Stories by Victoria Greetings from somewhere–

I’m Victoria. I was born in Queens, and raised with love. There is no place like it and that’s why it’s home. Stay with me.

I grew up a family dependent, travel obsessed, adventure seeking, fun loving, life living, unapologetic Queen from Queens. This blog is a journey through the ups and downs of travel, life in New York, lessons in friendship, family, and going in search of your dreams. If that doesn’t do it for you, then follow me for a good opportunity to crack open a bottle of wine and project some hard core judgi

ng. I promise I will make you feel a lot better about your own life. I hope to inspire you to have fun and have courage in search of love and happiness in whatever form that might be, and to occasionally laugh at yourself. From Queens with Love,

A & S were looking for a high fashion vibe for their intimate wedding in NYC. Thankfully they called who called yours truly and together with our Bride, we curated a stylish stream of moments and looks for a high fashion yet fun Friday afternoon.

Starting at and ending with a private dinner at we captured the style with the sweet moments for a perfect balance every couple dreams for.

Sweet Stories: the couple from Virginia chose a NYC wedding for their guests to have a metropolitan weekend of shopping and fun before heading home to their sleepy town of 600 people. I told them they could visit me anytime at my even-sleepier village of 300.

Is there a new wave of cool humans living in peace and playing in cities? I think I’ve found my community. ❤️

This year, I’m grateful for every couple who trusted me to tell their story. For every quiet moment, every burst of laughter, every tear of joy. For the honor of creating the photos you’ll hold close for the rest of your lives. 🤍

Getting married myself this year changed everything for me. Standing on the other side of the lens, feeling the weight and wonder of the day, made me see every wedding before and after mine with a new kind of empathy and depth. I understood your nerves, your joy, the little moments that don’t look big but feel life-changing.

Marriage is so beautiful. It’s tender, it’s wild, it’s sacred. And getting to celebrate it with you: witnessing your love and preserving the moments you’ll revisit for decades, is something I don’t take lightly.

I’m endlessly grateful that this is my work and my world. Here’s to every story we told this year, and to all the magic still ahead. 🤍✨

This was a scorcher in temp and in vibes. A & E are as in love as they can come. Details are important but when it comes to the photos you frame it’s really all about your portraits and you want photos that will live and feel like forever. No dated styling, no over posed movements and for the love of god no bad editing. True to color, natural, flattering photography wedding portraits, taken with candor and care are what I deliver. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Ithaca with a style you find in NYC, please inquire.

Welcome back, world — I’ve resurfaced from a five-month creative cocoon!

I’m Victoria — photographer, storyteller, and now, bride-to-be. This year marks seven seasons behind the lens, capturing unforgettable love stories… and for the first time ever, I’m also living one of my own.

Planning my wedding has been wildly beautiful, hilariously humbling, and a whole new kind of emotional. I’m excited to start sharing more of that journey — the real, the romantic, and the ridiculous — from the dual perspective of bride and photographer.

Big things are coming this year: I’m officially booking for 2026, dreaming up a fresh rebrand, and building a brand-new online home. Can’t wait to bring you along for all of it.

Entering the final stretch of wedding season with 7 more beautiful celebrations to capture, ending on a high note this Halloween weekend!

I am so grateful for the incredible couples and unforgettable moments that filled this season with joy. While I’m savoring every last bit of fall, I’m also looking forward to some cozy downtime and extra snuggles with my fur babies. 🧡🍂

The golden hour of our dreams happened last night during our meadow walk engagement session in Ithaca.

A & E have 3 beautiful, silly, smart, and funny fur babies who added a touch of home to their engagement session.

Who knew walking your dogs could be this gorgeous?

Anna and Will’s love story took center stage at Stone Hill Barn in Accord, NY, on a perfect September Friday. Anna stunned in her unique, dreamy pink dress that felt like a fairytale come to life, while Will looked sharp and smitten by her side.

The charm of this gorgeous venue was matched only by the love that filled every corner — from the lush green backdrop to the beautiful details that made the day unforgettable. The food was phenomenal, the drinks flowed, and every laugh, tear, and toast was filled with pure joy.

What a weekend for Stevie and Chris! Their wedding was nothing short of spectacular, rain or shine! Friday’s downpour? No problem! These two lovebirds made a splash, literally, by heading straight to the pond, proving that a little rain only adds to the adventure.

Saturday turned up the magic with stunning details and a crowd that brought the FUN in capital letters! Everything about their day was gorgeous, bursting with joy and perfectly them. From heartfelt laughs to dancing under the stars, it was a celebration of love that we’re all still smiling about.

Here’s to forever, Stevie and Chris—your love brightens even the rainiest days! 🍾❤️

If I ever get the privilege to shoot a wedding for one of my favorite comedians I would be in HEAVEN. This came pretty close. Kristen and Beau threw a beautiful, fun, and silly wedding weekend and I mean that in the best way. I don’t know how you get so many funny people in one room but they did it. Everyone was a riot. Every speech, every story, every move on the dance floor, including creating a heart with arms during the first dance to The Promise by When in Rome. Topped with the GORGEOUS details wowowowow. I cannot tell you how much fun [and how beautiful] this weekend was but hopefully these pictures can.

I don’t think you need a caption but I’ll say this: was one of the first venues I ever shot at 5 years ago. It has gotten even more beautiful throughout the years. Yesterday’s wedding was to die for and tbh the dad first look was my favorite part [not pictured]. Dads that make their daughters feel like little girls >>>>>>>.

This won’t be the last you see of Kate and Frankie 🤍
