A New York love story, captured in its truest, most dynamic form.

Killeen & Patrick’s wedding at the New York Athletic Club was a breathtaking masterclass in modern Manhattan elegance. The entire day was a beautiful balance of cinematic scale and raw, heartfelt intimacy. We captured the grandeur of their traditional ceremony, the timeless editorial lines against classic city architecture, and that brilliant, unscripted energy that took over the moment the formalities ended.

From the quiet elegance of their church exit to the high-vibe, champagne-fueled celebrations with their inner circle, every chapter of this day felt alive. Blending a sharp digital aesthetic with a raw, nostalgic film vibe allows us to document a legacy exactly how it felt—undeniably sophisticated, completely effortless, and deeply personal. Swipe through the gallery to experience the full story of their day.

Some weddings leave a mark far beyond the day itself. Samantha & Ashok’s Indian-American celebration was one of those rare, meaningful unions where every detail — from culture to color, from emotion to elegance — came together in perfect harmony.
To see one of our photographs from this wedding featured in the print pages of the British Vogue July 2025 issue is a dream come true. (Please note: this feature was a paid advertorial placement showcasing our studio’s work in the magazine’s curated bridal campaign).
More than anything, having this image selected for print is a tribute to a couple who truly embodied what love looks like when it’s celebrated with intention, beauty, and soul. This wasn’t just a wedding — it was a visual symphony of traditions, families, and timeless style. A celebration I’ll never forget.

No cliché poses, no traditional rules. Just Larek & Max bringing pure rock-and-roll energy to a classic NYC black-tie wedding.
The Ned Nomad provided the perfect dim, moody backdrop for a celebration that was equal parts sophisticated and wild. We captured the sharp tailoring, the Prada details, the laughter, and the raw emotion exactly as it felt.
Focused command behind the lens for a couple that knows exactly who they are. 🕶️🔥

There is a distinct rhythm to a place like the Vanderbilt Museum—where the architecture and the shifting light become as much a part of the story as the couple itself. For Sydney and Patrick, the goal was to create a narrative that feels as timeless as the grounds: a blend of high-end editorial aesthetics and raw, cinematic storytelling.
My approach is centered on «Silent Luxury». It’s about stripping away the noise to focus on honest moments, captured through a signature blend of digital and film. It’s not just about taking photos; it’s about creating a visual legacy that feels effortless yet deeply intentional.
I am currently accepting inquiries for the 2027 wedding season. If you are looking for a photographer who values a cinematic, editorial perspective and a timeless digital/film vibe, I would love to hear your story.
