Amy & Jenn | Bear Mountain Inn | Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer
You may remember Amy and Jenn from their super fun Philly engagement session earlier this summer. The pair headed up to the Bear Mountain Inn in the Hudson Valley for their wedding this past September and had an absolutely beautiful day! I loved everything about working with both Amy and Jenn, these are two of the sweetest, most fun girls you’ll have the chance to meet. From a gorgeous green scenery , a fabulous wedding party, heartfelt vows, to a crazy dance party, this was one awesome day!
A huge thanks also goes out to my second shooter, Lindsay for being all around fantastic!
We started the day with Jenn and Amy at their hotel for a few getting ready shots.
Off to Bear Mountain for a first look!
I would say Amy’s pretty excited, wouldn’t you?
You know what’s awesome? Two brides happy to hike in the woods in their wedding dresses for beautiful photos.
Lindsay’s view above!
Their ceremony was held on the back deck of the Inn. I loved the sign they displayed before the aisle.
Married!
I love recession shots! So much happiness!
On to the reception, these girls threw one heck of a party! I haven’t seen that much awesome dancing in a long time! 
Jenn also gave a surprise guitar performance! Please note her amazing rainbow shoes as well.
Amy & Jenn, I wish you two many years of happiness! Congratulations and thank you SO much for having me!

Elizabeth & Blake: Sneak Peek! | Central Park Arsenal | NYC Wedding Photographer
This was one crazy wedding weekend! On Saturday, I had the pleasure of working with Beth and Blake in Central Park. These two were fabulous and they had the absolute perfect day for a rooftop park wedding. Yes, you heard correctly. Married on a rooftop with skyline views at sunset in Central Park? Yes, please. More to come!
Congratulations!

Kelly & Ian | Vermont Wedding Photographer | West Monitor Barn
Kelly and Ian were my last wedding of the season in Vermont, a few weeks before I moved back to NYC. (Side note: Vermont couples, I’m still willing and happy to head back north! ) I could not have asked for a better send off. Kelly and Ian were wonderful: super fun and laid back, and happy to tromp all over the farm to make loads of gorgeous photos!
These two came up to the mountains from North Carolina and had a beautiful wedding at one of my new favorite venues, the West Monitor Barn in Richmond, VT. As giving back to the community has always been a part of my business, working with venues that promote the same ideals is always a treat.
From their website: “All proceeds from renting the West Monitor Barn go towards funding Vermont Youth Conservation Corps (VYCC) programs, which employ over 300 young people to work on high-priority conservation and education projects across the state of Vermont each year.” How great is that?
Kelly’s beautiful fresh flowers!
We started off with a first look, one of my favorite ways to kick off photo taking. Then we were off to wander the farm on this lovely sunny day!
Big red barns and lovely couples = a happy photographer.
As I’m writing this post having already moved back to the city, seeing these lovely mountain views again makes me already ancy to get back in the fresh air!
Why yes, we did play in the tomato plants.
Then it was time for the ceremony, on the back lawn with the mountains as a back drop. Kelly and Ian wrote their own vows and were married by their brothers, you can’t ask for more then that. Beautiful.
So happy!
After the ceremony, it was time for lawn games for all before the reception in the barn.
In lieu of a traditional wedding cake, they had Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cake! Yep, it was the BEST!
Right at sunset, Kelly and Ian let me steal them for a few more quick photos, some of my favorite images of the night. Golden hour with a moon rise? Yes, please.
Kelly and Ian, thank you so very much for having me, you guys were fantastic.
Best wishes to you both! Congratulations!

Lisa & Christa | NYC Elopement Photographer | The London Hotel: Atrium Suite
Lisa and Christa came up from Florida, along with their son, to get hitched in NYC on their 10 year anniversary! The lovely Kimberly Worley performed a beautiful ceremony right at sunset in the Atrium Suite of the London Hotel. For portraits we kept things simple and just took a walk right around the block.
They are the second couple recently to have their cake from Momofuko Milk Bar. You guys, these cakes? RULE. So much delicious.
Not too shabby of a view!
I wanted to get a few more shots back at the hotel, and make sure Lisa showed off her awesome ink! She had their anniversary date added to her sleeve, how cool is that?
They made all their own flowers arrangements.
A few moments before the ceremony.
Time to get married, you can’t go wrong with sunset!
Congratulations Lisa and Christa! Cheers to many years of beautiful views!

Amanda & Debra | Central Park Elopement Photography | Elope in NYC
I had a such a great morning with these two ladies from Texas!
Amanda and Debra were married on a sunny summer day in Central Park. They picked out a lovely spot on the pond for their ceremony, exchanging their vows as with their parents as their guests.
They also did a sand ceremony, something I see a lot for larger weddings, but not usually doing smaller elopements.
Their officiant made them a sign and brought bubbles! How cute is that?
After the ceremony we wandered Central Park a bit for more photos, can’t go wrong with the Gapstow Bridge as a backdrop!
After the park, they wanted a few more urban photos, so we headed out into the city, catching the subway, and then finished things up a Grand Central.
Congratulations Amanda & Debra! Best wishes to you both!
Krina & Prat | NYC Elopement Photographer | Shakespeare Garden | Tribeca
After meeting with Krina and Prat a few months before their wedding, I knew it was going to be awesome. While they are having a big, more traditional Indian wedding next spring, they wanted something small that could be just for them this summer, hence the elopement. Krina said they were looking for colorful and fun, two things I always LOVE to hear and knew would make fabulous photos!
They were married on a beautiful summer evening a few weeks ago in the Shakespeare Garden in Central Park by the wonderful Lawrence Greco (my second wedding by a Buddhist Monk!) surrounded by their parents and sisters. It was a beautiful ceremony with both Krina and Prat writing their own vows. I love how expressive these two are, their faces during the ceremony were great!
Hurray!
After the ceremony, we wandered through the garden and Central Park taking all sorts of fun photos. These two are complete goof balls and had no problem hamming it up. I’m pretty sure we were laughing the whole time!
After Central Park, we grabbed a cab down to Tribeca where they were meeting their family later for dinner.
Krina and Prat immediately asked for a stop at the Balloon Saloon for some monkeying around, which I am always happy to oblige. This place is super fun!
Superman to rescue the damsel in distress!
A ceremony by Batman? We can do that.
Then on to explore the neighborhood. I love when couples are willing to just wander the streets and go for it. This area has so many cool little spots and fantastic architecture.
I LOVE cool doorways, and bright colors? Double win.
Krina and Prat, you guys rock. I had a fantastic time. Thanks SO much for having me and I wish you two the very best, Congratulations!

Amy & Jenn | Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | South Street | Philadelphia Museum of Art
A few weeks ago I grabbed a Bolt Bus down to Philly to meet up with Amy and Jenn for their engagement shoot. I had an absolutely ball with these two girls! I had never been to Philadelphia before, so they gave me the grand tour, we had a great time wandering around the Museum of Art grounds, downtown, South Street and even checking out the view from an apartment rooftop!
Thanks so much for a fantastic evening ladies, see you soon for the wedding!
From there we went downtown. Amy requested a shot on this city block, I was happy to oblige.
Love this beautiful evening light!
Then we went to South Street, this super awesome artsy neighborhood in Philly. I could shoot here all day!
Jenn said she was not going to do sassy for photos. So I said, how about Superhero? That, she was down with. I can’t help but laugh every time I see these shots. So fun.
From South Street, we walked to Amy’s sister’s apartment, which happened to have a fabulous roof top deck! Perfect ending to a great evening.
Happy engagement ladies! I’m SO excited for your wedding in September!

Karen & Moe | NY City Hall Wedding Photographer | NYC Elopement Photography
Karen and Moe came down from Canada a few weeks ago to get hitched at City Hall. I had a fantastic time with them both. These two are clearly very much in love and it was a wonderful day to wander through the city snapping all sorts of fun photos!
City Hall was crazy that Friday, so we snuck outside for a few photos while we waited for their number to be called.
These guys were pretty excited to be married. Couples like Karen and Moe are why I adore shooting elopements.
Married, hurrah! High fives all around!
From there we wandered a bit through Tribeca, and then jumped on the train across the river to Brooklyn Heights.
The new bridge they’ve put in to the park down from the promenade is awesome for photos with the skyline and some green space.
I love how green the Brooklyn Bridge Park is!
We finished off the evening with a trip back into Manhattan up to the NY Public Library.
Karen and Moe, thanks so much for having me! Congratulations to you both!
