Whoa. If there’s one word to sum up the weddings and engagement sessions I photographed in 2019, that word would be: variety. From iconic city hotels to historic Long Island mansions, to City Hall and some delightful restaurants, from BK and NJ to Manhattan and Queens, and back again, I am *so* grateful to everyone who commissioned me to document their epic marriage celebrations this year. I hope you all enjoy this year-in-review of my personal favorite photographs.

Wedding photography is more than just a document of each individual celebration. I love that each year of my business (6-going-on-7!), I get to really see our commitment culture evolve, actually get to witness the meaning and evolution of partnership and marriage through the lens of each wedding. It is my forever honor to create for my clients the photos I hope they and their communities treasure in the weeks after their wedding or elopement, and well beyond. As an artist, it is also so incredibly humbling and awesome to be part of the larger context conversations, too: about marriage equality, about what it means to be a modern couple and have a modern partnership.

Getting married in NYC (or NJ, or on Long Island, or upstate!) really takes a strong collaborative effort, and I’m so lucky to have been part of some amazing teams this past year. If you’re looking for wedding venues + vendors who kick ass, you should definitely check out some of the amazing colleagues I got to spend my 2019 working alongside:
