WhO I AM
I’m a New York wedding photographer who tells stories in documentary form. But more than that, I’m a wife, boy-mom and a California girl who, despite a penchant for windswept hair and surfer slang, has happily made her home in the New York City area for the past 20+ years. I like corgi videos as a pick-me-up, sushi as an anytime-food and use travel as the measure of a life well-lived. Also, I really, really like weddings.
My own wedding was (of course) an elopement. I met a guy, we fell in love and he moved cross-country to give it a go. We had an early morning wedding on the front steps of the New York Public Library with an audience of seven friends, our dog and a Zoom livestream, then headed to bottomless brunch in the West Village. It. Was. Perfect. Those photographs and Zoom recording are still some of my favorite things. And now we’ve made a sweet little life for ourselves across the river with our little boy, Varick.
Testimonials
“We were able to be present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day because Jocelyn made it easy.
Not only is Jocelyn enormously talented, but her positive and calming energy was such a pleasure to be around. Jocelyn, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for listening and fulfilling every promise!”
JULIA & AUSTIN
“Jocelyn has an incredible gift in capturing genuine and authentic moments.
The time spent getting to know us and creativity in designing the perfect day is a real testament for Jocelyn’s passion for what she does. Not only are her photos STUNNING, she made the process really fun and we loved hanging out with her! As soon as I saw her website I knew this was the photographer for us. 10/10!!!”

HOW THIS WORKS
I’m aware that having a big camera lens pointed in your face is not natural. I’m aware that planning a wedding, no matter how small, is not effortless. I’m aware that researching locations, sifting through vendors’ profiles and dealing with permitting is not anyone’s idea of a good time.
And that’s where I step in: I’m your planner, your day-of-coordinator, your photographer and overall hype-woman, all in one. I am here to take care of the nitty-gritty so you can focus on the good stuff.
ZOOM ONE-ON-ONE
The first step is to reach out and schedule our initial Zoom one-on-one. I aim to do a little more heavy-lifting with the planning so you can fully relax and enjoy the day-of. On our video call, we’ll collaborate on vibe, aesthetic, logistics and everything in between. Once we’ve got the vision mapped out, I’ll put together a suggested itinerary for you to sign off on.
BOOKING YOUR PACKAGE & ADD-ONS
After we’ve finalized what we’re doing and where we’re going, we can appropriately match you with the right package, booking only the hours you know you’ll need.
For a truly stress-free experience, you can also add on additional services like hair & makeup, flowers, videography, a Zoom livestream, wedding albums and more. I will act as point-person so you don’t have to juggle multiple vendors.
I’ll send out a contract to make it official. A 50% retainer is also due at this time (the remaning 50% will be due 30 days out from the event).
PLAN YOUR CEREMONY WITH YOUR OFFICIANT
If you’re eloping anywhere outside City Hall, I’ll then connect you with your NYC officiant to create a personalized ceremony that feels right. They will also send all necessary paperwork back to the Marriage Bureau after the ceremony so your marriage is legal.
GET MARRIED!
I’ll check in with you about a month out from the big day to reconfirm details (and if you have any questions leading up, I’m only an email away).
Then, on the day-of, you can bet I’ll be there, ready to capture it all!

Let’s talk, collaborate, and make something amazing.
