60 Soho Wedding | NYC Rooftop Wedding Venue | Eliza & Murray

September 7, 2018

What a brilliant evening! Eliza and Murray came from the UK with their families to elope in New York. They knew they wanted an iconic view and were looking for a spot for a private ceremony. Enter the 60 Soho. I often tell clients that finding a hotel room with a terrace can be a great option for this, and Eliza and Murray found the most incredible one! Having a 60 SoHo wedding was the perfect option for these two and it worked wonderfully. The weather was threatening rain, and in fact did rain a bit just before the ceremony. However, it cleared up just in time and Eliza and Murray were able to be married with a view of the Empire State Building right at sunset.

After the lights went down, they signed their license and then we went back up to the balcony for some more photos with the twinkling skyline in the background. Pure magic.

Congratulations to you both! I hope you have an amazing time in New York! NY Times Ring Photo P I N I T

Queens Elopement Photographer | Forest Park | Heather & Melissa

August 26, 2018

Melissa and Heather got married last week in Queens, New York. They had a tiny ceremony at the Queens Marriage Bureau and then afterwards wanted to meet up for photos at their neighborhood park, Forest Park. They were especially fond of the Forest Park Carousel, so we made sure to get some fun photos there as well as around the ground of the park. There was even a brightly colored rainbow wall that made for the perfect backdrop!

After photos, these two headed off for some tasty pizza, the perfect way to celebrate their low key day.

Congratulations Heather and Melissa! It was great to meet you both!

Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center Wedding | Summer Camp Wedding | Jonathan & Hannah

August 24, 2018

My second wedding of last weekend was just as awesome as the first. The summer camp wedding of Jonathan and Hannah in rural Connecticut was one of the most energy filled celebrations I’ve seen. This is the third wedding I’ve photographed at the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center and I love this venue more then ever. It’s such a special place and the weddings here are amazing.

The vibe of a summer camp wedding is always fun and Jonathan and Hannah’s was no different. My second shooter and I are started the morning bright and early with Jonathan and Hannah getting ready and then joined up with their families for a first look. Afterwards we headed out all over the camp for some beautiful portraits. These two are such an incredible couple and they made my job easy.

Once we got through photos it was time for the tisch, which being the egalitarian folks they are, both Hannah and Jonathan gave. I just have to stop for a second here to acknowledge the energy of this community Jonathan and Hannah have surrounded themselves with. It was through the roof! Guys, this was an ENTHUSIASTIC crowd to the max. It was so much fun for photos and the joy in the room was overflowing. As to be expected, after tying the knot on the lake, this crowd brought down the house with a hora and schtick to end them all.

Jonathan and Hannah, thank you for having such an awesome wedding! It was so much fun to be a part of and document. Congratulations and best wishes to you both!!

The Bates House | Long Island Wedding Photographer | Katie & Dani

August 22, 2018

This weekend was a double header of awesome. The first celebration was the Long Island wedding of Katie and Dani. I knew I would be excited to work with them from our first phone call when one of their important questions for me was which Harry Potter house I would be in. They are also both teachers, doing their best to make the world a better place. Katie and Dani even wrote individual gratitude cards for each and every guest. These are two amazing people.

I started the day with Katie at her and Dani’s home right on the Long Island Sound. I love doing getting ready photos at home, it feels so intimate and there are so many personal touches you could never find in a random hotel room. Afterwards I headed over to the The Bates House, to meet Dani for some more getting ready shots. The Bates House was Katie and Dani’s Long Island wedding venue and was such a cool space. It’s a former private residence on the grounds of the Frank Melville Park, a beautiful wooded area complete with a red barn that’s great for photos.

Once everyone was ready to go we headed out into the park for a first look and portraits. You guys, the joy and laughter in this day? It filled up my heart to the brim. Katie and Dani were giggling the whole time. The love these two have together was wonderful to photograph. Also, for the record, you see these happy portraits? These are from two people who said they were super camera shy. For everyone who claims this excuse and thinks they can’t take good photos, I call your bluff! These two were perfection in front of the camera.

The day had been threatening rain all afternoon, and we made it exactly to the start of the ceremony before things got interesting. At the exact moment Katie and Dani entered the gazebo the loudest thunder boom ever cracked from the sky. To prove how laid back these two are, you can see their reaction… more laughter. After tying the knot amid a downpour, everyone scurried back into the house for a dance party reception!

Katie and Dani, I can’t thank you enough for inviting me to be a part of your day. You guys are awesome and I had so much fun. Congratulations and best wishes to you both!

Riverside Park Engagement Photos | Hannah & Jonathan

August 15, 2018

Hannah and Jonathan are getting married this weekend! I’m so excited to be a part of their celebration. Before the big day, I got to hang out with them to take some Riverside Park engagement photos. I love when couples chose a place for their engagement photos that’s special to them. Hannah and Jonathan live close to Riverside Park and have been spending lots of time there, so thought it would be a great spot for their photos. I can’t agree more. I love Central Park, but this slice of green along the Hudson River is such a lovely spot. We opted for just before sunset and the light cooperated wonderfully.

This engagement session got rained out for our first attempt back in July, and very nearly got rained out yesterday. However, the weather ended up working out and even allowing for some fun reflection puddles to play with. I had so much fun with these two and am thrilled to document their wedding in a few short days!

Congratulations Hannah and Jonathan, I look forward to seeing you again this weekend!
