New York elopement and microwedding photographer

So how does this work?

I am a documentary-style NYC elopement photographer, meaning I strive to capture the day naturally as it unfolds. Yes, there will be some traditional posed portraits, but for the most part it’s more candid and organic; minimal “cheese for the camera”-type shots. Aesthetically, I edit for classic, true-to-life coloring.

I am a full-service NYC wedding photographer, meaning I help my couples every step of the way along the wedding planning and photography process. Believe me — photography shouldn’t be the stressful part!

1. Reach out. First, contact me with a few introductory pieces of information, like your event date and what you’re envisioning.

2. Zoom one-on-one. After the initial email introduction, we’ll set up a video chat via Zoom and talk more fully about your wedding and how I can help make it happen. Here you’ll be also be able to see the quality of the albums and prints, as well as all customization options.

3. The event. After the contract and retainer are executed, the date is all yours! I’ll reach out a few weeks before the event to re-confirm details, but in the meantime, I am 100% reachable by phone or email. I can also refer you to hair and makeup artists, florists, officiants and more, should you need vendor recommendations. I’m also more than happy to assist in crafting your wedding day schedule, as every wedding is different in how long it might take for family portraits, getting ready or ceremony length. On the day-of, I’ll photograph your wedding as planned.

4. Customization session. After your gallery has been delivered, we’ll see what works best for your albums and prints. Your chosen artwork will be shipped directly to you or the gift recipient.

All wedding and engagement packages include edited, high-resolution digital images, printable up to 8″x12″. Images are delivered in an online gallery, ready for you to download and share with family and friends.

Wedding albums and framed wall art will be shipped directly to you or the gift recipient.

I offer custom-designed premium wedding albums, handmade with archival materials. There are tons of options to make it uniquely yours, including choice of cover material, paper and name debossing. Framed fine art prints are also available in a variety of sizes. All prints are museum quality, and come with a lifetime guarantee from yellowing or fading. Albums and prints can be shipped directly to non-local family members.

I estimate 40-50 edited images per hour that we spend together. However, there’s no maximum number on images — if there’s a good one taken, it will be in your final gallery.

You don’t have to choose — you get both! I shoot in color, and during post-processing I convert suitable photos to black and white for added effect, and you’ll get both versions in the gallery. If you have a special affinity for black and white, definitely let me know; I can absolutely convert more photos to suit your aesthetic.

Absolutely. I’ve lived 15+ years in the NYC area, the majority of which were spent in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I’ve photographed weddings all over the city, the Hudson Valley and New Jersey. I am more than happy to travel.

I initially meet all my couples, both local and out-of-town, via Zoom. Here we can discuss all parts of your wedding vision and I can answer all questions.

To make sure your big day is remembered the way it should be, I strongly recommend a second shooter for all weddings with more than 120 guests, and require a second shooter for more than 150 to make sure we don’t miss a thing. A second photographer is included in some wedding packages, or can be added to any smaller package for an additional cost.

Absolutely. I know that sometimes things come up — the cake is later than expected, or you’ve planned fireworks at midnight — so I’m flexible. Additional hours can be purchased in advance or on the fly the day-of — the most important thing is that every part of your big night is captured, so just ask and we’ll work something out.

Yes! I love shooting NYC elopements and City Hall weddings, and have special packages for these unique types of weddings. See my step-by-step guide to City Hall weddings and NYC elopements.

Yes, my personal view is that love is love. Some of my most memorable couples have been same-sex, and I’m so happy to have been invited to photograph their big day.

All my work is refined in post-production, and I take pride in giving all my couples the best possible presentation of the day. You’ll receive a sneak peek within 7 days, so you can share the day with loved ones who weren’t able to attend. For the full collection, you’ll receive an invitation to an online gallery within 8-12 weeks.

Yes. After we meet and determine it’s a good fit, I will draft up a contract outlining everything we discussed. If all looks good, all I need is a signed contract, as well as a 50% retainer, and then your wedding date is all yours!

Yes, I carry general liability and equipment insurance. Please let me know if your venue needs a certificate of insurance.
