I'm Lindsay! I love travel, coffee, cats, running, long walks anywhere... and of course, photography :)

I'm a Brooklyn Wedding Photographer based in NYC, but I'll travel anywhere to take pictures. If you're engaged, I'd love to hear from you so please do get in touch!

Check out past engagement sessions and weddings I've photographed!



ANNOUNCEMENT: I will be out-of-office until February 13, celebrating my 27th birthday by roadtripping around Hawaii :) I will have limited access to email, but will respond to all inquiries as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience!

I absolutely LOVE the concept of elopement. Love, adventure, travel, and a wee bit o’ secrecy – that’s all pretty much right up my alley (sorry, Mom!).

Lauren and Dave eloped to NYC from Detroit this summer, and I got to be the lucky one who photographed their New York adventures! Peter of Film Cars drove us around the city in a checker cab (yep, the same one I had the pleasure of jetting around in this spring at Alison & Stephen’s wedding!), from Central Park to the Brooklyn Bridge. Looking back on it three months later, the thing I remember the most is how jazzed we were – all 4 of us. There was so much good energy between us all that made the day that much more enjoyable :)

Ohhhhh, this is a special one.

I really love shooting people I know. If you’re a good friend of mine, you can likely attest to this fact as you recall the numerous times we’ve hung out where I pulled out my camera and made you hold that pose “riiiiiight there” so I could snap a few shots. Maybe I even pulled out my tripod so I could get a shot of us together… and perhaps I told you to tilt your head down or make a funny face. And you obliged because, well, you’re awesome – which of course is why we’re friends in the first place :D

I don’t think I ever quite subjected Ben to my snap-happy habits until now, but back in the day there was many a night spent hanging out at his apartment playing Rockband, where I certainly polluted the air with my overzealous singing and less-than-stellar guitar playing. Not only did he put up with it, but he’d also make me coffee at midnight when I was dragging. That’s a good friend right there.

So I thought I’d return the favor and take some awesome engagement photos of him and Julie :)

We traipsed around Central Park to the spot where they got engaged [insert *awwwwwww* here ;)], Shake Shack where they had their post-engagement celebratory cheese fries, Joe The Art Of Coffee where they often frequent (which btw is one of my go-to coffee shops when I’m in Manhattan), and Riverside Park. They were their silly, movie-quoting selves, and I was along to document the ride:

I left my apartment very early on a Tuesday morning last month, embarking on the usual 13-minute walk to the subway station (I know, not cool). I’m pretty sure I was rocking out to Lady Gaga on my ipod as per usual, likely spacing out to whatever random thought had popped into my head at the time. One second I was walking down the sidewalk, about to step onto the road, and the next second I was on the ground, having taken the oddest fall of my life. There was nothing that had tripped me, and nothing that could have distracted me from the seemingly simple task of crossing the street… yet somehow, I’d managed to slice my knee, rip my pants, and sprain my ankle/foot (I still don’t know which it was). How did this happen?!

In true Lindsay fashion, I picked myself up and continued walking as if nothing happened, occasionally glancing down at my knee which was dripping blood. I mean, I was en route to the City Clerk’s office to witness and photograph Lauren & Preston’s civil marriage ceremony, I had no time for injuries!

All injuries aside, I had so much fun with Lauren and Preston on their wedding day. They completely choreographed their post-wedding shoot themselves! After their city hall ceremony, we cruised around Manhattan in a 1937 Rolls Royce and went up to the Meatpacking District to shoot near some cool graffiti they liked. From there, we walked down 5th Ave, stopped at The Plaza (hello, Home Alone 2!), grabbed some hotdogs at a stand, and wandered around Central Park. Their wedding photos were very New York and very Lauren & Preston, and I’m especially proud of them given the fact that I was limping around the entire time :)

L & P, you were beyond amazing to work with. Thank you for being a testament to why I do what I do!

Cameron and Brian are about the sweetest couple you could meet. They just graduated from med school and wanted to do their engagement shoot in NYC before moving to San Francisco. They wanted some very New Yorky photos – and you can’t get much more New Yorky than Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge, right? :)

It’s funny because we were wrapping up in Central Park and had to hurry to make it to the Brooklyn Bridge before sunset, when in-between shots, a gentleman struck up a conversation with me about photography and becoming a professional photographer. I always relish the opportunity to talk photography to anyone, anytime, so I was happy to chat for a bit, but the whole time I was thinking about how we only had about 30 minutes to get down to the bridge to catch the sunset. I didn’t want to keep Cam & Brian waiting and potentially miss it, so I had to cut our conversation short.

We got down to the Brooklyn Bridge a little later than planned, and in true NYC fashion I was feeling a little hurried/stressed. But by the time we got out onto the bridge, we were hit with this incredible light that we might not even have had if we hadn’t been running late.

That’s always how it is though, isn’t it? We plan, we rush, we hurry, we worry – and usually it all works out in the end. I’d say it more than worked out for us with this shoot :)
