Stewart may not have been the one getting married, but he certainly made sure everyone knew his name.

Alexandra and Scott’s wedding at Hudson House was filled with personal touches, from custom cocktail toppers featuring their pup to a celebration that brought together an enthusiastic crowd of Penn State alumni.

And when it came time to party, the music was on another level. Between the violinist, saxophonist, drummer, and DJ Jason Jani, the dance floor didn’t stand a chance.

Alexandra and Scott, thank you for giving us a front-row seat to all the fun! From Stewart’s adorable cameo to watching your Penn State crew take over the dance floor with the NYC skyline as your backdrop, there was never a dull moment.

Congrats again and wishing you a million years of happiness!

For those unfamiliar, a traditional Chinese tea ceremony is usually reserved for family members, particularly parents, grandparents, and other elders. It’s a beautiful tradition that symbolizes respect, gratitude, and the joining of two families.

But Annie and Kevin decided to do things a little differently.

In addition to serving tea to their families, they invited ALL their guests to participate. And while that might not sound like a big deal, I thought it was incredibly meaningful. Instead of having their guests simply watch this tradition unfold, they made everyone a part of it.

And here’s the thing. Weddings are about bringing people together, and sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that make the biggest impression.

With fewer than 100 guests, gorgeous weather, and a beautiful blend of Western and Chinese traditions, their celebration felt intimate, personal, and genuinely special.

Annie and Kevin, thank you for inviting us to be a part of such a wonderful day. We loved celebrating with you and your families!

Carly couldn’t believe Jake was real. Jake, meanwhile, couldn’t believe he’d scored himself a baddie. His words, not mine. 😂

These two met online during COVID, back when meeting strangers from the internet was probably even more questionable than usual. Their first date? A duck pond. And apparently, Jake felt it was important to establish right from the start that he absolutely DID NOT kiss on the first date. Nothing says romance quite like ducks and a strict no-kissing policy. Somehow, he still got a second date.

Fast forward a few years, and these two were standing together at Indian Trail Club, sharing private vows before making it official in front of all their favorite people. Including Roxy, their six-year-old rescue pup, who served as flower girl, complete with her own dress. And yes, she took her responsibilities VERY seriously.

Not a cloud in the sky. Their favorite people all in one place. Their dog walking down the aisle. And Jake, who somehow managed to turn a duck pond date and a no-kissing policy into marrying the baddie of his dreams.

Well played, sir. Well played.

Congrats again, Carly & Jake! ❤️

I’m convinced that for every song in the universe, there’s probably a Filipino line dance for it. 😂

And Angelica and Joseph’s wedding at Edgewood Country Club did absolutely nothing to convince me otherwise.

But can we talk about the chocolate chip cookies at Edgewood Country Club Events for a second?

Because HOLY COW.

After photographing nearly 1,700 weddings, I’d like to think I know a thing or two about wedding food. And Edgewood’s soft-batch chocolate chip cookies? Absolutely ridiculous.

But let’s get back to the wedding, lol.

Angelica and Joseph, thank you for such a fun celebration surrounded by family and friends who clearly know how to party, and of course thank you for inviting me to be a part of it.

And Edgewood Country Club Events, it was an absolute pleasure finally photographing a wedding here.

I’ll definitely be back.

For the weddings, obviously.

But mostly the cookies. 🍪

What happens when a bookworm and a High School Musical superfan gets married? Meet Julia and Sean. 😂

These two have known each other since elementary school, but it took a global pandemic to turn friendship into romance. Remember COVID bubbles? Basically your MySpace Top 8, except you could ONLY hang out with those people. Lucky for Sean, Julia was in his bubble. Talk about playing the long game :).

Knowing Julia was a huge bookworm, Sean proposed at the Strand Bookstore in NYC. I mean, whatever it takes to guarantee his chances of getting a “yes”, amiright?

Julia even brought her favorite books to their wedding at Perona Farms, including Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros! Rebecca, your book made the official wedding photos!

Now, let’s talk about that cake cutting…

We literally had to DELAY IT because THREE High School Musical songs came on back to back, and Julia and her friends had more important business on the dance floor, obvs.

Zac Efron was unfortunately a no-show. But sorry Zac, Julia’s officially off the market anyway!

Congrats again Julia and Sean! Wishing you both a million years of happiness!

Photographing another wedding professional’s wedding is a different kind of pressure. Especially when that person has seen hundreds of photographers come through her doors and somehow decided that YOU were the one she wanted. No pressure, right? 😂

I’ve known Casey for years through her work at Liberty House . We’ve worked countless weddings together, and she’s sent so many wonderful couples my way. She’s never asked for anything in return, other than for me to take good care of them.

So when she got engaged and told me she’d be reaching out, I figured she was just being nice. You know how wedding people are. “When I get married, you’re going to be my photographer!” Sure, sure. I’ve heard THAT one before.

Except Casey actually meant it 😳.

Casey and Paul finally tied the knot on a Thursday (because wedding people don’t get weekends off) at The Farmhouse , and what a beautiful celebration it was.

If you know Casey, you know every detail was intentional. From the gorgeous decor to one of the most creative seating charts I’ve ever seen, featuring framed photos of their guests, her fingerprints were everywhere.

Their little guy even made his grand appearance in a wagon, their dogs showed up to surprise Paul, and there was a band, a DJ, and plenty of cookies. What more could you seriously ask for?

And Paul? Don’t let the rugged exterior fool you. The guy is a giant teddy bear. One of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

Now, there’s something nerve-wracking about photographing someone who knows how the sausage gets made. Casey got a peek behind the curtain, saw all the ridiculous things I do to make these photos happen, and thankfully, she still seemed to enjoy herself.

But my favorite part was celebrating someone who’s quietly supported my career for so many years.

Casey, thank you for trusting me with your clients all these years, and especially with your own wedding. It’s been an absolute pleasure knowing you as a colleague and now celebrating you as a friend.

Congrats, Casey and Paul! Wishing you both a million years of happiness.

About a week before their wedding, Brittany sent me her inspo boards; ones that involve cute props, three bottles of ch*****ne, and an airborne groom.

But here’s a tiny detail that was possibly overlooked: her future husband is built like an NFL linebacker.

And to give you an idea of the kinda guy we’re dealing with here, on wedding morning, while in full tux, our man of honor hits the hotel gym for dumbbell presses - because Thursday’s chest day, obvs.

And whether through hubris, sheer determination, or pure tomfoolery, possessed only by men who’ve been told something’s impossible, they managed to get this groom up in the air.

Like waaaaay up in the air, lol.

Color me impressed!

Not too bad for a Thursday wedding. Let’s do this again next Thursday, yeah?

Some couples want a wedding that looks like everyone else’s. Nina and Eli was not that couple.

From the beautiful ballet performance during their processional to all the DIY florals and personal touches throughout the day, everything about this wedding had Nina and Eli written all over it.

Towards the end of the night, I was literally packing up my cameras when a drag queen just showed up. I had no idea this was even on the schedule. But when a drag queen walks into the reception, you don’t go home. You put your cameras back on and get your ass back on the dance floor. 😂

Those extra minutes? Absolutely worth it.

The only casualty of the evening was a shattered UV filter on my 35mm lens. Thankfully, no cameras or lenses were harmed in the making of these photos.

I’ve photographed a LOT of weddings at Maritime Parc over the years, but I can confidently say I’ve never photographed one quite like this.

Nina and Eli, thank you for reminding me that the best weddings aren’t necessarily the ones that follow all the traditions. They’re the ones where you look around and think, “Yup. This is SO them.”

There’s a feline family member who won’t be able to make it to the wedding. So in its honor, there will be a drink waiting for esteemed guests at Colleen and Nick’s wedding - called the Meow-Scow Mule.

Yes I made it up. But it’s definitely happening. You heard it here first.

When the idea of shooting their engagement session at a popular Photo location, which featured gardens, fountains, and a castle, these two were all over it.

But when I told them I had a secret spot nearby, it was game on :). Congrats again Colleen and Nick, wait to share Meow-scow mules with you on your wedding day!

When the kids+dogs outnumber the adults, those are my favorite kinds of family sessions, lol.
