Some of the best sessions happen when the plans fall apart 🎡

Aden’s been a friend of my husband and me since college, so when he and Maria asked me to photograph their engagement, we didn’t think twice. We packed the car and made the four-hour drive to Syracuse a few weeks later.

When our plan A for a sailboat session didn’t pan out, running around the New York State Fair became our plan B instead. Fairground lights, an overcast golden hour, and the hum of a state fair in late summer. Somewhere in the middle of it, tangled up on a carousel horse, laughing mid-kiss on the Ferris wheel, w**e slushies in hand, Aden and Maria got engagement photos that feel more like a really good night out than a photoshoot.

One month until Francesca and Alex celebrate the start of a new chapter! 💍

Five years of love, a fur baby named Daisy, and now a wedding celebration surrounded by the florals of Elizabeth Park.

Cannot wait to spend their wedding day documenting every candid, laughter-filled moment!

Probably the one and only solo horizontal image I’ll ever post, but can you blame me? This shot needed it’s own moment on the feed😍

Another beautiful moment from Nadia and Rob’s vow renewal in Glacier National Park, Montana!

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Niemiroski!

Julia and Tanner celebrated their wedding day under cloudy skies on the Connecticut coastline, surrounded by family, friends, and a whole lot of love (and happy tears).

From getting ready just down the road from where their story began, to their first dance to “Yellow” by Coldplay, every part of the day was full of heart.

And for the lady…perhaps a Hartford City Hall elopement?

Lynnai and Joseph chose an intimate ceremony with their closest family and friends surrounded by the beautiful architecture of Hartford City Hall. The kind of love that doesn’t need a crowd to feel like everything, just the people who’ve been there since the beginning, witnessing the next chapter start.

The Rubegas 🥂

Heather and Tyler’s wedding at St. Clements Castle was equal parts elegant and unforgettable. Sunset kisses by the fountain, lace and candlelight, and a reception dance floor that erupted the second “Time of My Life” came on. The crowd knew exactly what was coming, and Tyler and Heather delivered their own Baby-and-Johnny moment straight out of Dirty Dancing, hoisted into the air by their wedding party while everyone lost it.

Here’s to Heather and Tyler, married, celebrated, and absolutely nailing the lift!

The Navarras | 8.7.26 💍

Kaylee and Justin have never needed much to make a moment feel right, just each other. You could see it in every choice they made: a clean satin dress, a soft color palette with a pop of yellow, a day that leaned on warmth over spectacle.

But easygoing doesn’t mean unemotional. When they came back up the aisle as newlyweds, they surprised everyone with an iconic dip kiss that had the whole room cheering. That’s Kaylee and Justin in one motion: understated until the moment calls for something bigger.

Congratulations again to Mr. & Mrs. Navarra! 🥂

The best wedding photos don’t come from posing. They come from actually living the day.

I’m not going to spend your wedding day pulling you away for shot after shot. My job is to be there, quietly, so you can be fully in it. Dancing with your grandma, laughing at your best man’s toast, catching your partner’s eye across the room.

Because here’s the thing: you won’t remember every detail of your wedding day. But you’ll look at these photos years from now and feel it all over again, the nerves, the joy, the way it felt to marry your person. That’s what I’m actually there to capture.

You live it. I’ll document it, so you never lose the feeling of it.

Want a wedding day that feels like this? Head to the link in my bio to inquire for your date.
