Documenting the joy of getting married in extraordinary places.

Wedding and elopement photographer serving the New York City area destinations in New England and beyond!

Spring, Central Park and pizza, you can’t go wrong.

This was the only elopement in 2026 where the Bethesda Fountain was running. It was off most of the time until it was shutdown for restoration in August for a whole year. Can’t wait for it to reopen!

In addition to that good luck, we also found wisteria blooming. Late April is usually a good time for that.

Some nights stay with you.

On September 17, we had the honor of planning our NPNO evening at Carnegie Hall. A new stage, a new world beyond weddings, and a team of partners we trust completely by our side.

Thank you to NPNO for the trust, and to Carnegie Hall and Constellation Culinary for welcoming us. And to every partner below: you brought your very best to a brand new room. We are so proud of this one. 🤍

After their ceremony at 620 Loft and Garden, we went to Central Park. While walking on the mall, someone was giving away donuts for jokes which made for a quirky moment! We explored more of the park ending by the Boathouse because the fountain was closed off.

For the most iconic view in NYC, you can’t beat 620 Loft & Garden which overlooks St.Patrick’s Cathedral on 5th Ave.

Intimate weddings are possible there but bookings can only be made 3 months before and time slots are limited.

Additionally, the fee is high, as you’d expect. But for this view? Priceless.

On the edge of Central Park sits the Park Lane New York hotel. It is a great location to get ready for a Central Park elopement. I also hear the rooftop bar is fun and I love the recent interior design upgrades.

It is never too late to order an album, your wedding photographs deserve to live somewhere beautiful!

I offer a range of handcrafted Queensberry albums, including gorgeous real leather and micro leather (vegan) cover options in a variety of colors and finishes.

And your wedding doesn’t have to fit into a single album. I love the idea of creating multiple albums to tell the whole story—one for the wedding day, another for the welcome dinner or rehearsal dinner, or smaller companion albums for family.

Want to see all the options? My album guide walks you through the albums, materials, sizes, and process. Link in bio.

And one more thing: you don’t have to be a photography client of mine to order a Queensberry album through me. If you already have a print release from your photographer, I can design and order a beautiful album for you using your photographs.

Your wedding photos shouldn’t spend the rest of their lives sitting on a hard drive.

Holiday deadlines start October 21st!

This gorgeous September weather has me reminiscing about this late summer dinner party. The dahlias, zinnias and more were just the perfect color palette.

Which would you choose?

Such a fun meet up in Central Park! We were treated to a luxury picnic and calligraphy lesson right by The Pond.

Thank you and for the incredible experience!

And yes, you can have a post wedding or elopement picnic in CP or another NYC park. Such a fun idea. (They do have rain plan options)

I fell in love with photography in the darkroom.

Watching an image slowly appear in developer trays felt like magic to me then — and honestly, it still does.

I learned photography through making my own silver gelatin prints by hand, obsessing over contrast, light, texture, and tone. That process shaped the way I see black & white images today.

Now my darkroom is digital, but the intention is still the same: creating photographs that feel timeless, tactile, and alive beyond a screen.

And for anyone who loves the craft as much as I do — silver gelatin prints are still available. Some images just belong on real paper.
