Sarah and Ali got married last weekend in North Jersey. To say that I was honored to have met them, photographed them, and been a part of one of the most important days of their lives would be the understatement of the year.
I am insanely excited to share their wedding photos. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come soon! :)
Sarah & Ali – I hope you are having an incredible time in the Bahamas!! (I know you’re reading this!) :D
Today I photographed Rute & Peter’s intimate wedding at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC. It was nothing short of gorgeous, and I can’t wait to share the photos I took! For now, here are two shots to hold you over: the second one was taken with my new tilt shift lens! :)
On July 17th, I had the honor of shooting the wedding of a very good friend of mine. Jill and I have known each other for over 10 years, despite never having lived within 250 miles of each other. I’m not even sure how we became friends in the first place, though I’m pretty sure it had a lot to do with our mutual love for boybands and baseball. Neither of these interest me much anymore, but I’m so grateful they brought us together in friendship :)
But oh man, I can’t even tell you how excited I was for Jill and Esrael’s wedding. I even had two engagement shoots with them in the months leading up to their big day (which you can see here). I wanted nothing more than to spend their wedding day doing what I love, for people I love, who are so very in love (how’s that for an overdose of love?).
And that’s precisely what I did :)
Here is the first part of their wedding photos, from getting ready through the ceremony (which took place at Mosaic Church in Washington D.C.). Part 2: portraits & receptions (coming soon!).
There was a red carpet!! Had to incorporate that into some shots, obviously:
What I really loved about their wedding day was how it was a celebration of two cultures coming together. Esrael’s family is from Eritrea, so they had Eritrean prayers and songs incorporated into the ceremony.
Congrats, Jill & Esrael! I am so, so happy for you guys and hope you come up to visit me again soon!
Also – special thanks to my friend and second shooter, Kelsey Fain, for roadtripping with me from NYC to DC and shooting their wedding with me :D
This past weekend, one of my favorite people married her favorite person. I couldn’t be happier for Jill and Esrael – I’m still smiling about it! :)
Here’s a sneak peek of their wedding day – and trust me, many many more photos to come! :D
Tiffany and NiiOkai celebrated their wedding day across two NYC boroughs. It began at the LaGuardia Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Queens, where Tiffany and her bridal party got ready. The ceremony was held at a church in Brooklyn, and was followed with some portraits at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. I’ve been to a good number of museums in NYC, but somehow I’d never even heard of this one. Turns out it’s a fantastic spot for a photoshoot! I only wish we’d had more time to roam around the museum.
Afterwards I headed back to Queens with the wedding party on a party bus, which ended up breaking down on the highway back – whoops! Thankfully a replacement bus was sent right away to pick us all up, so we didn’t miss much of the reception. Talk about luck!
Congrats to Tiffany and NiiOkai!
