My style of photography is artistic + documentary. I shoot both digital and 35mm film, with 35mm film being what I mainly showcase on my website.

I would consider my work a little raw, but also editorial in quality, often attracting couples who are alternative, artistic, and want wedding photos that feel unique.

I have been a fine art photographer for over 20 years now and always bring that passion into the work I do. Like I always say, there is no one recipe that works for everyone. My work is personal, meaningful, centered around human connection, and loving all of our differences.

Also, I want to put some clickbait here: “anti-bride” gets thrown around a lot, but anti-bride doesn’t mean different or unique. It has actually become its own genre of very trendy, good-looking wealthy couples, and after a few years of being online, they also perpetuate that sameness that isn’t fair to the nuance and diversity within us all.

I'd love to coin a new term that isn't about being anti anything, but about being a lover of reality and imperfection :) Im not sure what it would be called, but I toy around with the idea of creating my own wedding blog or podcast, all about this weird anti bride culture, thats all BS. 

Yes, I currently specialize in elopements and intimate weddings with guest counts under 150. However, I take on a very select number of larger weddings each year if the energy feels aligned to do so. Please don't hesitate to reach out, we may be the perfect fit . 

I offer all potential clients a complementary intro call,  via Google Meet, Zoom, or phone. This is a chance for us to get to know each other and see if it feels like a good connection.

If we decide to work together, we move forward with a standard contract that protects both of us legally. A 30% non refundable booking fee is required to reserve your date. This fee secures your wedding day and covers the cost of turning away other work.

Through out the year I am available for support as needed, as we get 60 days out we begin to work on timelines and shot lists. 

Oh pricing :) another element of this industry that remains illusory and maybe even delusional at times my pricing is somewhere in the middle. 

My elopement's start at 2k and intimate weddings at 5k. More info about wedding pricing see my blog here 

While I don't directly offer these services I have put together a solid trusted vendor list I refer folks to. If interested I can send over these options. 

While the goal is to be as authentic and true to real life as possible, we all need some level of guidance and validation to create strong images. I typically ask couples to think about how they really are when no one’s watching. How do you sit with each other at home? How do you walk down the street? Are you openly affectionate, or more reserved? I use that natural, unique dynamic to guide how we shoot and work together.

I also think it’s important to validate, compliment, and encourage people. There’s definitely a performative aspect to photography, but a truly documentary approach means recreating real life and genuine human behavior not pretending to be someone else for photos.

I believe life is beautiful as it is. I intentionally keep things simple and straightforward to honor that, avoiding the clichés that are common in the industry. My direction is minimal: looking at each other, holding hands, walking toward or away from me, standing in sunlight for a classic portrait, or using reflected light as it moves across a wall.

I’m inspired by street photography from the ’80s and ’90s, and I enjoy catching people while they talk, shift, and move naturally.

Family portraits are set up with a specific goal, to bring people together and ensure all requested groupings are photographed with the best backdrop available. As a documentary-style portrait photographer, I approach this process in an intentional and thoughtful way that feels less stagnant than traditional family portraiture. Sometimes I come in close while people are sill talking and take photos of family members as the staged photo unravels, capturing the natural cadence of family interactions. 

For my purposes, I work best with a very minimal, skeletal shot list, and yes, I help create this. I also help with ideas for portrait sessions and selecting backdrops for all set-up and posed photographs. Timelines typically include my arrival time, ceremony, family portraits, couple portraits, reception, dinner, and dancing. If you choose to work with an extensive shot list, I strongly recommend hiring a wedding planner or designating a trusted friend to help coordinate. At this stage in my career, my focus is on creating truly thoughtful and creative imagery, and that requires a degree of freedom. Overly detailed lists and rigid timelines can sometimes be limiting and realistically are often not followed the day of. 

In the event that I am unable to perform due to illness or an unforeseen emergency, I will arrange for a qualified backup photographer. I am part of a large photography network in NYC and Northern Pennsylvania, which allows me access to trusted professionals when needed. I will remain involved in the process and handle the editing and delivery of your final gallery. If a suitable replacement cannot be secured, a full refund will be issued. For weddings with over 150 guests, I strongly encourage adding a second photographer to ensure fuller coverage and an additional layer of backup.

Zelle is my primary method of payment. I also accept CashApp and PayPal. Cash is accepted for final payments only.

Yes, I carry standard liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance to venues upon request.

Yes. Please inquire and I am happy to share full galleries.

35mm film is the original photographic medium for both still and motion imagery. As digital photography became dominant, much of this format was left behind. Film offers a depth, texture, and quality that is difficult to replicate digitally. Each image has a distinct and tangible presence. It lives in a three dimensional world.

Much like our own minds and the way we remember our lives, imperfect and tangential, 35mm film is similar. It holds nuance and a quiet kind of magic. I believe it feels closer to the human imagination than digital, and within that, there is a familiarity we are naturally drawn to.

35mm film is also, quite literally, a different camera system. I carry a few with me at each wedding, including my 35mm manual camera, my Kodak half frame, and my Yashica T4. I also have a few other heavy hitters, including a Bronica medium format camera. I have fallen deeply in love with this form of photography. It does not compare to digital. They are almost different mediums, even though they are doing the same thing in effect.

Another main difference is cost. Film rolls are expensive to purchase and develop, and the process is far more time consuming. It requires a different skill level and a higher level of attention to detail from your photographer.

Yes. As a mother of two, I have a deep appreciation for maternity and family photography. These sessions are documentary in nature and shot on 35mm film and digital. Full galleries are available here.
