Avrielle & Alex

New York City Public Library

Fashion forward, and oh so chic, Avrielle and Alex are the cool ones. But more than being effortlessly cool and chic, they are the most wonderful humans you will ever meet and treat everyone they come in contact with as friends. Having been together for a decade, it was meant to be that Alex dropped to one knee in the city of New York that they both love to ask for her hand in marriage, and it was the easiest yes she ever gave.

CAROLINE & ANTOINE

Paris, France

(tap image to advance)

It was through the winding, weaving alleyways in the city of love that Caroline and Antoine found each other and fell in love. And so it was that it felt appropriate to do their session upon the iconic grounds of The Louvre and Palais Royale, hand in hand, laughing and catching the glimmer in each others eye - just as it always has been, and just as it always will be...

ANGELIQUE & JOSH

Bethesda Terrace, New York City

(tap image to advance)

Serendipitous was their love and their meeting - a match made in heaven, quite literally. Angelique and Josh met online but their first date was attending church together, as their faith is the center of their relationship. Their affection and love for one another is palpable and, together, they are as kind as they are lovely.

Jacqueline & Tim

Newport, Rhode Island

(tap image to advance)

If love were a seasonal aesthetic, it would be Summer. With it’s warm, salty breeze blowing in off the coast, all enveloping, finishing off with a kiss of the sun on rosy red cheeks, it feels like the most romantic of all seasons. Accordingly, Jacqueline and Tim decided to have their engagement session in the season that they had grown to love so much, engaging in an activity that watched their love for one another grow. They are to be married in the Autumn, at the New York yacht club, but it felt fitting to do their engagement session during the summer months where they could take the family boat out on the sea and toast to a forever love.

caitRyn & Jared

Private Beach

After what felt like a million bad dates, Caitryn decided to give online dating one last try. When she met jared for the first time he was wearing capri pants and multi colored bright sneakers and, probably somewhere in her head, she thought "Here we go again". Except this time was different. He immediately put her at ease and they sent the whole night laughing and talking. As they say, the rest is history.

Christina & Paul

Newport, Rhode Island

(tap image to advance)

Walking the campus of her alma mater, Salve Regina, had Christina nostalgic. She thought about the days she spent on that beautiful campus, dreaming of her life and what would come of it. She dreamt of her would-be wedding and would-be husband who she hadn't met yet, but knew he was out there. So it was that for their engagement session, Christina and Paul decided to head back to the beautiful campus of Salve Regina, and to walk the streets where they had walked so many times, hand in hand, realizing that this love was a forever kind of love. She had a peaceful smile on her face, knowing that he was worth the wait and that every one of her college-days dreams were finally coming true.

To know Bekah and Andrew is to love them - as evidenced by their large bridal party who was fun, full of laughs and jokes, and who all knew how to have a good time. One thing was for sure - Bekah and Andrew both know how to show up and throw a stellar, memorable party. Their event spanned over the course of two days and included the most stunning florals, the very best details, the most chic outfits (and shoes!) iv'e ever seen, and absolutely jaw dropping mouth watering food. Their ceremony, held on the rooftop of the Allegria Hotel in long island provided a stunning view to all the guests in attendance, as they promised forever to each other over looking the sky blue ocean waters of long island. after the ceremony, the guests were escorted inside to party the night away, only to come back the following evening and continue the party.

Maya & Matt

Blue Hill at Stone Barns, New York

(tap image to advance)

Rooted in tradition, covered in love from both sides of their families, Maya and Matt had the most beautiful start to their marriage after numerous pandemic postponements. Their wedding was colorful, full of life, and full to the brim with smiles and laughter. For many of the people in attendance, it was the first time gathering together in over a year, and such an occasion deserved to be met with incredible celebration. 

Matt and maya combined traditions and customs from both sides of their family and heritage, including Matt entering the venue on a horse for the barrat to the sound of booming music and a dancing, happy crowd. The barrat, among other things was almost canceled due to inclement weather but, alas, right at the appropriate time the skies opened up and the sun shone down on him as he made his way toward his bride. The afternoon continued with a traditional Indian ceremony and a cocktail hour packed with incredible delights from the catering team at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Their guests danced the night away in one of the upper rooms, toasting to matt and maya's future and to happier times for all.

danielle & Mike

Wadsworth Mansion, Connecticut

There is nothing more beautiful and raw than choosing to honor the legacy of family on the most important day of your life. Danielle and Mike are a perfect example of combining traditions to create & embody an exquisite picture of love, legacy and unity. On her wedding day the classic and timeless bride Danielle donned a red and gold traditional Chinese dress before stepping into her ivory ball gown. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as her grandmother clasped a series of heirloom necklaces around the collar of her dress. She was an image of her ancestors before her; a representation of elegance and grace. Danielle and Mike’s testament to their roots was a symbol of their honor & love for their legacy. As they became man & wife their loyalty to one another was evident. One chapter of each of their stories may be closed, but as they embark on a new one together, they make two worlds one.

christina & Paul

Abbazia San Pietro In Valle, Italy

When faced with the options for their wedding, Christina and Paul wanted noting more than to marry under the Tuscan sun, but family and friends pressured them to get married back home. Months into the planning process, and realizing the big wedding wasn’t for them, they decided to start their marriage in the way that fit them best - in Italy, sipping on Aperol spritz’s, eating truffle ravioli, and watching that Italian sun set every evening for a couple weeks. Their wedding was nothing short of magical, set high in the hills of Umbria, at an old Abazzia.

Mary & WIlliam

Central Park Tavern on the Green, New York City

(tap image to advance)

What better place to get married and hold your wedding than the middle of Central Park for a quintessentially chic and modern NYC couple. Mary and William met in this concrete jungle where dreams are made of and decided to promise forever to each other beneath the shadow of high rise buildings and surrounded by one of the most famous parks in America. Planned by the wonderfully talented Meena DiPasquale of 5th Avenue Weddings and Events, who with her team transformed the Tavern on the Green and built a custom riser for their ceremony, Mary and William's colorful wedding was what New York dreams are made of. As the sun set over Central Park and their last song played, they danced to their hearts content along with their friends and family.

Emily & Adam

Lord Thompson Manor, Connecticut

(tap image to advance)

It was a beautiful autumn day - one that was unseasonably warm and bright - as Emily and Adam prepared to take their vows. Set at the timeless and classic Lord Thompson manor, which reminds anyone who visits of a quaint french chateau, emily and adam could not have asked for a more perfect day in the month of november. The sun shone brightly as their did their first look and, much to the amazement of everyone in attendance, the weather was a tolerable 50 degrees when typically at this time of year it would be closer to 30. One of the more memorable parts of the day was during their ceremony, right as they began their vows, when the thunder rolled in over head and began booming. We all knew that time was running out, but the rain held off for their ceremony. As soon as the ceremony was done, the guests made their way to the balcony area for toasts, and right after emily's sister began her speech, the skies decided they could no longer hold out and everyone began laughing as they rushed inside to get away from the fat raindrops that had begun to fall. Emily and adam's autumn wedding day was perfect in every possible way.

FIne Art Travel Prints

One of my greatest joys is to travel the world and photograph the places I visit on medium format film. On more than one occasion, I have left my digital camera home and brought only film cameras with me. There is something about pausing and taking the time to carefully frame a photo, and then wait in suspense upon returning home for those film scans.

I have made some of my favorite images available for purchase in my print shop so that you, too, can be reminded of some of the most iconic, exotic, and serene places our world has to offer.
