Spring in France feels fleeting in the best way. Michelle and Jake arrived in Paris ahead of their Provence elopement this fall, and we spent the afternoon moving through the city, ending at the gardens of Château de Sceaux just as the cherry blossoms were making their final appearance of the season. Their connection and joy were infectious. It was a day I’ll never forget.
Thank you to the wonderful Coco and her team for bringing us together. There is still so much more to share from this day, from the intimacy of their hotel to the château gardens that felt lifted straight from an Antonioni film..

A first look is where the day slows down for a minute. Just Lia and Kevin seeing each other before everything picks back up again.

Kiran and Shiv’s Baraat moving through Boston like it already knew the route. Horns, steps, sidewalks filling in behind them, a city block that stopped being a city block for a little while.

Excited to share that my couple Taryn and Valentine’s stunning wedding at Jay Estate has been featured in ! 💐

The estate has a quiet, open elegance with wide landscapes and soft natural light that does most of the work for you. Everything feels naturally composed, with a timeless backdrop that lets the imagery breathe.

Featured in print in the Weddings section of Southampton Press, with a multi-page editorial following Lauren & Anthony’s celebration along the Peconic Bay.
A wedding on the water is always a dream to document. The light shifts constantly, wildlife makes its way through, and the atmosphere carries a sense of openness. Their day unfolded just that way, from the ceremony on the lawn to a dance floor that carried late into the night.
Grateful to see their wedding story documented in print.

A few moments shaped by women across the wedding world. From designers debuting new gowns to friends, sisters, mothers and guests sharing in the celebration. These are always some of my favorite moments to photograph.
Happy International Women’s Day.

Preparing for a wedding day inside a home changes the rhythm of the day in a most beautiful way. Architecture, light, gardens and more intimate connections have a different and more personal pace. The entire house hums with anticipation and for Megan and Owen this home set the tone for the ceremony and reception that followed.
