way of starting their next chapter together!

Brooklyn Botanic Garden is closing their photo permits for the season. But never fear - I have great garden location alternatives if you are looking to propose among foliage and flowers 💐

Because nothing says "just married!" like your NYC pizza box from the night before! These two came from out of state to elope in New York City and flew in TWO weekends in a row to get married at Bethesda Terrace in Central Park! That's commitment in more ways than one, if you ask me 🤭

I live for elopements. There is nothing like the intimacy the location of your choosing, surrounded by nobody or surrounded by strangers, and making personal vows to each other that only you, your officiant [and maybe your photographer witness] will have the privilege of hearing. Being present for these moments is an honor that I do not take lightly. I hope to make more couples' New York City elopement and wedding dreams come true and have them captured for eternity!

Looking to elope in Central Park? The Ladies Pavilion is perfect for an intimate ceremony and can comfortably seat about 10 guests! And the best part? You have all of Central Park (and the Upper West Side) to galavant around before or after to take couples’ portraits to celebrate your nuptials! If you're looking to plan your perfect elopement day, be that at City Hall, Central Park, or anywhere around New York City, reach out and we'll craft your day together!

OBSESS WITH ME PLZ. This gallery was delivered last night and I could not be more excited about these photos!!!! And these are just the half of it. Part two includes Chinatown, boba tea and a custom dress that will blow you away 🥰 I love when my couples are down to shoot at South Street Seaport. You cannot beat the Brooklyn Bridge views and the OG Manhattan warehouse buildings. When we found this abandoned brick room, I was so excited to bring out my new mini flash for some epic brick wall shots 📸

We are in the height of fall photo season right now and each shoot has given me so much joy and inspiration. So excited to crank out galleries before mini sessions this weekend!

Most people don't expect a slight workout when they take their engagement photos 🤭 When we work together, be prepared for some light jogging and frolicking hand-in-hand around the city.

So he turned around for the first look before she could tap him on the shoulder...he was toooo excited to see his bride! But can you blame him?!

First looks are one of my favorite parts of a wedding day, and this one was no exception. Such a perfect moment in front of the Brooklyn Bridge, watched lovingly by their kids 💕

I can totally understand wanting to wait to see each other until you walk down the aisle. But DID YOU KNOW that first looks free you up on your wedding day so you can enjoy your more of your party? When you choose to see each other before your ceremony, you can knock out all your portraits, family photos, wedding party photos, etc. before your ceremony so you don't have to miss most of your cocktail hour. Just some food for thought. I'll always help you pick the best photo opportunities that are right for YOU.

One of the things I love about my job is that I can put my theatre degree to use, in so many ways!!! But the most fun part is when I get to pretend I have no idea these fiancés have big engagement parties they're about to walk into right after their proposal! After their beautiful garden proposal in the West Village, I bounced around with V + B to take some engagement photos and even stopped at their apartment to take pics with their little pup!

Then, I wished them all the happiness, we parted ways, and BOOM. I showed up about an hour later at their engagement party (photos to come later)! I'm a ninja like that. It's so much fun to be a part of these surprise parties. I feel right at home, as I grew up with my parents throwing surprise parties left and right 🤭

Sneak peeks from the first proposal of the month in Central Park! K went ALL OUT for this proposal. He told J that he had a work event in NYC and they were having a fancy work party at the Loeb Boathouse in . He even created an 'official' flyer for the event and got his coworkers on board! I saw the flyer. It was legit. I appreciate creativity of all kinds and I especially love adding to my list of epic proposal schemes so I have stories when people ask me if I have "seen any elaborate proposals."

A few more Central Park proposals in the books for this month. We're about to see some epic fall colors in our parks. Don't wait to book your photo session! All your fave photographers are booking up!

Thank you for being my second 📸 and capturing from behind the bushes 🤭
