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!

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that my photos of some Jets players helping out at the turkey drive had made it onto the Jets’ official web site. Pretty cool, right?

Well shortly after, I found out that one of my photos had been printed in an issue of the New York Daily News! So naturally, I had to get my hands on a copy of it. I didn’t find out about it until the day after though, so I had to run around checking every newsstand and deli within an 8-block radius from my office. It turned into a wild goose chase with the unfortunate end result of nobody having any copies leftover from the previous day. I suppose I could have ordered a copy from the Daily News, but I reeeeeeally didn’t want to have to wait for it.

Then, completely by chance and in true NYC fashion, I stumbled across a massive pile of tied-up newspapers outside of an apartment complex, set on the curb for recycling. They were all in great condition, so I poked through and was able to find my issue! :D

This is a quick Macbook photobooth shot of me holding up the paper:

And here’s the photo that made the paper:

I’m pretty psyched!

Earlier this week, I photographed two players from the New York Jets volunteering at the Community Kitchen and Food Pantry of West Harlem. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who knows less about football than I do. I’ve even made a habit of referring to the championship game as the ‘Stuperbowl’ and avoiding it like the plague – and unfortunately it always seems to fall right around my birthday.

But according to my fanatical Jets fan cousin, Jason Taylor is kind of a big deal. Apparently he’s a superstar athlete and was once on Dancing With The Stars (ah, now you’re speaking my language!). He and teammate Bart Scott served breakfast at the soup kitchen, then helped unload a truck full of turkeys for Thanksgiving. They were nothing but friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy helping out, which was so great to see. Seeing the super-fortunate helping out the much less-fortunate makes me happy.

Some of my photos made it onto the Jets’ website – check it out! :D

This batch of photos is the last in a series I did for a prominent NYC nonprofit organization. I visited soup kitchens and a senior center and photographed clients utlilizing services there. My photos are going to be published in the organization’s annual report, which I am eagerly waiting to see! I’ll be sure to post photos of the report once I have it in my hands :)

As I mentioned before, I really enjoyed these assignments because they were different from my usual wedding and event photography, yet still allowed me to practice photojournalism and capture the essence of people. I’d love to do more of this sort of work! This particular shoot at the ENCORE senior center was especially enjoyable because all the folks were so nice and funny. Lots of jokesters at the senior center, that’s for sure!

Don’t worry, we’ll be back to our regular scheduled programming soon! I know I’ve been posting a seemingly random array of photos lately, but the month of June is stock full of weddings, events, and engagement shoots for me. I’m excited to officially kick off this wedding season!

West Harlem Community Kitchen

2010.03.26 | Posted in NYC

I’ve had the privilege of assisting a certain nonprofit organization with taking pictures at some NYC soup kitchens for their annual report. It’s been so much fun meeting the clients, chatting with them about their experiences at these soup kitchens, and photographing them.

Shooting various NYC events in the past year has really opened my eyes to how diverse this city is. From soup kitchen clients to the Real Housewives of NYC at a boutique opening, I’ve seen firsthand how New York can be home to anyone, no matter what race or class they may be. I think this is one of my favorite things about NYC – you can find anything and anyone here. I’m so glad to be living here!
